> When your dependents have sucked all the life out of you, you can kick the bucket:)

Don't laugh, there's a reason for it. Read the book "The Red Queen" which explains all this.

Ah, think the commenter was joking around a bit

> when my youngest will be 21, then I can die. ;-)

which I thought was a funny way to put.

But, am sure there is an evolutionary reason for dying after your children leave the nest. It's all good:)

Is this the teen novel or something else? Curios how a teen novel could address these issues?

Rather sounds like they’ve given them their life back.

Am not sure what your statement means? :) who is "them" and who is "their" in this?

voidmain0001 · 2026-08-19T10:00:15

I read it as “them” and “their” is the OP and “they’ve” are OP’s children.

Exactly, good for them
