   Yep, well you've got me there, you're dead right, it is about maturity, 
and the one thing he hasn't got (yet) is maturity, but he sure will grow up 
now, eh?

    To be fair to him, he has two jobs and is at college studying to be a 
PhysEd teacher. But you know, (and I never knew this), when they are at 
school, you get school reports, right? Well, heh, when they are at college, 
you *still* get a report! This is at age 19, so the parents still have some 
say, eh? So, obviously, not as adult as they think they are. Anyway, he's 
doing ok, but flunked quite a few classes from the look of it, and he says 
it's because of his 'jobs'. So, what does he do now? Kick the jobs and not 
earn money for the baby, and carry on with his education? Or kick the 
education and bust a gut working?

 Thankfully, that's his problem and not mine.

     Yeah, well I know exactly how you feel. I'm in exactly the same 
position now after losing my wife, my daughter, and my son. After 25 years 
of always having someone around me, I now have no-one and living in a 
three-bed (suddenly very roomy) house. It is *the* most *weirdest* feeling.
