H & D just went skiing Friday- I didn’t go, I only ski x-country & I hoped it would be sunny so I could work in the yard. ( It poured, but I worked in the yard anyway- that is about my speed, no large predators or fast moving objects)

D2 on the other hand would like to take up scuba diving, loves surfing ( & sharks) and is happiest when traveling through developing countries.

She was born this way & it is one reason why I am balking at helping her get a car, even though she needs one for work/internship.

How do other parents cope when their children live for an adrenaline rush?
It does seem to be getting a little better as she gets older- easier to take the 5year plan for her B.A. I would like her to be mature as possible before she signs up to do the Peace Corps in Honduras.
