[quote=desmond][quote=desmond]Not to pile on, my son was recently transferred to Houston. I drove out with him and made a movie of the trip, it’s easy and you can post it on youtube, to be 23 again-check out his new roomates:
Meet the parents, my son is in L.A. for a few days, with his new girl friend. They are actually stopping by for dinner tonight and spending the night- then off to Santa Barbara tomorrow. He’s doing great, the point is he has his own life and now manages to visit us just enough to say he did… like I did with my parents. So even though kids are tough, enjoy them while they are still home. I find myself actually thinking about the “Cats in the Cradle” song…..and I thought it was so lame when I was his age……..[/quote]
That song is a definite tearjerker. It motivated me to maintain a closer relationship with my parents, even when it wasn’t particularly “convenient” at the time. So glad that I did that.
Just know that if/when they have kids, they’ll probably come around more often, again.
Is the girlfriend one of the new roommates, or did he meet here elsewhere?
Enjoy the visit with your son and his new gf. Seems pretty serious if he’s already introducing her to you.
