[QUOTE="Star*, post: 139210, member: 4964"] Hey Stands, You know 17 is such a tough age with kids. They are looking to be all independent but yet still come to us for 'things'. Dude is having tremendous success with the foster family and I think it's due to a couple things. 1. he feels like he's out on his own and away from me. ( I think I may still be toxic to his psyche) and 2. They go, do, participate in like 30 things a week. Dude loves it. He doesn't even mind being around little kids or the fosters. DF and I have a sedentary lifestyle and don't have a hyperactive battle plan. Apparently THIS is helpful to Dude. My thought would be a second job - maybe like at a theater where he could be the cool guy that could get his friends in movies? Maybe you just can ask him what he likes or would like to do and go from there. That is unless you want to start globe trotting and taking easy child to see the 10 wonders of the world? A second pt job would give him more money to PUT away for a hobbie - like maybe a cool car? Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
