BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan was caught crying after seeing a school bus unload teenagers, triggering memories of her children being home for the holidays. Her husband Kenny found her reaction 'weird' and emphasized the importance of children leaving home with excitement.
Gabby Logan was called 'weird' by her husband Kenny after she shared an emotional moment that brought her to tears. The BBC Sport presenter had previously become emotional on her podcast while talking about experiencing an ' empty nest ' as her 19-year-old daughter Lois went off to university. With her son Reuben, also 19 and a professional rugby player for Northampton Saints, often away from home, Gabby recently found herself tearing up again when driving past a school.
During a festive edition of her Mid Point podcast, which featured her family, she recounted: 'I was driving up the area we live in and there's a grammar school near us and they obviously finished with a half day and the bus unloaded and all these boys with their black puffer jackets all got off, about 14, 15, and I found myself filling up a bit.' Kenny replied: 'That's weird. You were driving along and a whole lot of boys got off a bus and you started crying.' He said it's important for children to be 'able to fly' and leave home with excitement rather than feeling their absence will cause their parents to miss them too much. Gabby clarified that her tears were due to memories of Lois and Reuben being home from school for the holidays. She continued: 'I was remembering you guys being at school, having the end of term feeling and that lovely feeling when you're a teenager and you finish school and having you to ourselves for a few weeks and not having the routine of school. When you're a parent and you have kids at school you are then in a routine that you did necessarily choose. 'You are in a routine that the state has decided they want you to be in. Christmas in particular, the kids are absolutely shattered and you have time to smother them. And I kind of took myself back to that perio
