[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you disappointed? What exactly is the issue? I have a 17 year old and this is pretty normal.[/quote] OP here. I don’t know that I’m disappointed. It’s just not what I want for him, I guess. I think most kids this age have friends or a girlfriend they want to see or want to have a party, or they care about particular clothes or sporting equipment and want presents or maybe a car. I appreciate the responses here, though! It makes me feel more normal for sure! [/quote] Well, most kids his age do not have girlfriends in 2026. So sigh of relief on that one. And if you are in DC, many don't even drive at 17, so no cars. :) But, I hear you. We have an image in our heads from our own past and from movies, and real life isn't like that for our kids. We worry. But happiness in your own world is not to be underestimated. I wish him his perfect 17th birthday![/quote]
