<p>Very happy for you and your son, OHMom!</p>
<p>"Update on S - his appeal was accepted (!!) " OHMom2 . . . yeah! So happy 4 you.</p>
<p>BINGO points, OHMom!</p>
<p>Do I get BINGO points for having a kid who is staying up till 4:00 am and sleeping till 3:00 pm every day?</p>
<p>Very happy for OHMom & S! </p>
<p>I am not the Bingo Boss but I say you win and we start a new game for 2nd semester!
(Actually-if that is the way you get points, I might not want to play…)</p>
<p>No WAY PN – I think we’re probably all in that position. Mine has been up at 1 pm because dad has woken her up!</p>
<p>Congrats to your son, OHMom. You must be relieved!</p>
<p>D is home for another week, but Monday everyone else starts rocking and rolling again. Monday morning we plan to visit the DMV and finally get that drivers license.</p>
<p>"Do I get BINGO points for having a kid who is staying up till 4:00 am and sleeping till 3:00 pm every day? "</p>
<p>I need twice that. I have two. I think they had been going to bed at 7 or 8 AM.</p>
<p>Crossing my fingers on that drivers license IJustDrive!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure academic trouble wasn’t on the bingo points list originally…the General Mom stories would get my vote for bingo winner, if the actual mom was in our group :)</p>
<p>OHMom, glad to hear the good news – and the solid plans for next semester.</p>
<p>So glad to hear the good news OHMom! DS missed his second dentist appointment today due to a long night playing a videogame. Tree is still up but I will not give him the keys to the car to drive down until it is put away. </p>
<p>so glad to have him home, but I am glad to get his my house back Sunday.</p>
<p>OHMom, I am so happy for your S and it sounds like the school is doing what they can to support him. Hooray!! You score mighty Bingo points, in my opinion!</p>
<p>Congrats OHMom!
Good luck on the license IJustDrive. </p>
<p>I’m with texaspg’s kids. Bedtime 8 AM wake up around 4PM or 5PM. Today I woke up at 9PM.</p>
<p>S shared his first semester grades. The class that scared him the most due to a low mid term grade was turned around by a very good final grade, so he pulled through very nicely with a lot of focus. Overall, for the whole semester in all classes, he did decently, but more importantly, set himself up even better for future semesters because he gained a lot of new study skills and confidence, so I am counting the semester a success as the trend from the first month to now is very positive.</p>
<p>Bingo points to OHMom for supporting her S behind the scenes as he dealt with his situation.</p>
<p>Woot OHMom!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your advice on summer employment. It sounds as if DD will be fine with another summer of non-career oriented work.</p>
<p>Also, my regular sleep cycle is 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Love it!!</p>
<p>OHMom - I’m so relieved for you! I couldn’t believe they’d actually kick someone out after 1 semester, and I’m glad he has a plan in place for support. </p>
<p>Put me in the club of the kid going to sleep around 3am. Glad I was reading about it here because I was just contemplating if I do anything about it or not. I certainly can’t control when he goes to sleep at school, but I do find it irritating regardless. </p>
<p>Must be nice to be a kid on break sleeping all hours, up with friends half the night, no stress, no responsibility…</p>
<p>Definitely Bingo points OhMom (and I’d vote for you being the winner).</p>
<p>I’m content being the loser with my '16 son. He’s been a dream to have back home and is doing well in college. It’s incredibly refreshing and I kind of wish he didn’t have to go back except I’m excited for where life might take him (and he shares a bit weekly, so I do get to know what’s going on).</p>
<p>My college and high school '14 sons fit right along with the majority (sleeping-wise, distance ‘in the house’ wise, laziness-wise, etc), so I can empathize.</p>
<p>It also goes to show it’s not parenting that makes them one way or the other. There’s definitely a genetic component.</p>
<p>S’16, hubby and I had a blast playing Boggle last night while C’14 and his fiancee were glued to their video games turning down every offer to play (anything), watch TV (though they did come in when we watched the latest Big Bang Theory), watch a movie, or chat and catch up. They are leaving today at 10am and are still in bed as I type. HS’14 spent the evening on Facebook and is mightily upset that we’re requiring him to come to a nice dinner today with us instead of allowing him to go to his girlfriend’s grandfather’s birthday party. (I’m sure he REALLY wants to see his girlfriend’s grandfather… yeah, that’s it.) The sad part is middle and youngest are good friends - just not enough of good friends for him to want to celebrate with us (this dinner was given to us as a celebration with middle son + family).</p>
<p>Oh well. We do, at least, get one more week with middle son, and we’re happy to wish oldest well as he leaves today. ;)</p>
<p>I get bingo points for waking D2 up everyday by 10am.</p>
<p>And the first person to get on the boards in BINGO, 2nd Semester Edition is oldfort!!! BINGO point for getting her D up at a reasonable hour.</p>
<p>You mean we don’t take them away for cruelty to kids? :D</p>
<p>No way, I’m on oldfort’s and PN’s side. Not as disciplined as oldfort (naturally) but D normally appears between 10 and 11am by herself. If not, I wake her up before noon.</p>
