Parenting Plus

I started to write an entry about being the parent of an adult child. Then I realized that I don't really have anything to write! It's sort of like being a parent for the first time--you do your best and pray a lot.

The parent is no longer required, in fact is not allowed, to fix anything that may be wrong in the adult child's life. This is ok, if it needs to be fixed, the adult child will get around to doing it.

You are still allowed to encourage and love your adult child. That's it! (and pay for college if possible, food when the ac's food account is running low, etc).

I like this phase!

Not quite adult daughter did very well on her SAT. We were sitting at IHOP having our Thursday morning breakfast -- which no one showed for except dd, dh, and me. All the others were out of town. Anyway, dh has a new Kindle (see Amazon if interested). Anyway, I said hey can't you get on the internet and check her scores -- they should have posted. Well he did and we went woohoo!

Work is going well -- one of my best (most interesting) students told me that she will be coming for tutoring over the summer. She hated coming at first, but now I think she sort of likes it. She always has good stories to tell about the comings and goings of people at the local high school!
