[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 750547, member: 15032"] It sounds like your son is VERY smart. But of course that doesn't mean there can't be issues too. I do not think it is mentally healthy for your son to sleep that late every day nor stay up so late every night that he needs to. This is so hard to get them to want the right things and a path that propels them into adulthood. I really think that you and hubby need to set some clear rules on what you expect from him. He needs to be actively seeking employment which is a very important first step to independence. If we make things too good for them at home then they don't want to leave! My son is also a loner because he is very shy and we just moved to this state a year ago. He currently has a girlfriend he sees once per week and they text and that seems fine to him socially but we want so much more for him. She is a single mom and lives with her father and my son does not want anything to do with her child and knows that this relationship is not long term but he is comfortable for now so we leave it alone. He is attending school forty hours per week and working about 15 hours so I am trying to keep my opinions to myself about his personal life. I am on the Alabama coast and you say you are deep south. Are you as deep as me? LOL [/QUOTE]
