Is it like this for you?

Thanks Ladies--
It helps to know I am not alone.
I know there isn't much I can do. I have to let him do what he will but he
has to know that his actions have reprocutions (sp)
I think scrapping it is a good idea...................
17 things I wish I knew at your age

And I am off to shop!!!!
I am going to make my husband pay for having
such a stupid, selfish, immature ex-wife!!
Thanks again

I hope the shopping is therapeutic. If the 17 year old has a health condition that will require him to have medical insurance, I would encourage him to start looking for jobs now, and that he be watching for jobs that have medical insurance ... once he realizes how few jobs there are out there that offer medical insurance to starter employees, maybe that will be the kick to make him realize that school isn't so bad after all.

He could always go for general courses for a year if his concern is not knowing what he wants to do ...

I think your layout idea sounds absolutely perfect. I should do something like that myself, even though my kids aren't that age yet. There are so many "I wish I'd" done statements that float around in my head. I don't regret my children at all ... but I really regret some career stuff that I did early on.

HUGS ... this too shall pass!
