I actually have 3 sons. My 20 year old is the LCPL in the USMC. He graduated from high school with a 4.33 GPA and enough AP credits to be a sophomore in college. He served 60 days in Kuwait that commenced on his 20th birthday. Currently, he has earned a CA real estate license and is pursuing a degree in astrophysics. Another round of sun and sand is likely in the fall. #1 son is 23. He's a walking medical miracle after 4 open heart surgeries, artificial mitral and aortic valves, a band around the tricuspid valve and a pacemaker...all installed by age 17. He's pursuing a degree in geology. #3 son is 16. He and two friends cut their first "punk" CD last year. He got a real education in the discipline of laying down tracks in a recording studio. As the drummer, he had to go first and it took 3 weeks to complete. #3 son is not academically inclined. We're pressing him to get off his backside and finish a GED. It is amazing how 3 kids can be so different.

What a great job you've done with these boys!

I have a 16 yr old daughter who is playing punk guitar -g-
{beginner}My 15 yr old son is getting his guitar soon. What is the name of his group Myr? Do they play in clubs etc? My daughter goes often to concerts, mostly local. I've even gone to two with her and my son -g- Dad accompanies them to like Ozzfest and other metal fests.

He can do homeschooling to finish. We belong to a school that does satellite and the kids can graduate with the regular students.

Kids do need to find themselves.

Bump. sounds like a nice family.

#3 will find his niche.
