I am allergic to dogs. I like dogs more than cats. I have two daughters. My daughters like scary movies. My daughters are in 10th and 6th grade. I was a psychology major in college. I am an assistant to a psychiatrist. I like running. I don't eat dairy or gluten. I like horror movies. I have a daughter, she is currently in a relationship. I met with her boyfriend recently. I don't like the responsibilities of being an adult, such as paying bills and taxes. I wish my daughter didn't grow up as fast. I found it easier to take care of my children when they were 6 months year old. I didn't get much sleep when my kids were babies. My daughter is currently in high school, I did not let her date before. I feel apprehensive when my daughter leaves the house. I am slowly letting her be more independent. My daughter drives her car to school. I do not let her drive at night.
I am a decent painter. I like horror movies. I work for the government. I like naps. I have not seen the "Conjuring" movie. I have two sons. My sons are in 9th and 3rd grade. they are young and still not dating. I have a son that is in 9th grade. I fear when he will grow into an adult. I need advice on how to handle my children when they start dating. I wish my kids understood how much I cared about them. My oldest child wants his own car. I am willing to help my son buy a car, he is currently mowing lawns for money.
I was driving around the neighborhood and I saw a car being sold that might be suitable for your son. It is worth about $2,200 and it seems to be in good shape. I'll send you the number so you can inquire more about it, hopefully your son will be interested in buying it. Oh, that would be amazing, thank you! What kind of car was it? Hopefully something sensible and safe. :) It is a 2005 Ford Focus. The body is in pretty good shape with just a few patches of rust near the rear wheel wells. That's a pretty good deal, and certainly good enough for a teenager. He'll have his permit soon, but perhaps before then I could buy it and get some work done on it without telling him. He still needs to pay half, of course! Overall, for the price the owner took really good care of it. It gets about 35 mpg by highway and it has had only one owner who drove it modestly. I hope you call. I definitely will. Next step is getting over the fact that my kid is going to soon be driving by himself. How did you get over it when you let your daughter drive alone for the first time? I would let her out for short errands at first. I think I limited them to thirty minutes or less. I was a wreck and such a cliche. I kept gripping the phone just waiting for the police to call. I can only say that I am a little better now.   Did you ever follow her in your own car? I feel like I might do that, same as I did when my son first walked to school by himself. Of course. Sometimes I still do. I have to give her credit though. She seems to be a very safe driver and I have not caught her on her phone while driving yet. That has made it just a little bit easier to slowly cut the apron strings. Now when she moves out for the first time, that will be another story. Oh gosh, don't remind me! I mean, I'm looking forward to the freedom of not having to cater to other human beings every day, but I can't imagine what my life will be like when they're all grown up and the nest is empty! Suddenly I have these waves of guilt when I told my mom to quit being so dramatic when I went off to college for the first time. It is just too soon. One day they are in diapers and the next they are moving into their own apartment with friends. Okay, now I feel old. I felt exactly the same way. I had no capability of considering how adults felt, and I guess my kids can't imagine how I feel now either. My youngest doesn't mind spending time with me, but my oldest can't wait to be free, and that tears me up inside.
