I'll have to say he's responsible. I told him the other day that I would back him up in whatever he decided but the only thing I asked that he moved to missouri with us..we are going sometime in june and he turns 18 June 22nd. So he has to go with me as long as we go before then. Because he isn't moving out til he is 18 but he agreed he would stay in mo and give it a try.
What really upsets me is he has two years left of high school. He would of graduated next year but he was home schooled for a year and we didn't do the right program apparantely so his credits didn't transfer. But he's o.k. with that. I just don't see how he's going to go to high school plus work a full time job so he can make it. He really wants to go to college and I wish he would wait til he left for college to venture out. But I am trying to let go. I told him I loved him and I'd back him up but it hasn't been easy.
It's nice to hear all of your stories though. It's nice to hear other opinions and to know how you all handled it. I have to say I"m having a real hard time with this. My fear is that he will do what I did. I had him when i was 17 and I just want him to get his life in order before he gets married and starts a family. My biggest fear is he'll move in a girl forget about his dreams of college ect.ect. I probably sound pathetic don't I lol..but dang he's my first born and my baby. It's hard when they hit the age you can't control them anymore lol..but I promise I'll let go I know it's whats best for him. I learned from my mistakes and I know he has to learn from his..I just hope it isn't too much of a struggle for him.
