dev null Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Sold the kids bunk beds today.. Cleaned out their room, took my eldest daughters posters down off the wall above her bed, and packed away a lot of the stuff they want to take with them. Its all a bit numbing. If you have a bike, take some leave and do a road trip to clean out the headspace.

Its all a bit numbing.That's a hard pill to swallow Honk [emoji52]I haven't even thought yet about packing up all my kid's old toys, books, and photo albums. I just locked them all in one room for now until I am strong enough to face the fact that they will never live here again. BigDL 1

Uni Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 T minus 16 days for when my kids leave for NZ..I have had good days and boy, have I had bad ones...She wants me to take them all to the airport on the 18th which I will do, and it will be very difficult, but I have to do it. Once they are gone, then I will relook things - Do I need a 4 door car? No. Do I need a 2 bed apartment? No. Do I need to stay in Jhb or even SA? No.But no rational or irrational decisions will be made until I am ready.Good luck for tomorrow BigDL, Honkdonk, dirtypot and 1 other 4

Honkdonk Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks guys.I am not taking them to the airport. We had a row over it. They are spending the evening at Kloofzicht so I will spend the morning with them over breakfast and then walking and swimming while the ex repacks all their bags, then I'll say my goodbyes around lunchtime and leave them to settle after I have gone.Tomorrow will be one of the hardest days of my life Pusher, New Landy new life, BigDL and 5 others 8

V12man Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Tomorrow will be one of the hardest days of my lifeConsider it a learning experience - make some plans with friends for the afternoon and evening - and the weekend - sitting around will not be good for you. But the worst is anticipating it - reality never quite matches up. Good luck! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Honkdonk and BigDL 3
