penni, I once turned 18. Didn't live exactually how everyone thought I should, did better. Made some mistakes, some bad mistakes but lived through them. Probably same as you. CW is a an now and can eat what he wants. Time is a great teacher and he will learn about rich food or too much booze. No penalty from humanity is required. Life is like a part electric fence, touch here, ok, touch here, 6^&^&76&^786. You grew up that way as have millions and most did ok. CW doesn't have any tendencies toward cannibalism ala Dahmer? No? So he will do ok.

He hasn't made you a grandmother yet, has he ? So what's a little cake on the fist ? Even if it is "made from scratch" cake on the fist. How much rent will you be charging your "man" boarder, and will you require both a security and a cleaning deposit ? So now there is a list of things for your young man needs to do, like 1) Register for the draft 2) Register to vote 3) Order his own copies of Pubs 1 (Your Rights as a Taxpayer), Pub 17 (Your Federal Income Tax), Pub 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Info), Pub 590 (Individual Retirement Arrangements) and Pub 910 (Guide to Free Tax Services) 4) Contact an Insurance Agent to discuss the merits of Whole Life versus Term Insurance 5) Learn where the nearest Notary Public is located and 6) Meet with and start developing a good relationship with good lawyer, family law would be fine for starters.

Happy Belated Birthday to CW. Yesterday was my wife's birthday too. Though she is a few years south of 18. My mother told me once that my getting older didn't upset her until I turned 30. I guess that was because, according to the mantra of her generation, she couldn't trust me any more. Here's hoping everyone here has a safe and happy holiday and a prosperous New Year.

Penni, it's a little confusing as to when the denial of cake-us occurred, at age one or eighteen. I think it has to be eighteen, because if he was putting his fist in it at age one, that's all they can do and I don't think there'd be much alarm. "I hereby vow that if tonight he wants to eat his cake for dinner, I'll let him." Another confusor. If the cake's already been fisticuffed, who wants to eat it now. It's cootyied. And, he gets two birthdays? I'm lost again. But anyway. But. I have a nasty comment. [Please remember I have steroids in my history, and stuff like Congress or kitten-dumpers piss me off anyway.] I'm glad that sentence of "coming to your senses" was in there; that one above. It's your life-preserver; you Penni The Magnificent. I have a bunch of bad words, and things like "You're lucky there was a cake to punch" to say, but it wouldn't be very nice, and especially since you repented, and just drawing attention to the positive, and the lesson learned, is the adult thing to do. And none of our other thread members was spatuling you carefully with thick orange napalm gel, pressing in lit cigarettes and sitting in an overstuffed chair to watch; which just proves how mature they are, and how much I'm not; which must be parent-issues with me, possibly issuing from similar treatment at the hands of Those Irrational, Stick-in-the-mud Monsters. But I'm going to restrain myself, and do the right thing, because I'm past that sort of verbal firebombing, and love you dearly. You're a good person.
