[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 661575, member: 17269"] last year, when Difficult Child was couch hopping and sleeping rough and working as a bike messenger and as a dishwasher, and I was horrified, my SO pointed out that if he were doing THE EXACT SAME THING in Europe and calling it a gap year I would be very proud. Good point. And valid. We didn't call our parents because there weren't cell phones, so we had to work stuff out on our own. When I was 17 I was an au pair in France...my parents got three letters from me, on trifold blue paper. Other than that, they had no idea what I was up to (and it wasn't all good, believe me). It does help sometimes to remember these things. Too much contact is too much contact. Echo [/QUOTE]
