I've raised a pretty good kid if I do say so myself: he's competent, kind, and hard working. I don't take all the credit, and of course at 20 he is still a work in progress, but he's a good kid.
On the plus side is that he is caring and generous. One the negative, it sometimes I feel like I get placed last in his priorities. He is working and saving money to go back to school, but I am subsidizing him somewhat. One thing I recently did was pay the tax & tags on his car. In return, I asked him to do the brakes on my car. The problem is that doing that falls behind working on his stuff and working on his grandpa's house. Well, I can't wait forever for my brakes to get done!
He isn't selfish - certainly less so than your average 20 year old, but I still get frustrated when working on my stuff (for which he gets paid more than he does by his grandpa) is lower priority than everything else! UGH!
I had a nice time yesterday - went out to lunch with my friend, hung out by the pool, then she came over and I fixed supper for everyone (family got home right at supper time). It was a nice day.
I'm afraid I'm feeling a bit like this today:
