LNC Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 My son was saying that he wished there was homeschool college. He wants to be a doctor (he has diabetes) and he's appalled he will be in college for so long. I explained to him that when he's that old it won't be the same, he'll be ready to move away, want to, and he won't need us the same way but he'll still love us. He said - "that's just mean!!" and started crying. My husband and I said we'll comfort ourselves with that when he's in college and doesn't call home often!!

Elisabeth in IL Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 So sweet! I love to hear boy's loving their momma stories. As a mom of 3 boys, I hope to have one of them call each week. It shouldn't be too big of a burden for one of them that way. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Mine insist that they are going to buy the houses next door and live next to us forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 That's sweet! My dd used to tell people she wanted to "home college". She doesn't say that anymore! :glare: (But, she loves homeschooling!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 How sweet! My older ds told someone of his plan to home college and grad school! He figured he could save his money that way since college is so expensive.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lilreds in NC Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 That is really sweet! My dd7 told me she's not going to go to college. She's going to stay home and do the internet. I'm afraid that means Mom spends too much time on the computer, LOL! Dd8 says, "Mom, I know you'll miss me when I am a horse farmer, but I have to do what I have to do." :D Although lately she's decided that she will get married when she's 18 and live in an apartment (I told her most people who are 18 don't have enough money for a house). :lol: (I don't have a problem with her getting married at 18 if that's where she finds herself, I just think it's funny that she has it all planned out at the age of 8.)

Dawn in Ohio Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Very cute. My 8 year old ds plans to buy the house next door so he's not too far from mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 One of my dear little boys was about 4yo and said, "I'm not going to grow up and get married and leave. I'm going to build a house next to this one and get married and you and my wife and me are going to play toys!" Awww, and they grow up...
