[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648156, member: 1550"] Do you honestly think he'll go from doing nothing to being responsible in a college dorm? Most likely, like many who have been there/done that, he won't become magically responsible just because you're not there. He will probably party and not even go to classes. Many of our little darlings have done that. Few get through college.Yes, yes, normal teens can make the transition and are not particularly sorry to have to do it either, even if they have been spoiled at home. But your son is defiant and angry. That's different. Not saying it can't happen. ANYTHING can happen. But you should probably have a Plan B. And start to be ok with wasting your money on trying to get him an education and paying for his dorm. What they are when they are here is who they bring with them when they are not here. "You can't run away from yourself." [/QUOTE]
