[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 679838, member: 19522"] Hey Lil, you know what I was thinking as I read your post? He is[I] learning..[/I]....learning some valuable life lessons. Time will only tell what he takes away from all of this. But, he will understand that it sucks when people are not as reliable as he might have thought (friends). That is huge right there, because around 18-28, these kids think friends are everything and we are just the old fuddy-dud parents who sound like broken records. So, can you imagine the conversations son must be having with friend and girlfriend? I am betting he sounds like a chip off the old block about working and contributing to the household. If he is uttering words like this to his friends, he is hearing himself saying them and rethinking his life.....learning. AWESOME. It isn't about major or minor problems, it's about supporting one another. These are our kids, we want them to succeed at LIFE, this includes all sorts of stuff along the way. I am glad he is trying. The cards are actually switched on him, he is the [I]responsible one, [/I]having to give his friends "the talk". Imagine that? (((HUGS)) leafy [/QUOTE]
