My youngest D is 17 and has one more year of High School. Like you, I am choosing to wait until she is finished. Could she handle it? Sure. Would it be a struggle? Yes and no. On the one hand she has told me she wants to to find someone etc. On the other hand bringing someone else into my home dynamic wouldn't be the best idea IMO. I probably should add though that my D has gone into crisis more than once and while she's doing well now, I'm good with things the way they are.
I agree that when you are ready, it will still feel awkward and be hard. But hey, all the best things in life are touch at times. Remember childbirth?
Some of us have both the temperment and the habit of putting everybody before ourselves. Not a good thing and one I have worked hard to diminish.
Here's to a fabulous game for your son and and easy night for you.
