[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 147905, member: 1835"] Irene, YES! I think you hit the nail on the head! Thanks. Although he doesn't yet have a job, he will have one soon. And, if he handles an actual job as well as he's handled the job-seeking process so far, and, trust me, he would rather NOT be doing this, we'll be satisfied! He certainly isn't a easy child by any definitiion, but, given who he is with the issues he has, we're trying to be realistic in our expectations. And, so far, he's basically doing what we've asked of him. I do remember being 18 and understand that life certainly doesn't revolve around parents, family, and home at that age. Then again, I didn't require the parenting my son has, and, yeah, I guess I do feel a bit resentful. That feeling lies dormant, usually, but after the third night in a row of him using home as a pit stop, it reared its head. I think your advice to let it go is probably my best course of action since there is really no point in sharing all the above with him. [/QUOTE]
