[QUOTE="slsh, post: 271636, member: 8"] :faint: Fran - difficult child *initiated* a recreational activity and did the planning???? I am just :alien: with envy, LOL. Plus, the fact that he is socially aware enough to hold off on the costume for the first day - well, that's simply *huge*!!! I'm thinking that you've been worried since at least HS about his ability to present well (ok, I know that looks goofy, but you know what I mean). Sounds like you had a fabulous stroke of luck with- the job coach - hopefully she will be able to help difficult child find his niche. Glad easy child is doing well and is returning to school. I had to chuckle at the opposite children you have. I look at my kids regularly and wonder where on earth they came from - same parents, same home, *completely* different kinds of people growing up around here. North, South, East, and West. Don't think of it as blunt talk, think of it as giving your kids solid ground. We all need to have someone in our lives who tells it like it is. Sorry your mom is worrying you, but I have to admire her determined independence. Somehow, the mental image that I've formed of you over the years just doesn't match someone who wants life to slow down. ;) I suspect you're quite dynamic and would wilt if things were too calm. Thanks for the update. I've been wondering how life was going for you. [/QUOTE]
