Sharon, that is sad for the lady of the 18 year old. I have encountered more than my share of young adults who expect their parents to raise and support them while sit around and play video games, do drugs, or hang out with their friends. I think she did the right thing by sending him sailing. He will mature a lot faster once he has to take care of himself. Things were so much simpler when they weren't teens and adults. lol
This boy is working for a landscape com. Once the outside work is finished this fall. He will need to find something else. I wonder if he has thought of that?
