[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a freshman boy with ADHD, so I really resonate with the post, but I keep looking out to the future and think, I have to get this kid on a good path, or he is going to be like one of the adult kids I read about on here, who mooch off of their enabling parents throughout their twenties. I will keep nagging and pushing them at least until he leaves for college, and he knows that while we intend to 100% suppport the cost of at least his undergrad, the buck stops there. I don't know how else to motivate him other than to set the expectation that he will not be able to live with us or expect any financial assistance after school. [/quote] I was one of the previous freshman kid posters. I think this is what’s so hard is that you know that the time we have of influence is diminishing and there is so much needs still! And they’re just really difficult because of hormones and ADHD etc. etc. it’s such a struggle.[/quote]
