[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 724432, member: 22547"] So yesterday was my sons orientation for community college, it was at 9am and by 7:30 am when he had not been out of his room yet I was sure he wasn’t going. Well he emerged around 7:45 and said that yes he was going. Now it is a 45 min drive from our house and the parking situation there is crazy so I was getting really anxious and of course he was just taking his time. At one point he made the remark that he thought I was going with him. We had discussed that option when we weren’t sure if there was paperwork I would need to sign but we found out there was not. I figured he wanted me to go so he could blame me when he was late. Anyway, after trying to badger him and rush him along he turned to me and said “mom what have you got to lose if I am late?” (Which he was by 10min or so) He is paying for college himself so it is not our money on the line, and just because the mere thought of being late makes me break out in hives doesn’t mean he feels the same way. Sometimes he says things that really make me think. Trying to hang on to him and keep track of his every move is definitely proving to be more harmful than helpful and I’m not sure when but somewhere along the lines I have lost the faith I use to have that very thing will be fine. I need to find it again [/QUOTE]
