[QUOTE="Sleepymom1, post: 642445, member: 18624"] Aaah, the dreaded question, "How is your son doing?" I hate that simple question sooo much!! There were some great responses here already. If my son is doing anything positive at the time, I will answer with that, i.e., "Oh, he's working part-time with my husband right now." If not, I will say something like, "He's trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life." Most people won't push for more information. My sister, who lives about 5 hours away, would often press me for more information. She would ask things like, "So what does he do all day??" My last response to that (when he had a phone), was, "Here, let me give you his number, so you can call or text him and ask. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you!" Funny, she never made that call..... :/ [/QUOTE]
