Recently Brooke Shields mirrored many parents' feelings as she discussed the emotional upheaval to say goodbye to her daughter Rowan as she headed off for college again.

In a video posted to Shields' social media accounts, she cried and talked about how rough it is to send off her daughter.

She said she thought it would be easier the second time as Rowan began college at Wake Forest University last year and had been gone during the summer, but not so.

Each time is hard to say goodbye to your children, even if it's just to college and you've already been through it before.

The full video is below.

The video resonated with other parents.

On Shields' Instagram, other celebrity parents offered words of advice and commiseration.

Over on Twitter, journalist Yashar Ali began a conversation about the video, reflecting on his friends with college-age kids.

More parents commented on how seen they felt in the raw honesty of Shields' video, finding beauty in the shared experience.

Other parents contributed that, well, it's not just college.

Pre-school drop-off can be heartwrenching as well.

Some confessed to pre-crying for the separation as early as the womb.

Some parents noted the particular ache of dropping children off for the military, which only allowed snail mail for their children for the first few months.


And then some of the kids who were once dropped off at college confessed.

They cried, too.

Shields' video helped many parents come together to reflect on a hard and bittersweet moment of parenting.

As parents drop off their kids for the firsto—or second or third or fourth—time at college in the coming weeks, Shields' sentiments will ring true to more and more parents.

Celebrities—sometimes they're just like us!

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
