[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 194831"] I do admire his determination and I'm very proud of the growth and maturity. It was worse than pulling teeth last year to even get him to school on time, so this is a huge, huge change for him. The thing is, I think he feels extra responsibility because of my health issues. He's too young to have that kind of pressure. That's why I don't ask him to do anything. He does things around the house on his own and I thank him and tell him I appreciate it, but I don't ask for anything else. He didn't get to sleep until around 1am. Alarm goes off at 5:30. At least tomorrow is his day off work. I did tell him tonight that he's going to have to prioritize (thanks klmno) and make sure he has time for his homework so he's not so stressed about getting it done. He missed 3 days last week being sick, so he had a lot of makeup work which didn't help any. I worry and I talk to him about how full his plate is, but I don't want to mother hen him. [/QUOTE]
