[QUOTE="slsh, post: 200017, member: 8"] MUSTANG!!!!! You didn't tell me you knew my kid!!! :rofl: My goodness, woman - you have it *down*, including the alarm (how did you know about that????). Too funny and too true, unfortunately. I'm gonna' print that out and hang it next to the phone, under my cues from the PE folks on how not to engage and right next to the adult mental health services and homeless shelters in Chicago. Bran - it's taken me years to realize that engaging thank you only gets me closer to the grave. ;) I have a really hard time with the AWOL stuff because I can't control it, thank you has got zilch street smarts but *thinks* he knows it all, and because I'm pretty sure he's heading into some rougher parts of town (which are pretty doggone rough). As irate as I am with staff, I have to say that while I would at least make an effort to stop him if he were living at home, bottom line is this kid is 6'3", 200 pounds, and nothing is going to stop him, not even one very ticked off mom. And you are so right - I've been telling thank you for years that if he would spend just an iota of all this energy he spends on making bad choices, on making halfway decent choice, he would conquer the world. I can only pray that someday our kids wake up and quit fighting everything so hard. [/QUOTE]
