[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 327642, member: 3444"] It is challenging. easy child is my youngest, but she is the most mature and responsible by far at age 10 1/2 than her brothers are at ages 15 and 13. There are things I'd love to let her do or have because she's ready for them (like a phone or her own computer), but because we didn't let the boys at this age, we don't dare (they've proven even at older ages they still aren't ready for free reign with a lot of things). I try to just tell myself that the difficult child's are on a different schedule than easy child, and they'll all get to where they need to be eventually. I'm fairly confident easy child will go the 4-year university route and likely will get scholarships, yet the difficult child's, despite their high intelligence, will no doubt have to go the community college route first and will probably take much longer to graduate than her. And they'll probably be the last to leave home because of their immaturity. It is what it is. You can't really speed it up any easier than you can speed up the hatching of an egg or the baking of a cake. They're done when they're done. [/QUOTE]
