[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 34403, member: 2459"] I'm in the process of trying to find something for difficult child. At 17, there's not a lot of programs/activities that he can sign up for. He did the Boys/Girls club for awhile a few years ago but was kicked out. I've thought about asking if he could go back since it's been awhile but I'm not sure it would go any better especially since he would be one of the oldest (if not the oldest) kid there. He will be going to summer school but that's only a few hours a day for about a month. difficult child at home, all day, by himself.....not so good. He's not supposed to go anywhere when we're not home which leaves him very bored, I know. His impulsivity and decision making skills however, leave him wiiide open to getting in trouble or hurt running around on his own. But when he's at home all day, he tends to "clean" and "rearrange" the house, which can and does result in husband and I losing belongings. [img]:surprise:[/img] I'm going to start looking around for any jobs I think he could do (and would do). Hopefully something comes up. But what do you do with a 17 year old with the emotional level of a younger child??? Aaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhh [/QUOTE]
