Lifes Like That

Boy, you would think that parenting younger childern would be harder than parenting an 18 year old but I’m hear to tell you that it’s not.  A little over a week ago, my oldest son moved out.  The only reason for his leaving was because he turned 18 and was trying to make a point.  I have kept close tabs on him over the past week and I know he is OK but it doesn’t make things any easier.  Well, I got a phone call today from him that he has found a place to stay for $200 a month and I think that this is just super.  So, at least for now I know he will be eating properly and I don’t have to worry quite a much.  I’ll still worry mind you because that is who I am but not quite as much I hope.  So, don’t be fooled.  It doesn’t matter how old they are, parenting is still quite difficult at any age.
