[quote=Anonymous]OP, agree with other posters that your son is going to struggle the second he gets to college without you there to micromanage him. You need to loosen up and let him adult a bit. Part of that means screwing up. My DS has been largely managing his own schedule since sophomore year. Once he was able to drive independently at night we had some negotiating around "curfew" because I was still waiting up for him, and we did not allow him to attend a coed sleepover after junior year prom. By the time he was a senior, though, it was basically "let me know if you will be home later than 1 or 2 or if you are staying out all night." If he planned to skip school he needed to let me know why. I gave him advice about things, and watched him look exhausted and terrible every now and then, but he figured it out with minimal life impact. Meanwhile, he has a buddy in college who has already slept through two huge exams. [/quote]
