RE: [Neurosarcoidosis dirty clothes

[Guest guest]

OK I got

my son to put of load of his dirty clothes in the machine, let’s see if

he can remember to do the rest, or more then one load. I am fortunate in that

he is in the cooler basement so even when I go down there I can’t smell

his clothes I just see them all over his room.

those nasty clothes at least to the hamper.. one step at a time.. I can't pick

up my own clothes off the floor that's why I put them in the dirty clothes

basket, so why should I pick up his? Thanks for your post.. its made me

giggle.. Sounds like son may have a soon awakening... ???

Getting my son into college

> Hello All,

> This is so off topic from what is being discussed in group, but I wanted

to find out if

anyone else has gone through or is currently going through this. My son is a

senior in high

school. This kid is BRILLIANT but besides getting good grades, he is not doing

anything to

actually get into college. To get him to simply give me his choices of schools,

was like an

act of Congress. I give him tasks to complete with deadlines and he doesn't

follow

through. Now, I know teenagers can be flaky, so I don't give him too much instruction

at

once. But GOOD GRIEF this kid hasn't completed anything I have asked him to do.

I'm not

exaggerating, nothing! I am allowing this kid to seriously stress me out.

> When I graduated from high school, I got myself into college and found my

own

apartment off campus and got myself a job to pay for it all. I didn't depend on

my parents

to get anything done for me. Well, as the oldest of five children, my mother

had already

told me that if I wanted to get into school, I better do it by myself cuz they

had no money

for me for school and she had to deal with the rest of my siblings (one of whom

was in

drug rehab at the time).

> Anywhoooo...

>

> I'm just so angry right now because he missed a deadline to schedule all

the prospective

college's open house dates and put them on the calendar, so I went and did it.

Am I

enabling him by doing all the leg work when he doesn't? I don't know. He says

he wants to

go to college, but Geez...

> If I don't get a response about this, I'm thankful that I at least was

able to vent my

frustration. Cuz seriously, if I have to deal with his attitude for another

millisecond, Imma

have to pick up something blunt and rusty and do some damage.

Dear Naa,

Your son sounds like my older brother-He was out of high school for more than

three

years before he decided to go to colledge. It took him more than four months to

decide on

a colledge (He choose one close to home) And than when he got in, He flunked

out in the

first semester. Mabe some people are just chronic underachievers. I hope this

is not true

of your son and that he will wake up and understand that this could effect the

rest of his

life. We're Praying for you and for him, Good Luck.
