[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 80973, member: 3626"] "It will now be up to him to get up each day for his GED classes (which start on his 17th BD), get ready, take his medications, take the dogs out, be ready for his ride, go to school, sometimes counseling, and come home and make sure he has picked up after himself (he is a slob), before I get home at whatever time. I know this sounds normal for most teenagers, but he is very immature, and very used to the 'homeschooling.'" Actually, this sounds like a quite a bit for a 17 YO, especially one who has never had to do all of this before, especially the concept of picking up after himself. I hope you have a lot of support in place for him whether that be checklists, planned phone calls or whatever. I also hope you are prepared for the mishaps, "forgets," etc. that are bound to occur. After he gets used to the routine, he may thrive but it is the getting used to the routine that is going to be hard. I hope you enjoy your new job and good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
