The expression "empty nest" is used to describe the feeling of discomfort and sadness that some parents feel when their children leave home. Several researches states that this sensation is more common in mothers than in fathers, with only about 25% of fathers feeling sad when their children leave. This percentage is much higher in relation to mothers, reaching around 80%.
