What are some things an empty nester can do?

Answer by  HawaiianGirl (6906)

An empty nester needs to do things to keep themselves busy. Perhaps try a new hobby or extra curricular activity.

First, get to know your spouse all over again and date each other -- if you don't have a spouse, consider dating. Second, volunteer: many causes and people need your care and effort. Third, take up something new that you would enjoy, such as a hobby or part time work.

As an empty nester it can feel like you have nothing to do and all the time in the world. It can be very beneficial to start up a new hobby in this time. Rediscover what you loved to do before you had children, reestablish that connection with your spouse, join a club, or go to the gym.

I would take the opportunity to develop myself further as a whole, individual real person. I would do interesting things, learn interesting things or meet interesting people that you were do busy or tied up to do before. I would take up hobbies, read books, take classes, and meet people.
