I started mowing my parents yard then a couple neighbors when I was 6 or 7 with a reel mower. Thought it was fun! :confused: Course to be honest they were small yards and it made me feel all grown up. ;)
Yep, me too, but we lived in the city at the time, and the lawn was about 15x15'.

The place I've lived since 1988 has enough grass and trees and such that I ended up buying a 48" commercial walk-behind, and I didn't feel comfortable letting my son run that until he was about 12. He graduates college this year, and my daughter graduates high school, so I may be back to mowing it myself at least some of the time...

Aw jeez Steve, I feel for you and the wife. You're gonna get the brunt but she will be going through some really tough emotional times. For some of us it takes many years to beat empty nest.

I know about that already, our daughter left for college 3 years ago and they were real close so it was tough for her. God help me

Partially empty nest and complete empty nest are 2 completely different beasts.

YOU MEAN IT GETS WORSE???????
Mine did by 10 fold. I wondered for awhile if I even liked my husband anymore never mind loved him. Be patient, it does pass but it's a rough road.

You may have a much easier time than we did though Losing 5 kids left me with no purpose.
