I think it's time he left home.'

Empty Nest.

"I see the empty nest as a place where an apartment can finally grow up."

"Now that the kids are grown, I think we should invest in something more economical."

"Cheer up. You'll be through postpartum depression and into empty nest elation before you know it!"

"I'm all for pushing them out of the nest, but maybe next time we could wait till they hatch."

'Think about it guys: We're fed and sheltered, why would we ever think about leaving the nest?'

"Your mother and I think it's time you got a place of your own. We'd like a little time alone before we die."

"The house doesn't seem big because the kids are gone - it seems big because we've shrunk so much."

"No, I want to know the meaning of never calling your mother."

"We've waited twenty-five years to make this trip, and we're certainly not interested in getting there in any six and a half hours."

"We used to entertain a great deal."

'Honey...you're spoiling that child.'

"The nest may be empty, but our drinks are full."

"I'm so sorry that I screamed...I had a terrible dream: the kids had to leave college and live with us again...Oh, Ed, it was horrible!"

"Well that's the last of our offspring gone - let battle commence."

"I didn't think you'd still be here at thirty."

'You let me out. What I do when I'm out is my business.'

"They grow up so fast."

'Now that you have a job, Tom, Dad and I are turning your room into a condo!'

"We're taking separate vacations this year."

"He insists he can't leave until he has a full-time job."

'Do you think Mum and Dad are trying to keep an eye on us, by enroling on the same university course as us, Colin?'

"The joy of the house to myself"

"Since he retired, he hasn't quite figured out what to do with himself!"

"Kids in college? Well, won't it be nice to have them home?"

'By the time I was your age , I'd already run away from home TWICE!'

"I suppose it's 'Empty Nest Syndrome', doctor. . . ever since Amber left for college I've felt so empty!"
