School has started again

[Faith4w]

Once again school has started and I am so busy I can't see straight. And everything I wanted to get done over the summer didn't get done. Well, most of it didn't get done. I guess that just means I got in some much needed relaxation time.

My oldest son is in high school this year, and that scares the crap out of me. It wasn't very long ago that I was in high school myself. It is such an important time of a person's life, and yet I look at him and think he is too young for all of this.

He is getting ready to drive next month. Drive! When the heck did we start letting them drive so young? Yet I was the same age as he is now when I drove fore the first time. And yet I was working and had to pay for driver's ed and insurance myself. My son has never had a job and doesn't seem interested in getting one at all. I worry that he isn't learning responsibility. And I worry that I am pushing too much responsiblity on him at too young an age. (sight)

And in the middle of this I look around at other parents and wonder how they can be going through all of these same things and not be ready to pull their hair out?

All of these worries are new for me. I didn't used to worry about them, because either I or their dad was there. Now they are getting out there on their own and leaving us behind.
