three boys in high school at the same time. I will start praying for you now! That means you will have 3 in college at the same time. Are you saving money for that NOW? My friend said her daughter's expenses at a state university will be around $1,000 a month. Just think, I get to double that figure, and you will have to triple it!
As to the attitude problem, nip it in the bud now. I wish I been stricter on mine when they were younger. Try disciplining a 6 ft., 2 inch, 175 lb. teenage boy and you get the picture of how difficult it can be.
No wonder I have stomach problems. I worry about them driving, riding with other kids I don't know, girlfriends, drug/alcohol use, the SAT, college visits and applications, their future after high school, AP classes, senior school project, essays, research papers, curfews, cell phone use, money management, part-time jobs, etc.
My oldest wants to apply to a university graphic arts program that requires an art portfolio for entrance, on top of the application and 3 essays. Of course, I forgot to mention high school graduation and my parents' 50th wedding anniversary shortly afterwards. Someone just shoot me!
Then, just think, next year the process will start all over again with my other son. Barbara, just enjoy those boys while they're little----and the more you keep them busy with sports and other activities, the less they will get into trouble! (Actually, mine are very good kids; it's just dealing with all these issues that is a pain.)
