Hi everyone! I'm a mom of 5 children but only 3 of them are still at home . My 2 girls live about 10 minutes from me in their own apartment. I live in the beautiful city of Olympia(that's our state capitol) I live in a overly crowded 2 bedroom with my 3 boys,ages 12,11 and 22. My 22 YO is a high functioning Aspergers afflicted man. He is very difficult to deal with but I love him very much and will help him throughout his whole life if he needs me to. I also have a gorgeous 4 YO grand-daughter who is the light of my life!!I have some worries or maybe not worries, just questions about my 12 YO so I'm going to post them elsewhere in this forum. Your advice or/and tips are welcomed.

Hello and Welcome!!!
I just replied to your question about your son in the other thread and then noticed your intro. Sounds like you have your hands full, but it also sounds like you have a beautiful family. I am looking forward to getting to know you better, and swaping advice. My daughter is 7-1/2 and I am so not looking forward to the teenage years. I couldn't believe all the drama that took place in second grade, I can only imagine what it will be like when she gets older. -------------------- |

Thanks to all. I've been looking for a good forum on parenting and it looks like I found one. Reading thru these posts ,the caring towards other forum members, that's what I was looking for. It looks as tho a member has passed on( Tamara) and the outpouring of emotions and caring is beautiful. Wow. Aren't mom's wonderful?!

Hi and welcome. I love Washington--I was out there a long time ago before I had kids--considered moving there. But couldn't leave my folks.
I am one of the few here with older children like yourself. My oldest is 17 and on the verge of leaving home to begin college in the fall. I also have a 14 yo son, and a 7 yo daughter. I live in NY, am married, and teach English to 7th and 8th graders. Looking forward to getting to know you better! Welcome. -------------------- Jeanne
