My older son is 21, but he has major learning difficulties. I have kind of become resigned to the fact that he might be living with us for a very long time yet. He has never had a job and get SSI. He is only about 15 in maturity level.
My younger son is 19 I hope he will eventually go back he is so bright it is a shame to waste his intelligence on working in the seafood department.
I keep pushing my younger son to just try one CLEP, he is great at test and I feel if he just trys one he will like the idea. I have tried everything including telling him if he doesn't take one by the end of July he will have to pay rent and car insurance. He is still resisting.
I am just frustrated with them both right now. If my husband doesn't find a job before his severance runs out everyone in this family is in for a rude awakening.
