[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 277818, member: 1514"] When my kids were your kids age I also wondered what was ahead. I had one I didnt worry about at all. I thought he would sail through life with no bumps. He was my easy kid. Didnt cause a bit of trouble...my oldest. Then there was my middle son who couldnt sit still if you hogtied him but was funny and bright and so much fun. He was cute as a bug's ear and everyone adored him. Except for being ADHD he was a dream child. Then we had Cory, although he was a handful, he was also my lil huggy bear. He was adorable but a devil in disguise. You just never knew what he was going to do next. Jamie set a goal for himself from about 8 years old that he wanted to be a Marine just like his Papa. He never waivered. That kept him on track to being pretty good and staying out of trouble. He went into the service right out of HS and the Marines gave him his career. He is doing great now. We couldnt ask for a better adult child. Cory took a more troubled path. He dropped out of HS, got in trouble with the law, and we had to push him out of our nest. However, he is growing up now and doing much better. Finally! Oddly enough it is our "easy child" that is having the hardest time. We have discovered that he is somewhere on the Aspie spectrum and he simply doesnt seem able to get a move on leaving our nest. Who would have thunk it all those years ago? [/QUOTE]
