| 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.

| I moved out on my "own" (I lived in a dorm room) my first year of college 3 years ago and let me say, I hated it at first! I was miserable and missed home so badly. Eventually..it grew on me and I grew to love it. My second year, I moved into an apartment. My parents agreed to pay my rent, as long as it was the same as the dorms. I pay my other bills, tho. Living on your own definitely has it's ups, I DEFINITELY miss the home cooked meals and days when I didn't have to worry about bills..

| When they're little, you think they need you alot, but when they're older they need you even more and their problems are a lot more serious too. All you can do is teach them what you think they need to know and hope for the best. A kid is truly grown up when he admits that yeah mom, you were right all along. |

| We visited friends in Las Vegas and their 18 year old daughter got MARRIED in Feb! She is a freshman in college and just told them she was doing this. I asked the father, "How could you let her do it?" And he said, I tried to talk her out of it, and I couldn't. What could I do, tie her up? Sooooo, maybe just moving out isn't so bad! By the way I'll take those two teens, you can have my two.

I too fought with adam but I found myself sitting at the kitchen table (you know where all serious talks happen lol) anyway there we sat. I started crying and I told him..i'm not ready to give you up to the world yet but if it's what you really want you have my blessing..I just told him..i'm going to miss you and I love you and always know you can come back home without any i told you so's..i also told him..that I know life can get tough sometimes and don't think that if he had to come back home that it meant he failed. it just meant that he needed help and that at some time or another everyone needs help. I told him that I was proud of him and I knew that he could do anything he sat his mind to. I told him that i wish that he would wait til he was done with school but I understood why he wanted to. But gosh darn this is the hardest part in a mothers life..letting your own child enter the world. All of a sudden I see him as that lil newborn..as a toddler taking his first steps..but even though I'm not ready my heart still swells with pride. I've raised my boy to be a fine man so I'm thankful for that. *sob* I don't want my baby to go lol
