Whens it all going to happen mum.

I expect many parents have the same questions asked of them.I have a very impatient son who after working in a proper job for three months wants his own place.He has waited a long time to be an adult now he is finds it is not easy.We must have done a good job at making it look easy ,paying bills keeping the house going,having holidays.He must have thought it was a breeze doing all this.He just wants to get going with life like most young people.We have to keep saying it is not as easy as that,you have to save ,work hard and after about a year you should be ok.It is like having a small child waiting for christmas.He is driving us mad.I keep explaining it is more than just paying the rent other bills,home furniture as well.We will be able to help him out with bits and bobs.You hear other parents who take out another mortgage to finance their childrens move away.We cannot manage that unless we give up out holidays ect and live in poverty ,which we are not prepared to do.He does realise this would totally unfair on us as we have worked our way through the hard times.We are torn between crying our eyes out as the youngest child is getting ready to leave home and wanting some peace.How did you deal with this situation.
