HappyG(rrr) Mar 2019 2:50pm, 4 Mar 2019 30,587 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) My 22 year old has grown up massively in last 6 months - having his own son has rather accelerated his maturity! Now got a job, a rented house, happily habiting with gf and his new baby boy. They're doing pretty well. Doesn't mean you don't still worry. Never got his degree, isn't married to the gf (not that the bit of paper matters but they've only been together less than 18 months), job is just Tesco (he will need more money and may want more fulfilling work too, one day), he lives in quite a remote area (though they do have family close by too, to help) etc. So plenty of worries, but mostly far less than 16-19 years!

Alice the Camel Mar 2019 4:03pm, 4 Mar 2019 3,724 posts	0 Alice the Camel I have 1. On Thursday I'll have 2. As Winniefree rightly states, the issues don't magically disappear when their teenage years do. Although so far, I've got off pretty lightly.

ChrisHB Mar 2019 6:26pm, 16 Mar 2019 17,877 posts	0 ChrisHB If our son (30) has tidied his room for the first time in his life and a young lady has been seen in his company (ditto), do we think these things are related?
