[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you redshirt, just remember that you will have a year of parenting an adult in the future.

So many of my friends who redshirted their boys had huge struggles once they reached 18 and still had another year of HS left.

Lots of "you can't make me, I'm 18" and fighting.  [/quote]

And if you don’t redshirt a late August birthday, you’ll most likely be dropping off a 17 year old, non-adult to college, since many colleges start mid-August. There are downsides to that as well. [/quote]

Let's see... they'll be 17 for maybe 2 weeks of the school year starting college vs an entire year of trying to parent an adult. That's a no-brainer. [/quote]

I get that you will definitely struggle with this aspect of parenting, but most people parenting high school seniors do not magically start struggling when the child turns 18. Most kids turn 18 sometime during their senior year. It’s just not a big issue outside of your head. [/quote]
