ALEXANDRA SHULMAN'S NOTEBOOK: What better way to deal with the empty-nest stage of life than to do as Gwyneth Paltrow has done, and move house?
Alexandra Shulman's main idea in the notebook piece is that the period after children leave home might be more enjoyable for some parents than many anticipate.
She uses the example of Gwyneth Paltrow, known for her wellness brand and focus on self-improvement, and suggests that the "empty nest" phase could be a chance for parents to rediscover themselves and their own passions, just as Paltrow has. Shulman implies this shift might be unforeseen for some parents, coming as a surprise rather than a source of sadness.
