My "baby" boy is 18.

[KitchenWitch]

At least in the Central time zone.

:cry:

:loveya:

Gods I miss him.

[sasquatch]

1. Where is he?

[KitchenWitch]

2. He lives in Minnesota

He tried a semester here in his sophomore year and it was better for him to be back in MN, he did not make any friends...he did not really try, but that is another story.

[sasquatch]

3. Probably the weather

19. I'm sorry he wasn't able to adjust. You are down in the OC

aren't you? My 15-yr-old daughter has lived here in a quiet Ventura County suburb all her life. She's also very introverted and has only a small group of friends. She out and out despises 99% of the kids at her school as fake, shallow, and mean. I'm a substitute teacher in the local district and I can't disagree with her. The SoCal suburbs can be brutal for teens.

At any rate, I hope your son is enjoying his special day and that you get to give him a belated birthday hug in person soon!

4. You were pregnant in eighth grade?

Boy, can I suck up or what? :D

[KitchenWitch]

5. 6th grade actually!

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Oops

Sorry. :blush:









Is that when... nah, I'd better not. :scared:

[mcctatas]

7. Now you have to do it!

chicken :P

[mcctatas]

8. Happy Birthday to your baby boy.

And remind him that he is lucky to have you for a mother :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

9. I did

We just had about the best phone conversation we have ever had.

We would have really good face to face talks once in awhile when he was here, but the phone thing has been difficult. He is painfully introverted.

10. awe--(of however you write that sound)

my daughter is at college and i asked her the other night "why is it that every time i call you or you call me you sound like you're bored or pissed off at having to talk to me?"

i get these flattened "hello.."

then i get a lot of one word answers and long pauses if i don't keep the conversation rolling.

of course, every once in awhile she cranks it up a few notches and talks as much as i do. we communicate better in person.

[KitchenWitch]

11. Most of our phone conversations are very stilted

tonight was a gift, it truly was.

[Aristus]

12. I'm 40. My mother is 68. And she still calls me her "baby".

:-)

[LibDemAlways]

18. I'm 56. My parents are 86 and my dad still feels the

need to check up on me. One night I was driving my teenager and her friends home from an all day rock festival at 9:30 when my cell phone rang. It was my dad wanting to know where I was and why I wasn't home. When I remind him that I get mail from AARP, he goes silent. Doesn't want to hear about it. To him I'll always be a little girl.

[swishyfeet]

21. I'm 40. My mother is 67. And she still calls me her "baby".

:crazy:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Awww. I'm sorry, Kitchy.

I know how you feel. I like having all my Midlets home with me.

Happy Birthday, son of KW!!!

[KitchenWitch]

20. Love the sigline!

:rofl:

[auntAgonist]

14. Happy birthday to your baby. I hope the day

doesn't bring too much sadness for you. It's hard when our kids live so far away. My son is a 6.5 hour drive from here. He'll never stop being my baby.

:hug:

15. Hey

Old enough for me now! ;)
:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

16. LOL

You might not like his maturity level! :P

[tigereye]

17. aww. that's nice!

I can't believe mine is almost 13.

[Shine]

22. Wow, congrats!

That's a big one, so here's a :hug: and some :loveya:


:hi: xo!

[no name no slogan]

23. Congrats, mamacita!

The drummer in my band's daughter just turned 18 a couple months ago, too. Raising a kid to that age is a huge accomplishment! I hope Mr KW takes you out for a nice dinner at a nice restaurant. Like Red Lobster. Or the Olive Garden.

This is the DU member formerly known as TheWhiteTrashGourmand.

24. Mine will be 32 soon

:cry: is right.
