Sarah and Vinny on Alice.

You have a very nice day at work.

Alice at 973.

I would expect that kids aren't moving out or moving away.

That's just kind of the story you're sold,

except that your kids live across the country.

And kids, they say, are moving an average of almost 400 miles away after leaving home.

Maybe if you hadn't hovered over me so much, I'd stay somewhere near a lot.

You know, Violet is the oldest child of our good friends, the McCutcheons.

I don't know.

It doesn't matter.

But she, when she was looking at colleges and she just started this year, she wanted to

live away from home.

And they were like, why don't you go look at Santa Clara?

And her response was not far enough.

She moved to San Diego.

Oh. And she's going to school at Point Loma, but it was, she wanted to be. That was part of the part of what she was looking for. And she didn't, she doesn't have like, they have a great relationship. And there's, but, and yet she wanted to get away. She wanted to move away. She has a... Well, then she should be proud.

That means that she feels secure enough in her own right that she would like to experience a measure of independence while still fully affiliated with her parents.

And one of the things... And see what life is like without them.

She had a boyfriend in high school, which plenty of us have made decisions based on who we're with, right? Yes. And she didn't go, I'm staying here because of this person. She went, no, I'm going and I got to do my own thing. Did she break up with him when she left? They just are going to try and make it work. And if it doesn't, then they know that that's that's right but she didn't make her choice based on

that and i was really proud of her good for her wow go vi anyway 400 miles everybody

that means you're an empty nester that's not close enough around here like a kid who moves out
