person A: My kids have been gone for a week on vacation with my parents. They are going to be gone for another week.
person B: Are you happy or sad about it? I mean on one hand you have all that time to yourself but at the same time I'm sure you miss them.
person A: It has been too long and I miss them too much now. It is way too quiet around here.
person B: I know what you mean_comma_ I feel that way every time my kids go to their grandparents house too.
