[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think 18 is a magical age at which you get to do whatever you want, especially while still in HS and living at home.

Not sure what you do, OP, but I would be furious too.  And not just at lack of control - at the demonstrated lack of maturity and courtesy.[/quote]

This.  [b]People are acting like this is a college kid, [/b]instead of a high schooler who's obviously counting on Mom & Dad to go buy his school supplies so he'll be ready for Day One.  He's legally an adult, but he's still a kid in reality.[/quote]

Welk, he's the age of a college kid. The fact that his parents presumably decided to redshift him years ago doesn't make him any less of an adult.[/quote]

They didn't "red shirt" him!  They held off sending him to kindergarten because they were in a foreign country!

God, you people are nuts.  Way to turn a great thread into shit.  [/quote]

"Holding off" on sending a kid a to kindergarten -- regardless of the reason-- IS redshirting! And an 18-year-old who is a rising senior in high school --regardless of the reason -- is no less of an adult than an 18-year-old who is about to start college/just started college.[/quote]

Now you are boring me.  You win - he was redshirted.  Can you go away now?  [/quote]

You realize that multiple posters have mentioned redshirting, right? And that whether or not one wants to refer to OP's decision to hold off sending her son to kindergarten as "redshirting" isn't really the point? The point is that he is 18 &, therefore, a legal adult. [/quote]

eh, most of us remember turning 18 during our senior year of HS and becoming a "legal adult".  Suffice it to say, being 18 at home and in HS is not the same experience as being an 18 year old HS grad at college.  [/quote]
