[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, although I am shocked, I am very proud of their maturity in making this decision.  We are in California and I knew that girlfriend was going to go to a school back east and assumed my son would as well.  [b]It is just September but they told DH and I together that this was the only way they could see being together later in life - if they broke up for college.  [/b]
Second, I am thrilled that DS is staying on the west coast but worried he might regret not applying to an Ivy just because the girlfriend "called" the east coast.  
Third, is all this maturity too good to be true?  They are both 17 and really smart, good kids - they have been together for over a year and are very close.  She practically lives at our house and my son spent the summer working for her father.

But all in all, I should be happy, right?  DS will apply to schools in California and date other girls once he gets to college.  Could it really be this easy and smooth?

Anyone else have a kid who decided that he and the girlfriend/boyfreind would break up in a year?  [/quote]

Thanks for the laugh OP. Kids are funny, especially when they try to sound mature. [/quote]
