Act like you did when you first fell in love.
Invite old friends to dinner often.
Talk openly about all the things you want to do when your child moves out.
Make noise when she is trying to sleep.
Ask where she is going and when she plans to return.
Repeat often.
Inquire about the direction of her life often.
Ask specific, detailed questions.
Take over her bedroom.
Tell her you need the space for your hobby. Transfer your model airplanes, coin collection, computer equipment, or workout equipment to her bedroom. Move her bedroom to the hot attic or unheated basement.
Set a specific departure date.
Send a written eviction notice. Change the locks when the move-out date comes.
