[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to burst your bubble but he wasn't getting into any school he wanted with a GPA of 3.75. Sit down with him and tell him he gets a job, joins the military, or you sit down together and have him apply to a community college. [/quote]

Just stop.

There is nothing wrong with a 3.75 gpa. His mother is right to be proud of that.

For some reason he is not moving onto adulthood that is a different issue. While yes I think she should tell him job, military or out. [/quote]

New poster- honestly maybe OPs view of his grades/ achievements was part of the problem. Because previous poster was harsh but correct- he wasn’t going to Harvard or Yale on a 3.75 gpa. Maybe OP was telling him all year that’s where he belonged and needed to strive towards- and he knew that mom was off base. And now here he is, stuck, because he didn’t have the heart or the balls or whatever to tell mom he was applying to Virginia Tech and JMU, not Harvard and Yale. He refused to apply to college (moms choices of colleges for him!) because he knew he would be rejected and didn’t want to face that or have mom face that. Possibility?[/quote]

Mom or Dad should have helped him apply.  He would have done great at his state school.  He may not have known how to apply.  So that ship has sailed.  He can go to community college, military or get a job.[/quote]
