I have so many more qualms (no, let’s say different qualms) about S going off to college. I just read another thread this morning about a student who has to take a medical leave from his Ivy League school for video game addiction. We have never-ending problems in our house with video games, and the thought of S going away, totally unsupervised frightens me. But he knows that if he doesn’t keep up he will be coming home and attending the local CC and working.

I wish you good luck with both of yours. Your S sounds a bit like mine at that age, but as he gets older (not sure I would use the word “matures” lol) he seems to be waking up a bit… not that he doesn’t try my nerves every single day.

It’s a bit scary to think of having an “empty nest”, but I remind myself that I have done my job in raising them, and they will be our of my hands (except for tuition ) and we can move on to the next phase of our lives, whatever that may be.
