Parents who can't wait for their kids to leave home
Original: 'Out of my house': The parents who can't wait for their kids to leave home
An SBS feature explores parents who openly count down the days until their adult children move out, challenging the assumption that empty-nest sadness is universal. The piece gives voice to mothers and fathers feeling relief rather than loss, and the topic is drawing attention as families debate whether wanting independence from grown-up kids is taboo or simply honest.
Why now: It challenges the cultural expectation that parents should grieve when children leave, sparking debate about an honest but rarely admitted feeling.
