[quote=Anonymous]I have an 18 y.o. and I was also considering asking Jeff for a Parents of Young Adults forum.

I've been on DCUM a long time, and it does feel weird when you realize you've outgrown a forum.  The latest is the "Teen and Tween" which look, the issues that come up with parenting a 12 y.o. is very different than an 18 y.o.  Prepuberty, puberty, and post-puberty are all jammed in one section.

I would love a Parents of Young Adults forum, which I think can handle all of:

~18 y.o. kids who are still at home and in high school,

kids who are out of the house and in college,

kids who are at home but in college,

kids who are at home and not in college (working), and

Kids who are out of the house working

Lots of different situations there, but it would be so much better if we had a forum for all those situations rather than in the Teens, or the College forum.

Really this age is about how to get them to fledge, which involves preparing them to fledge, fledging, watching them falter from afar and helping but not rescuing them.  The parenting style is completely different again, from tweens and young teens.[/quote]
