[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 415064, member: 1514"] This is one of the hardest things I deal with myself. The not getting sucked into the "what is he doing, why wont he do what I know he should do, why wont he follow my directions?" For the most part, I am convinced that if my kids just did exactly what I told them to do, they would be pretty darned successful in life. I have lived long enough to know what the pitfalls are and made all the mistakes so they should know that I have the experience to tell them the right things to do. Unfortunately, they choose to do things the hard way and not listen to me for the most part. I dont get it. Infuriates me! I know, this has been going on since time began...lol. But really, if he has a construction job fall into his lap, he should jump on it. That pays pretty well and while it is hot, dirty work, he isnt going to find anything else that pays what they will with his education right now. [/QUOTE]
