[quote=Anonymous]I guess so. I used to feel like we were peers. After 15 years, I feel like I am raising a teenage/college age son in addition to my two tween/teen daughters, and have been for years.

Essentially he has confirmed my belief that the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree. I think people are usually, despite varying intellect and effort, like their families. He is exactly like his siblings, who are not successful financially like he is, or as smart, so it was distracting at first. Emotionally, I am dealing with someone who is just walking arrested development with an outsize intellect/education that allows him to succeed professionally.

I am the adult/mom/future thinker/family and friends-oriented one. It is exhausting and causes him to think of me as a micromanager/critical/you know the drill.

I feel like I am on a never ending group project from hell with a partner that doesn't do their part, trying to get an A by doing all the work and managing their BS. [/quote]
