Yep that will do
Back on subject I nearly disowned my 16 year old a few years ago , I never thought it would be possible to dislike your own kids but believe me it is
Anyway he’s a lot better since he left high school. Still testing though at times but I guess that’s the repercussions of not keeping it in my pants
It’s his Birthday tomorrow and I do love him and his older brother dearly
Won’t be unhappy when they both move out of home though ( perhaps a little sad )

Similar. Boys can be just as difficult, if not more. There were some anxious years* but fortunately he (and we!) came through and he’s evolved into a productive adult.Yep that will do

There seems to be a fork in the road of adolescence and you just have to hope that better choices are made. Drugs are such a terrifying lure, combined with peer pressure.

Touch wood we’ve been really lucky with our kids so far
The young one doesn’t touch anything, not even a drop of alcohol
The older one doesn’t mind a drink every now and again but prefers being fit and healthy
Not sure where either of them got these traits from
His mother and I were fiends when we were their age

My daughter and I went through a little less than a decade long rough patch due to drugs
It took a long long long time to rebuild the trust and even now that waivers every so often.
I never stopped loving her, but there were quite a few times that I didn’t like her

Went back to uni 3 years ago at the age of 35. Today I completed my final exam and will graduate with Distinction.

Congratulations!
Mature age students are a lot more focussed than they might have been had they gone on to higher education straight from school. Both my brother and I went into teaching, me after four years, him after about ten. Our mother got her HSC in her late 50s.
Congrats Todd! What's your degree?
also,

Straight from school did engineering but eventually my natural intelligence lost out to my lack of effort.
This time the effort very much won. Although it's amazing how motivational the threat of divorce is, if I was to put my wife through all this and then not passing
Bachelor of Science, majoring in math modelling and chemistry.
Hoping to end up in data analytics
Damnnn check out the big brains on Todd!
