I'm at that stage in life where I am preparing for empty nest syndrome. My Father has passed on, so I can't care for him anymore. My son is almost grown and won't let me care for him anymore. If I had grandchildren, I'd love to care for them, but my kiddo is only 16 so I BETTER NOT have any grandbabies anytime soon. And I have no husband to care for.
My nest is slowly emptying out and it's making me aware to the fact that I either need to fill it or I need to start doing things outside of it.
I'd prefer to fill it. I want a hubbie to care for. But if I can't fill it, then I need to think about possibly getting more involved with career, education, politics, volunteerism, etc...
