    AS you guys know I’ve often posted about my younger son. He is very dear to me but is still in the awkward process of becoming independent. Today as he was getting ready for work he couldn’t find his work key and had to admit to management he has probably lost it. While this will be a hard lesson ( I don’t know if there will be any disciplinary action) I shake my head in frustration as I have tried repeatedly to get him to organize himself the night before and when arriving home have a designatd spot for his wallet, keys, cell phone etc. so he will just have to grab and go the next time he heads out the door. But does he follow that? Nooo… I guess it is just too simple. Sorry guys, I just needed to vent. It is Monday after all.

    Well that’s not the worst thing in the world. Some people are better organized than others. My wife is exquisitely organized in her state pf perpetual disorganization.

    True, it isn’t the end of the world by a long shot. I’m just venting because I’m a super organized type and as a frustrated mother can get real anal with the kids when they aren’t organized. I really lose my cool when they beak off at me like it is my fault they can’t find whatever.

    MarySue, I can relate… my boys are a LOT younger than yours, but we face similar issues. History test tomorrow? Did you bring your books home to study? No? That’s just great!

    Thanks for your support Zina. It takes another mom raising boys to understand. With all my boys when they have been in the 17-20 age group I have found it is a case of that they want adult priveledges but not the responsibility that goes along with it. IE: they want money but don’t want to work to earn it. LOL! It sure takes a long time to drill it into their thick skulls that it doesn’t work that way. Bring on the empty nest! Some moms dread the empty nest but I’ve been active parenting for close to 30 years and am ready for some FREEEEDOOMMM!!

    As for the disorganization, I had to “train” my hubby when we were first married as he was the same way first thing in the morning he’d be panicking where were his keys, wallet, bus pass etc. He caught on quickly and had no issues with my suggestion of a designated spot for wallet etc. Men! OK, NOw we wait for Kiowa’s rebuttal for this one. 🙂
