I certianly hope so! Don't get me wrong, I don't think he is doomed to failure. The next several months will be interesting, that's for sure. He graduated with all of his buddies...he is coming home and going to football/basketball games at the HS...with high schoolers. The thing that really concerns me is him messing around with these 14 and 15 yr old girls.

I seriously have a pet peeve of that. Kids need to move on from high school...hanging around high schoolers while you are an adult is no bueno. Unless of course it is Homecoming or an alumni game or something like that. I don't mind if it is for a purpose but jus to "hang" is not good.
My SS graduated with a loser who comes back to pick up his Freshman girlfriend. She is 15 and his is almost 19.

I don't like it either, but I understand it...
They want so much to be adults...I did anyway..and then find out how really hard that is...They remember the "good ole days" and want to go back to that..it won't be long before he tires of it...the young girls though..Yikes..that could be trouble!

I feel ya. I think having SD home the first year helped because she was able to transition into college. If she went right to a University and a dorm I think she would have been back home by the 2nd semester.
Now that she is in the middle of her second year she has had some problems. Grade wise and behavioral wise. However she is responsible for HER now. All those WANTS- wants to be a RA, wants to join the Navy, wants to become a nurse will not happen if she doesn't join the real world. In the real world there are CONSEQUENCES for your poor decisions. So now she has to pay them.
I hope your SS won't just sit home and milk money from his Mom and do nothing with himself. His Mom won't always be there to pick up his messes...he needs to get a job or go to CC or join the military and make something of himself.

Yep, I agree. SS goes to all the HS games he can. Not just homecoming (etc). He's def. NOT moving on.

I agree. But, honestly...I see him sitting at home for as long as he can...and partying when he can. I hope I'm wrong.
