Empty Nester here! My one and only baby left for college 13 hours from home at 18 and never moved back.. I can’t complain she is a good girl. She is in an Ivy League doctoral program now. I’m a proud mom. You have done a great job! Your kids are strong enough to make their way in this world. It’s so tough being a mom! It’s tougher watching them spread their wings and fly away. Focus on you for a change! Prayers for your peace during this time!

[@jackiifortner6659]

When them babies grow up that's when mommas really hit their knees

[@saraphillips1038]

When you’re raising your kids, it’s all encompassing. It’s so hard to let go when they get older. Hang in there, Tiffany… You’re a good mom you have so much to be proud of! Praying for you!

[@katievaldez2133]

Tiffany, yes as a Mom it is so bittersweet to see your kids spread their wings and fly. That is a Mom’s job. Yes give yourself grace and laugh. Find those friends that make you laugh. Fella and Bella so cute!🌸🌸🌸

[@simplysharon8136]

Thank you being so raw and honest! I appreciate that ❤ you will get through it Tiffany your amazing!!! 🫶 your an amazing momma ❤

[@ashleyb9844]

Hey you are going though the stuff with the kids.. but you will get though it.😊

Any time. All situations r different

[@gingerduke3625]

Hi Tiffany! I’m excited for you to come to San Antonio. There is lots to see here. Be sure to tour the Alamo while you are here. Hang in there Sweet Mama! You are a wonderful Mom. Just look back at what a great job you’ve accomplished so far. God is with you!! We are here for you any time!! Sending lots of love from San Antonio, Texas.

[@marycanfield9472]

Love you, Tiffany! You're such a great mom!

[@nigella4me]

Just enjoy your daughter as much as you can while she's there. When my last one left I was CRUSHED! I felt so lost, so empty, depressed and so sad. I cried a lot as each one of my 5 kids moved out. The last video I made was about empty nesting. Haven't made one since for many reasons. It totally changes your life in every way once the kids are all moved out. I have two little dogs, and without them I would go CRAZY! The quietness of living alone is NOT easy when you're used to kids being around. It takes time to adjust to the new environment in your home without the kids. You'll get through it, but don't always push away those sad feelings, sometimes you just need to cry it out, lay in bed for the day, or just feel like total crap, cry, yell out your frustrations, etc. It's a huge change.

[@user-rr1oo5gp6z]

Hey Tiffany, I want you to know that God is with you and your family. I know that you have been their for your children. May God bless you always. Sonia in FL.

[@lisacollins1268]

Mothers put all their eggs in mother baskets! We all do it. This is exactly why there is a Mothers Day. Our kids love us but yes it’s hard. I have four from 24 to 15 and it’s changing. They can be mean. You find yourself thinking “what happened to my sweet babies” God bless all you dedicated mothers! You Got this! 😊

[@annerusso8835]

Hi Tiffany, first of all you look so nice and comfortable folding all your towels!! My sister had 2 boys and 1 girl. She always told me 'be glad you had boys' and we would laugh. Now I have 2 granddaughters and I now know what she was talking about!! Keep that great relationship you have with your daughter, you just have to keep being the good Mom you are !! So very happy you will be seeing Cayman soon and you got to talk to him. Hang in there girl you got this!! Enjoy.

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Big hugs! You are doing a great job! Speaking of challenges. Feel free to challenge her to wash and fold her own dang towels. Just cuz you work from home, that doesn’t mean you have to do all the house chores. If she is about to be an adult. She can start practicing adult living which includes laundry ❤🙂

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Daughter and moms is a tough dynamic but remember you are the Mom not her friend. You need to teach her how to be a good person and that includes how she treats you. Every time you donate or volunteer you set an example. I encourage you to include her when you do your good works so she doesn’t take your generosity for granted. She is Not entitled to the things you give her . She is lucky to have you! Feel the love from all of us with launched kids or kids at home❤❤❤

[@everythingmarmie8471]

Completely went through all of your emotions! Three grown daughters. It’s hard. Especially since you invest every ounce of being into them and then poof! You are not important anymore (even though you are but it’s different- they have lives, partners, babies, careers…). Blessings and hugs- please do more of these chats! I really think they help and encourage others!🙏💕

[@nancybaker6011]

My sons are now 49 and almost 54. The oldest joined the Army at 20, turned 21 in basic, went straight to Iraq, served in Germany, got out after three years, finished college and re-enlisted as an officer. He retired right before the pandemic hit with 25 years total served. He’s been all over the world, got his master’s degree and learned Chinese. He’s flown me to many wonderful places, including China! I now live in a house that he bought for me to live in, and he supports me. I was a single mom (divorced)too, and the oldest was fairly easy, the youngest was tough and we are estranged. I did my best at the time, but I have many regrets. My kids were latch-key kids. One handled it well, the other didn’t. I’m so glad you got to be there for your kids. You’re the mom I wish I could have been.

[@marvalous727]

Tiffany - I love love your channel. Love your hauls. You are a great Mom! Keep doing what you’re doing. Give it to God and keep loving your daughter. We are here for you.❤

[@vernoniadavis1757]

I had twin girls at 18 and another daughter at 22 and OMG the girls were fun at times, but the teenage years did get difficult at times. Hang in there, you only have one daughter you got this Tiffany!

[@user-qr4yv9gy6h]

First, I have to say that you are such a precious individual. I’m not one to ever comment on social media, but I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I can tell that your heart is hurting, so I just wanted to reach out:) It’s such a catch-22, we’re so proud of our children and want them to succeed and have their own life, but at the same time, we want them home;) It’s so true that our time with them is so short! I’ve been able to watch a few videos when your children were with you and it’s evident how much they love and respect their mama! You’ve done an amazing job, single-handedly raising them! I’m recently an empty nester and I have to say that I still struggle with it. My husband and I do enjoy ourselves, but it’s so different from the full house we had for so many years! We raised 4, three boys and the baby is a girl. So when you spoke about the difference in raising boys vs girls, I understood exactly what you were saying! There’s something about a mama & son relationship. Boys love their mamas. Don’t get me wrong, I know our daughter loves me, but the dynamic is so different from how my boys show their love for me. My husband and I look at each other so often and say how truly blessed we are with our four babies and now with our beautiful daughter in law AND precious granddaughter;) From the way you speak, I assume you are a woman of faith, so continue to pray and giving yourself grace. You will make it through this journey, just like you’ve overcome ever other obstacle that came your way. Keep your sweet chin up!

[@lesaseil565]

Always enjoy your videos! My heart felt for you watching this one! Even though I may be a little bit older, I totally understand and remember those days! I had two boys and one went into the Marine Corps and my other was already out of the house - plus being a single mom was the hardest part of my life - so I get it. Always will listen, we all have those days were we just need to talk! Love listening to your southern twang :) Hope your day was letting you feel a bit better after just releasing what you needed to get off your chest! Hugs!!!

[@brendachance9273]

You’re not boring. Just a real down to earth person with real issues. I wanted to mention a really fun movie on Netflix. It’s an oldie but goodie. The Money Pit with a young tom hanks 💗

[@jennifersilva7250]

I'm an empty nester too. I have a boy (24) and girl (27) with 2 grandkids already from my daughter. YES, those girls are something else! They are both Cancer signs, but complete opposites. He was much easier (except he didn't like school). You are the best mom and I'm so happy we had this chat. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. I miss your boys too, it's always fun seeing your kids with you. You are right - We'll get through this. 🥰 Love you!

[@bernadettechute7998]

Sending love. Appreciate your openness. You are a great mom - great human being. So happy to have found your channel and “ become part of the family” as you say.

[@janemurrell9157]

I really enjoyed your video! Fella is so cute!

[@irenetalley5843]

It gets lonely especially if you’re by yourself. God intends our children to spread their wings…that’s how it’s supposed to happen. But it is a very sad time of life. I’m by myself and live in California with my sister, while my 3 adult kids and grandkids live in Kentucky and Colorado. I will eventually move to be near them. There is something beautiful to look forward to and that’s Grand-babies. That is the beautiful part of this story. Hang in there pretty mama. It does get easier.❤

[@Jackie1111]

Hi Tiffany. I relate so much. My daughter is 16 and we are very close but its tough at this age we just got over an argument but it hurt. You are a great mom. Im sending you a hug and blessings for you and all of your children 💗 🙏

[@whitelightwhiskey]

I love that you did this kind of video. When I first started it and realized what it was, I stopped so I could give it extra special attention. I got my laundry to fold and a tea and it was such a gift to sit with you even if I am not right there. I have been watching your videos for so long, And it's always been clear from the first video how much you love your kids. You are the cream that rises to the top, you are an amazing mom and a phenomenal person. I respect everything about you. I am sending you love, prayers, and good energy while you work through this. Thank you for being authentic and sharing. 💚💚💚

[@sharonellison8857]

You are a wonderful lady! I love all of your videos, even the ones where you are folding laundry and chatting. You are such an awesome momma. The place you are at right now is difficult, but it too will pass.

[@jeanmariep5497]

Tiffany, I adore you. You are a fantastic mom!!!!! This video spoke to me as a mom. I get it! Please know your videos have cheered me up more than you know for the last 4 years. I look forward to your videos every day. Thank you!!!!!

[@dianeshover1465]

Your dear Kia should be folding ALL those towels HERSELF😆.....maybe then she’ll start using a few LESS after that 😭😂🤣🤩🤩

[@sarahdillon9176]

Yes!!! Raising boys is so different than girls! Both crazy and wonderful in their own ways but so different! Keep hanging in there! My little girl is 16 now and its....an "adventure"! We'll get through this and they'll be our best friends before we know it! 💜 I'm praying for you and your family and especially Cayman and all of our service members and their families! Sending you big hugs, Mama!

[@wendybrown3502]

I folded laundry with you Tiffany!❤ I can totally relate. Our 21 year old son got his own apartment in July. He's the last one. I was a wreck in July and August. It's a little better now, but I still worry like crazy! Plus 2 weeks ago he had to have an emergency appendectomy! Scary! We went to lunch and grocery shopping together today, so that was nice! Hugs sweet mama!❤😊

[@tomthannacarbajal9764]

Hi Tiffany, I raised two sons and it had its moments. But compared to banging heads with a daughter, that would try my patients. Especially when we have lived and know from experience. We only want the best for them. And your sweet puppy feels your stress, I can see it in his eyes and body language. I'm 71 and I know I gave my parents a little trouble too. I've been married for 52 years two sons, four grandchildren and four greatgrands. They all are special each is different. I wish you joy and peace💖

[@cynthiaparrish9452]

[@alyssia6510]

Thank you for being so real with us. I feel like I’m talking with a friend. Texas native here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I hope you enjoy your trip here. I have two girls 10, 8 and 1 boy 10 months old. I’m going through a season where I want to start a KZbin channel and I just don’t think I would be that interesting. But yes I felt that when you said you want your own hobbies besides being mommy.

[@janiceh4521]

Tiffany, San Antonio is so beautiful! Make sure you go to the canal walk for dining, shopping and take a taxi boat just to ride. The Mexican restaurant are true Mexican food there is one with a huge bakery can’t remember name but omgoodness! The people are so nice. So many things to do there. The Alamo is a great few hour tour the history and beauty of property! Can’t wait to get Caymen update, video hopefully! ❤ it’s so hard when they leave with your life of details. It will take a bit but you will find this too shall pass and once your heart catches up to your head it will be great, you will always miss them being at home but it’s an amazing change when the friendship begin (not that it’s not there now but it changes) it’s amazing!

[@aiti_dee]

My daughter is 23, she was a breeze from about 2 months old. My son is 18 and has been difficult since day 1! I say that with total love. Every kid is different. Hang in there mama! You're doing great! ❤❤❤

[@nannybug1118]

My granddaughter turned 17 yesterday too. Hang in there mama. My son went in USAF at 19 he retired 5 years ago. It was a great career. Give him to God to protect. ❤️

[@persiusk]

Girl, it does come so fast. When you’re in it it doesn’t feel that way, but when they go on, it’s tough no matter what, mothering is the hardest job we do. One thing I did before my son left was to show him how you build your tribe and surround yourself with positive people, doing that really helped me even now because I have those people and more just coming out of the woodwork that chill with me now that I’m by my lonesome. I guess that’s what I’d reccomend the most, bc it helps them see how to gather friends, and helps you gather yours before they go.

[@bettyviera6948]

Yesss girl, I’m a single mom of 5 and it’s hard, my adult son has autism and my youngest just had brain surgery and my other two daughters are teen moms but God is good and yes we need to push threw , I need to learn self care , prayer time has helped me so much

[@melissaveldt8198]

My youngest is 32 and I still have empty nest syndrome at times especially around the holidays or special occasions that they can’t make it back home. It is really hard but I know they have their own lives live and tell myself that I raised them the best I could and taught them right from wrong.

[@tammyt6193]

Totally agree, I go through the same. Mine are 31 and 38, and I have times I can't believe the years rolled by so fast. I've been by myself since August 2014 and it's still hard, especially at the holidays when we live so far apart. Hugs to you! 💜

[@MoMoney0617]

And I love it when you do these chat videos cause sometimes I just need somebody to chat with too

[@hopecolegio2662]

You are an amazing mother and are raising terrific kids. I only have boys but have heard boys are easier. I’m not an empty nester and not even close. My boys are 24,14,6. My oldest one is out of the house and I’m always worried about him . My 14 yr old is starting to run around with his friends but I still have my 6 yr old. I’m praying for you sweet Tiffany.

[@ByThePound214]

My son is 34 and I still remember when my son moved out like it was yesterday. It’s so hard but at the same time you have to be proud of them and yourself that they want to be independent. What a roller coaster of emotions! I get it girl!

[@user-ki3hs5wd4l]

My oldest went to school in Toronto, Canada and stayed! He is 27 now. My youngest then went to school in Alabama, and he stayed as well. He's 23. This California mom misses her boys SO much! It is a constant ache in my heart, but I am so proud of them both!

[@ronnavarney7318]

My girls dirty alot of laundry till I made them fold their own then they didn't do it so much it worked

[@CarmelaForbing-ze2pk]

Praying for you sweetie. You can do this with prayer and trusting God He's got this.... TRUST! TRUST!! TRUST!!!!!!!!

[@lisab9541]

You're going to make it, Mama. I'd love to see more of the kitties. I haven't seen Ella and Stella for a long time. Fella is so like my dog was and he was so human. He understood everything.❤ I hope that call you got was ok. You didn't come back.

[@lisanorman1181]

Hang in there, Tiffany, truth be told no matter how old your kids get nothing ever really changes. They always need you and they have kids and they need you. I have two granddaughters in college and I can honestly say motherhood never ends. Lol.

[@janeneilar6865]

You are a great mom! You raised your kids to make a life for themselves and you taught them right and wrong. They will thank you one day! Be patient with your daughter it must be on your mind she’s next. Single parents are strong, but loving!! You’re doing a great job momma! She don’t say it but she appreciate you!!

[@Jgiu8909]

I grew up without much and had to work to support myself and buy my own things for school and stuff and I swore to myself that my kids would never have to deal with that stress. Fast forward to now, I kept that promise to myself and my kids aren't spoiled entitled brats or anything but they definitely aren't hurting for stuff. One day my daughter (almost 17) said to me that I buy her love when I literally do what I'm supposed to do as a parent and provide for her and my son. That hurt me A LOT! I feel like a failure often (I know I'm not but I have my days) and her saying that really got to me. I'm doing my best. Anyway, my daughter is def the hardest. Always has been since she was little.

[@terirachelsims8928]

If it were me, I'd make sure the person using all the towels, etc. washed them! She's plenty old enough to do laundry, and actually I'm thankful that while I lived at home while I went to a local university, I was responsible for things like doing my own laundry, so that when I moved many miles away for graduate school, I was used to it. I feel the same way about your son. On the other hand, my parents always managed to have a nice mix of teaching me to "fend for myself" yet feeling well-protected. I have a feeling you'll do a good job of it!

[@dianethompson6351]

Sweet Tiffany….I have 5 grown kids. 4 boys and 1 girl. That girl has been the roughest but I love her to death. Not to make you feel worse I am on antidepressants. I miss being a “mommy”. I find myself sitting on the end of my brown couch. I am trying to come up with a hobby but to no avail. Girls are a challenge give yourself so grace. I wish I could give you a big hug. Thanks for being here I feel better just chatting. HUGS

I am an empty nester and my sons live out of state. I only get to see my youngest son once a year at Christmas time and he is twelve hours away. I cry when we part after celebrating Christmas and my birthday together because I only see my youngest once a year. My oldest son is 6 hours away from me and I only see him maybe two or three times a year. We all get together at Christmas and my birthday.

[@tinacoffey2566]

My heart is hurting for you right now! You are having perfectly normal grieving, over your boys not being home. I have an 18 year old son who has just started the process of joining the Air Force. I am soooo proud of him, but I can't even think about him being gone from home. I dread it. We are 5 hours from San Antonio and you will love it! The Air Force graduation ceremony is very emotional and so cool! Thankfully the Air Force is not usually the first on the ground in times of war. Enjoy Texas! Congratulations on your son serving for his country.

[@pmiller8655]

Hey Tiffany, I am a single mother of a boy and girl and in my experience, you are right, teenage girls are a whole different breed. My son was easy but my daughter, whoa a whole different world, lol. You're absolutely right do not take anything she says or does personally, she loves you more than she ever has, however she isn't the daughter she use to be. Growing pains I guess, and while we as adults went through growing pains at that age experiencing them again with our daughters is tough. My daughter and I were and are very close but during those teen years I felt pushed out and left in the dark. Like you said they are finding their way and aren't as willing to share their lives beyond the surface. She is now a momma of 2 boys and is doing a great job. I'm proud of her. We share our lives like we did before the "teen years", and she tells me all the time I'm her hero. I was scared and worried for her during those years and hoped that she would remember all I taught her about the world which for the most part she did. We had some battles that left me feeling hopeless, sick with worry and sad but hang in there and things get better. Keeping the door open while she is putting a lock on it was tough, but we managed, and you will to. I was like you my kids were and are my life and I put them first even before myself most of the time and that's where I think you are now, who is Tiffany? When you are suddenly by yourself you may find out you're not sure who you are beyond Mom. You have been making life choices about everything with them foremost in your thoughts and now you can decide what does Tiffany want for herself and it's scary. It's odd to be able to come and go or make decisions based only on what you want. It takes time to realize that you have a freedom you haven't had in a very long time. I will keep you and your children in my prayers.

[@alexisbateman8443]

I’m right there with you! My son moved out, he shares an apartment with three other young men and I just sent him a huge Dollar Tree snack/hygiene care package because I worry he doesn’t have enough. 😢. And he lives in a different city. 😢😢. He’s joining the military this summer as well. My younger two are still home but they’re starting to have some normal teenager tribulations as well, so I feel you! I do have to agree, boys are A BREEZE for sure! I don’t have girls and I’m glad, lol! I grew up in an all-girl household.

Your video made me cry but in a good way. I’m going through very similar situations and am struggling daily. I needed your company and needed to know I’m not alone! I have no friends because my kids come first! I homeschooled all 4 of mine and still homeschool 2 teenage daughters. It’s tough and hard! Love them but really struggle with nobody to talk to and vent to. My boys were difficult but in a very very different way! My girls oh boy!! I take it all very personally and need to learn how not to. Thank you for your honesty with us all!!!

I totally understand!! I’m 42 and single and I have one son who is 20 he is ready to spread his wings and I want him to but it is hard for me as his mom.

Thank you for sharing your journey!

Oh yay! You’ll love Texas! I’ll be in SA as well. Gotta get some puffy tacos while you’re there! Hang in there mama! You got this. Praying for you girl! Mom of 4 I can relate with the changes . BTW My oldest son is in GA - Duluth. My advice would be just trust in God and let your kiddos see this relationship . Then cover your babies prayer and let the good Lord do his thing! Btw Free Chapel is an awesome church - we go to service there when we visit our son - Powerful Services! You’re A Great Mom! 🦋

Hi Tiffany, let me tell you, OHhhhhhhh Boy! I have 3 sons and 1 daughter and Definitely my daughter made up for all 3 of her brothers 😂, i was a teen mama as well, I had my 1st at 17 and the other 3 followed suit! I know how your feeling being an empty nester, I had such a hard time with each one as they made the decision to move out on their own, but still shopped at Mama’s anytime they wanted and i did the same as you I would buy “goodies” and cook all the time for them and they would either pick it up or this mama would just love to bring them surprises too. NOW Their all grown and married and im not only a VERY Proud Mama, also a VERY Proud Grandma. Tiffany your an AMAZING Mama, and all your AMAZING children are gonna continue to be GREAT JUST LIKE YOU!

I started caring and getting involved in politics when I realized we have an effect on the laws, rules and politics especially of our town.

You got this Tiff, I know you will find your way through. Girls are something else they will test your last nerve they give you what you gave your mom. Boys are easy peasy because they want to please their mommy. I have faith that you will see her through. What are you going to do though when she’s gone?. It’s been super hard for me it’s like your identity is gone….❤❤❤

Love you , sending hugs!!! God bless you always🙏🏼

Hey Tiffany I get it I needed this today I love listening to you we need to know that life is not perfect all of us have. Ups and downs. We will have Grace together

Hey Tiffany, I myself have a 17 yr old daughter, and a 22 yr old son. Me and my son are very close as well, I'm close with my daughter as well, but in a different way. I really believe you and your daughter will get thru this transition and become close again. You understand she's probably going thru feeling of change as well with her brothers leaving home. Im sure she's feeling a lose as well and maybe doesn't know how to express her feeling and it's causing heartache between the two of you. Your a wonderful mother and woman with great children, things will get better and you both will get thru this . Prayers for your family.❤

[@teresarobertson9121]

Your a special kind of mom. It's all gonna work out. God bless you and your family with Grace and peace 🙏 Love ya Tiffany 🤗

Hi Tiffany. This is the video I am watching now. The middle son Cayman went into the Air Force hey. Well I have some experience as a mom with that. My youngest daughter is Air Force. She’s not on active duty right now. But she did ten years of service. Make sure you and your daughter go to his graduation in San Antonio, Texas. It’s a good experience. Plus you’ll be able to go up and tap him out. And that first hug will make you so proud.❤ You definitely do not want to miss it. God bless

When my son was in the Army it was when they were sending soldiers overseas and I prayed that GOD wouldn't make him go and the day before he was supposed to leave they found a medical compli action with his foot and he couldn't go. My children are now in there late 30s and you have to keep praying for them always and GOD will get you and them through. In a few years she will be grown and be your best friend and understand the decisions you made for her.😊Happy Birthday to Kyia

[@joyceadair3003]

Tiffany, I get exactly what you’re going through in a different way. My mom lives with me and we both deal with health issues at times. It’s hard for two women to be in the same home after we once had our own lives. Stay positive and keep busy and I know you’ll be fine. Praying for you. Thanks for sharing.😊

I got 3 daughters! My Gosh! Just talk to the wall, it’ll listen more than the girls 😂. I’m an empty nester. You will go through it Tiffany. Be prepared. When your daughter moved out that’s when it’s going to hit harder than ever. Your alone. Memories floods your mind. It’ll take a while but it’ll get better and then you’ll love your time.

Tiffany, girl you have done your job! Be proud that your young men are living their lives and are good people, rest in that. It's time for YOU to start making plans for your future and everything you want your life to be. It's your time!

[@sandykuhn6951]

Omg my youngest is 11 and is in middle school and the attitude and distance and mouth ! It is a total 140 and sometimes I just wanna knock her out. Want my sweet baby girl back. Boys and girls are definitely different. I feel you Tiffany it is stressful for us mommas! I cried when my son said he was moving to Florida . 7 kids and it never gets easier

[@plarkin6433]

[@dinacalhau4568]
