[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 557002, member: 1514"] This sorta made me laugh. My middle son went into the Marines when he was 18 and when he came home for a visit at one point during that first year he just sat there and looked at us and said "I dont know why I was in such a hurry to grow up. Its not all its cracked up to be. Being a kid is a whole lot easier!" We laughed like hell at him. He also shook his head a bit sadly as he said he knew he would never be coming home again because that time had passed. He was right. In Feb it will be 10 years ago he left home. Lots of stuff has gone on in his life. Boys do need to grow up and be their own man. Being a perpetual teen just doesnt help them. It is especially hard if they have a father figure in the home because they start to fight over who is man of the house. Oh heck, you cannot have two roosters on one yard! You can help him figure out what to do but he needs to get motivated to do something. If girlfriend is only 16 and her parents are strict then the military sounds wonderful. She can write him, he can come home now and then, they can talk on the phone. Perfect! Im a big believer in the military. It gave my middle son his great career. He would have never had a chance without it. [/QUOTE]
