@Kat-Yes, I guess it's a good thing when they don't filter much to keep you in the dark. I am a little surprised he keeps me on his friends list, kicking me off only once in the last year.
Last night had me wishing I had taken H up on the offer to send him to the military school up the coast.
Three weeks off for spring break, he walks (kinda) into the house @ 10p.m., in no condition to complete an assignment due today.
Many parenting classes later, I'm still not sure what to do with a kid accepted into college with a 4.0, now getting grades his last semester, that may keep him from graduating from high school. Nothing seems to get thru & there's really nothing left to take away.
"Teenagers are so smart and alive, vulnerable, so at-risk, so brave and terrifying. They can be so mean, and so tender. So profoundly loyal to their friends and even to their moms. They can blow your mind with their brilliance and insights and passion. And they can be so stupid." Anne Lamott
So, I'm left with that "ancient parenting dilemma: How to give your children the freedom to screw up while making sure they don't screw up too badly?"
@Gypsy>>>Teens and older speak differently to each other than to adults... True dat!! Oh, & it was one of his friends referring to me & the earthquake, prolly just the thought made him hit the delete quickly.
