Errrrr no i'll pass thank you ;) Got enough trouble with an 11 year :rolleyes: |
Speaking of teens. I've not told anyone but my son will be 18 this summer and he wants to get his own place *sob* I don't think he's ready he's not out of school yet plus he has college. I will admit and agree he works and he works hard. He pays all of his bills plus he always makes sure he has gas money and never asks me for money. But thats a far cry from living on your own. I have threatened to take his car. i've cried. i've begged. Now I've somewhat resigned. I don't want him to move out period. But I really don't want him to move out with us not on good terms. So what do you do..this is the hardest thing I"ve ever had to endure. How do you let your baby go when he's still just that.. Sorry just had to let it out.. |
My son is 17 so I'm not far behind you. The summer he was ten, his dad met a woman who he later married and Bryan really liked her kids and being part of a family so he stayed there all the time. I was lucky if I got him one day a week. I didn't want to force him to go with me if he didn't want to as it wouldn't have been very pleasant for either of us. Now he never goes to his dad's at all. After the novelty wore off he decided he'd rather be with me. I really missed him at first. It was like having a kid away at college and he was only 10. My point is this. You ought to feel proud because you have raised a kid that can take care of himself and that should be a parent's goal. Let him do this. Experience is the greatest teacher and now is a good time to learn these lessons. If it doesn't work out he can always come back home but only if he doesn't feel like he's going to hear, "I told you so". I know you feel sad but you'll get used to it and he'll probably appreciate you all the more if you support him. |
Well I would take them but with having the grandchildren here once in a while I think that will do me for a bit..... :D |
Heck No No way...I have a 9yr old daughter, mason who is 1yr old (Yorkie) and thats enough!!!! :aimeeyork |
sure ill take um, as long as they dont mind traveling in a motorhome....... We dont stay in one place very long, maybe around 3 weeks. But if its ok with them, Sure send um to me. Ill have my yorkie Penny babysit them..LOLOL :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa |
dont worry Quote:
hey dont worry ( they will eventually want somthing and come home lol ) just kidding but somtimes i wish my 6 year old was 18 so he could move out . lol. |
i agree Quote:
and i also agree with the letting school out early. lol |
@Tashasmom i was like that at his age. But when I think back I wasn't really ready for that big reponsiblity of living on my own totally depending on myself. (own Apartment) The good thing was even though I went to college in the same town that I was from, I stayed on campus in the dorm's. This gave me the feeling of indepedance. My Mom still didn't like it much but it ws a compromise because you are still semi- on your own. This is my personal opinion and I don't know you you that well but I think just about everyone should have that experience. It's like having a safty net of independance form you parents. JMO... ;) |

I was 18 when I moved out of the house on my own...I have a wonderful relationship with both my parents and although my mom and dad didn't want me to move they knew it was a learning opportunity for me as well as a chance to start being an adult. Sounds to me as if he deserves a chance to see what it's all about, at some point in your life you wanted independence from your parents as well. From what your saying he'll do fine and if you don't threaten him with punishment for growing up then you'll both have a great relationship that lasts past the teens and into his adulthood. |
Tashasmom, mine, too! OMG, Tashasmom, my son will be 18 in April and he's saying the same thing! Is it some sort of fad or is there a TV show promoting this? He's changed so much in the past 6 months I feel like an alien kidnapped my real son and did the ole switcharoo! Here's how I'm handling it: First off, calmly. I told him that if it's something he's thought out completely and felt he needed to do, he'd be 18 and I really couldn't stop him, legally. LOL, THEN, I asked him to let me know when he was going to do this so I could get his car title transferred to him and then he could get his own insurance. He said, HUH?! I thought you are paying my insurance! I said, yes, as long as you're here but if you take the car elsewhere then it needs to go in your name and you have to assume all responsibility for it. He asked me how much his car insurance costs and when I told him, he looked really upset, LOL. I haven't heard a word about him moving out since we had this discussion. He must have added up what an apartment, utilities and car insurance would cost and it hit him like a ton of bricks. He's been a lot more humble lately, too! My son's going to attend a big university about 800 miles from home and I'm starting to let go a bit. I've realized that in just five months I won't be around to check on him and help him with everything so he needs me to help him make the transition now. I'm not harping about curfews or anything anymore and I'm treating him like another adult. This is a tough time, isn't it? Julie |
