Dads, did you cry or get emotional when your son moved out the house?

I have a close friend of the family and two godbrothers that live in Tuscaloosa. The dad teaches at the university of Alabama and both of my godbrothers went to Alabama. The dad told me he didn’t cry at his father’s funeral but when the oldest moved out to his dorm on campus, he said he cried like a baby.
I have heard of dads crying and getting emotional when their daughters moved out of the house but I have never heard of dads crying when their sons moved out.

Some people love their kids. Novel concept, I know.
Stages of life can be hard. Seeing your kids grow up is a kick in the feels for your own mortality.
My kid learned to walk and I felt it. Life happens fast.

I cried on my first day of school.
I screamed and yelled and begged my mother not to leave me there. "Mama please don't go!!" I cried desperately as she waved goodbye.
I hadn't wanted to go to LSU in the first place...

Am I missing something? Why would you cry over one and not the other. Are fathers not supposed to be as close to their sons as they are their daughters.

I didn’t cry but I was worried when my son moved into his dorm at LSU. He was always a great son ( still is) but I remember not being able to sleep for awhile when he was away

Probably crying about all the money it's costing him...It was cheaper when he lived at home.
Seriously. All of my kids are grown, out of the house and doing well in life. Them getting out on there own was a sign that I did things right. Why cry about success? It's not like you will never see them again.

My son didn’t go to college. Went the trade route and is now a journeyman plumber at 22. When he was 20 and still just an apprentice making $17 an hour he decided he wanted to move out and buy a house. Of course I told him the better play was to stay home where he had no bills other than insurance and phone and save money until he completed his apprenticeship and got a raise. He bought a junker of a house that had good bones for $70k and moved out.
Not saying I balled like a baby but I sure did tear up that first night he was out of the house. Combination of how proud I was of him and how scared I was for his future. Fast forward 2 years and he has completely renovated the house, got his license, raise to $25 hour and take home truck, and engaged to pretty little thing in her last year of dental hygiene school. She already had job lined up for $65k year. Had a realtor buddy check out his house and says he should get about $100-110 when he gets ready to sale.
Now with my 26 y/o daughter, yeah cried like a baby at her wedding which is the night she moved out. She is an OTA and I am so dames proud of both of them.

Sure did.
He left me alone with his mom and little sister. I was in a depression like state for a month or two until I adjusted. Life passes quick. If you have young kids, don't always jump at the chance to make money. That overtime check is great and helps you along, but you might miss his first steps or his first home run.

I’m holding little pee boy now. I’ll prolly cry when he goes to school.

I did not cry when my son or daughter moved out. Next month my daughter is moving to another state and I foresee a tearful goodbye. I also cried when my son left the state. What is comforting is that they both will be out of this shite hole into much better places to live.

Good man. It's crazy how many people will try and keep their families rooted in such a shitty state

My son just moved out last month. I didn’t cry because I’ve been grooming him his entire life to be prepared for life on his own. I actually had the opposite emotions, I was happy to see him head out to make a life for himself.

Yes and for our two daughters as well, and when I would leave my parents to return home in Texas from Louisiana

I get a little emo watching videos of my son when he was 3. I’m not much of a crier but won’t be surprised if I do when he moves out

First, I have no daughters. But damn right I did. And the youngest too. Knew that my life had unalterably changed. That I would never enjoy the simple pleasures of having my children in my home as a family living under one roof. The next season of life had begun.

Slightly different scenario, but when I finally moved out of state it was tough on both my dad and I. We liked going to breweries together, enjoyed other things, and now I know he's getting older and entering one of the later stages of his life. I'm trying to convince him to move closer, but we shall see. Home prices may have robbed me of that.
