[QUOTE="Fran, post: 210633, member: 3"] Good morning Marguerite, sounds like busy times. I know weddings are a worry. Everyone wants them to go off without too much drama. The time with easy child is short but it's nice to have him home. He has clear ideas of what he wants to do next year despite our input. We did put our foot down (or I did) No working full time and school full time. It's a disaster waiting to happen. It's typical young person thinking. Over scheduling themselves until they realize that they are falling behind in their studies and are miserable, tired or get sick. He could go in two directions and he chosse the more difficult, rockier path. He coult go to school for 3 yrs with all expenses paid or he can work full time and go to school full time. He would rather the later. Strange kid. Hopefully we convinced him that moderation is a better choice. Medical insurance and housing being 2 big issues. So today is a small version of Thanksgiving with easy child. The pumpkin pie will go into the oven shortly and the cooking commences. The differences between difficult child and his typical peer group are much more obvious. easy child brought little trinket type gifts. Bought coffee for his mom at the mall and was grateful for new work shoes. Wouldn't even be on difficult child's radar. Conversations are like 2 different languages with difficult child being the odd man out. It's very heartbreaking to see him almost isolated behind a wall of not understanding our motivations or the subjects of our conversations. Hope today is a more fun day now that the serious talk is over. [/QUOTE]
