The other wiki has a description of this. If that's what you want, go there and check it out. No! Don't leave me here by myself! I can't bear not having you around; I'll just miss you so much. Parents are involved in their children's lives (well, good parents are). Parents love and support their children (well, good parents do). When children move out of the home and on to college, parents miss them terribly (well, you get where this is going). It's more than missing the child; there's a sense that the parent has lost something important in his or her life (it's somewhat more prevalent in women than in men). Something similar happens when the child gets married. Education Moms and Bumbling Dads may suffer from this extra hard, as can My Beloved Smother. Compare with Empty Bedroom Grieving, which usually involves the death of a loved one instead of them just leaving their childhood home. Contrast Basement-Dweller, where a grown-up child overstays his welcome, although it doesn't always guarantee this trope won't happen when the day finally comes. |

The Magia Record fanfic Growing Pains has Yachiyo, who was already fearing this in canon, facing down it hard as the girls under her start going off to college, and even having Felicia go biking cross-country for Golden Week is hard on her because of it. She does work through it, and even manages to not freak out when Felicia comes back with piercings. | |

The Simpsons deals with this in the episode "A Mid-Childhood Night's Dream," in which Marge's subconscious grapples with the recent problem of realizing that Bart is growing up. This being a Dream Episode, this is at one point literally depicted by Marge standing in the ruins of the crumbling family home, which resembles, you guessed it, a bird's nest. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Onni has the Promotion to Parent variant. His Refusal of the Call, caused in part by a crippling fear of leaving his home military base, resulted in the younger sister and cousin he raised leaving for the expedition without him. He eventually joins Mission Control, which entails an uncomfortable trip to another country, because an unspecified spirit world threat re-awakens soon after and disrupts his magical means of keeping contact with them. While his fellow mage cousin knows he moved because of the spirit world threat, his non-mage sister thinks this trope is the cause, and Onni's response that it's not the case comes across as a Suspiciously Specific Denial. | |

The Dresden Files: Skin Game cites the trope by name. When Dresden meets Hades, they have a discussion about the Everybody Hates Hades trope, with Dresden pointing out that according to the myths, Hades never did anything worse than abducting Persephone. Hades himself claims Persephone came to him willingly, but Demeter, suffering from Empty Nest Syndrome, got upset and blew the whole thing out of proportion. | |

The Owl House When Eda and King are tasked with watching the Bat Queen's babies in "Lost in Language", they initially only do it for the money, especially when the babies turn out to be near-impossible to manage. Once they get the kids to settle down though, they get hopelessly attached, to the point that Luz finds them asleep on the couch with Eda cradling the babies in her arms. After the Bat Queen picks her kids back up, Eda dejectedly tells Luz that she only did it for the money. Luz promptly gives her a book titled "Coping with Empty Nest Syndrome". Played for significantly more drama in "Eda's Requiem". Eda realizes that with Luz trying to find a way back to the human world, and King looking for his birth father, both of them are eventually going to leave her. This results in her pushing them away and throwing herself fully into Raine's rebellion to avoid what she thinks is King trying to tell her he's leaving. She almost convinces Raine to let her go through with a suicide attack against two of the other Coven Heads, but Raine calls the whole thing off when they realize she has children, and tells her that her kids need her more than she realizes — something that's proven true when King reveals that, despite still wanting to find his dad, he's legally changing his surname to Clawthorne to honor the woman who raised him. |

Linda begins to suffer this in the 13th season Bob's Burgers episode "Mother Author Laser Pointer." The thought of her kids eventually going to college drives Linda to despair. When author Bea Cromwell is forced to wait for a tow truck at the restaurant, Linda tries to badger her into writing more of the "Snail & Newt" children's books so she can relive reading them to the kids when they were younger. Linda's zealousness in pushing this results in her cancelling Bea's tow behind her back, and when the woman finds out she grows scared for her wellbeing. As Linda grows more unhinged and desperate to prove she doesn't mean Bea any harm she takes her car keys. It escalates to Bea delivering a lecture on how kids are supposed to grow up and leave while keeping Linda in a headlock until the tow arrives. | |

Rumpole of the Bailey: Rumpole and Hilda are going through this in "Rumpole and the Married Lady" with their son having graduated college, gotten married, and emigrated to America. Hilda worries about the state of their marriage, even lamenting that without their son around then what did that make them? Rumpole has slumped into depression at the start, having not gone to work at chambers for some time and just sitting around in his dressing gown all day. It is a bitter divorce case that Rumpole has to deal with in court that manages to break them out of it, making them realize their own troubles are not so bad. | |

An Extremely Goofy Movie has Goofy suffering from this bad. He's so distracted by his son Max leaving for college that he ends up fired from his job, and has to go back to school to get a degree to get a better job... the same school Max is attending. Once there, Goofy promptly keeps trying to baby Max, losing focus on his studies, something he warned Max to avoid. | |

A lot of Pokémon: The Series fics depict Ash's mother Delia as undergoing this after her son leaves for his Pokémon journey. Til Death Do Us Part starts with Delia feeling depressed after her son Ash leaves on a Pokémon journey. She's spent the last ten years revolving around him, so having him absent in her life causes a hole. The Evolution of Delia Ketchum, Aide: Ash left a few years ago and Delia still doesn't know what to do with herself. She decides to go back to doing what she did before having her son: being a Pokémon Researcher assistant. Pokémon Reset Bloodlines: Delia (again) has a mild case of this, even though Ash has only been away for a few months. She seems to handle it well, all things considered, and she's very happy to have him and his female companions for a few months for a few reasons. |

Cindy from Hollow Places bears a great deal of shame for having to kick her eldest foster child, Austin, out of her house due to budgetary reasons. It's made clear throughout the novel that she truly misses him. | |
