[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 726086, member: 22547"] I think that it depends on the person. My son sometimes seems like intellectually he is much older than his 19 years but socially he is maybe 16 or 17. He has always been this way and I remember reading something at one time or another that basically said that typically kids stay on the same curve. If they tended to have lots of tantrums as toddlers you can expect some “tantrums” when they are older also. So I do keep it in the back of my mind that while he is 19 and will be 20 in April that I can’t expect him to be right on track with other kids his age around us because he never has been. He still has to work and pay his own way, we do let him live here and feed him for now but we don’t give him money for anything. It just helps when I am feeling a little jealous of other parents who’s kids are doing exactly what they should be at exactly the right time. [/QUOTE]
