[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 602819, member: 3493"] A 3rd NY'er here. We go back September 9, after Rosh Hashana. Babyboy did set building for a local show but otherwise has done nothing. He refused to go to camp and isn't keeping up on his promise to study 5 SAT words a day. PC17 is depressed and we are putting him in counseling. He confessed to H that he drank once but didn't like it. We have notified the cops of the store where he got the liquor and hope they will have a consequence. He is working sometimes delivering for a local deli and is hanging out with his friends. He doesn't want to go back to his BOCES program but his dyslexia is really an obstacle to AP classes so I'm not sure what to do. He'll be a senior but I don't know what to do about college. He has to go to summer review because he failed the English Regents. difficult child is working at a local movie theater and, after taking a gap year, is going to college next month as a sophomore due to his AP credits. He is thinking of law school and has a political internship lined up for next summer. As he becomes an adult, much of his ODD is going away. He insisted on being treated as an adult even as a 4 year old, which was ok, but the converse, that he was allowed to treat adults as his peers, was not. Now that he's older, he can interact with adults in the way he's always wanted to. Oldest boy is almost 23 and is still struggling to find himself. I am so afraid he will never be self-supporting because he is so impulsive with his money. And, of course, one and only daughter is doing great. She's been playing out at various locations and even had a paid gig in the Hamptons. She's in her masters' program and will be student teaching in the spring. I'm nervous because she now says she doesn't want to teach, she wants to travel the country teaching people to play ukulele! Anyway, I am freaking out because babyboy hasn't begun his required book yet. As for easy child, half the books are about suicide (The Pact, The Things They Carried) and given his depression, I don't want him to read books like that. I have to call the school to get an alternate. I am enjoying the summer a bit because I hate the cold and there's no homework. [/QUOTE]
