Holly: Mom, are you happy?
Val: basically, yes.
Holly: BASICALLY??
Val: Well, you know. Nothing's ever perfect...
Holly: Tsk. You should aim higher, Mom.
Val: OK, I'll aim for bliss. How many years before you're on your own?
Nope. Doesn’t work that way. Parenthood is forever. After she moves out Mom will spend sleepless nights hoping she’s okay and despairing that she never calls.

Probably not in our lifetime. This strip started in 1990 and the girls have only had one birthday.

I think Val’s putdown went all the way to Holly’s penthouse. See her mad brow in the last panel.

Life is more peaceful after the teenagers move out.
