[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 147922, member: 1835"] Fran, your reply makes perfect sense. The problem is that, when I do ask for his time, i.e., a family dinner, as long as he knows in advance, he is perfectly agreable. That is, until something else better comes up, which it usually does, and at the last minute. When that happens, I've found that it's easier to let him go do his thing rather than deal with his always very-obvious annoyance that he made the agreement to start with. I can see that this is my own fault. Yet, as Irene pointed out, we've missed out on some special times over the past few years because of our son's choices, and there's a certain degree of my wanting to "make up" for some of them, and it simply may be too late at 18 1/2.
