Flynn Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I have a feeling my son will not want to go to college. He hates school. Im afraid to think what?s going to happen once high school is over I never read the beginning of this thread- on an awful call and did some catchup This post caught my attention.. Maybe your son is like me.. I loved school till I got to Jr. High, then started to dislike it, by the time HS was done I absolutely HATED school and had the grades to show it. I went to Community College for a semester to appease my parents, I'd say that 1st October I went to visit a HS buddy. IT was the best weekend of my life to that point.. Came back Sunday night and told my parents "I'm going to college!!" Put it in gear that 1st semester, had a great second and summer semester and was 600 miles away 18 months later. College appealed to my sensibilities more than HS did.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4EverRangerFrank Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 My 23-year old son is looking to buy a co-op in the next few weeks and move back to NYC. It's been great having him home since March and while I get his desire to make this move and get on with life, the 'flying from the nest' part has me in a melancholy mood. The other guy, 21, is looking to move to NYC too but not that soon -- so I still have my 'sports partner' around for a bit longer. When he moves, that's gonna' be a tough one for this dad. For those of you with young ones, I'll say it again, love 'em up every day as much as you can. The heartfelt joy of a family being close is irreplaceable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 My standard saturday AM grocery trip is now over $400 for the week. The inflation part, sure, that sucks, but it's definitely just being driven by the 3 kids, and seemingly bottomless appetite. Nothing fancy, just calories. Why did I think this was going to get cheaper as I aged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Same for us. Two kids just drains the food budget. I went the other day for a quick trip to pick up a handful of things they needed. Fruits, kids snacks, etc. It was like one bag full and cost $49. We're talking fucking apples, fruit rollups, some cookies, etc. Just insane.

BrooksBurner Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I got a second one (another boy) on the way in the summer I am dreading the future expenses, but obviously can't wait to meet him. The first one has been a blast. Lucky enough to work from home so the gas price for a commute or something isn't killing our budget. Feel bad for families who are taking on that bill in addition to the other inflated prices we are all dealing with. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPDATE: Older son bought his co-op, we cleaned and painted it top to bottom and a month after moving in…he accepted a transfer to London, moving there this past New Year’s Eve. NYC market for his unit (large 1BR in a beautiful Art Deco building) is at a stand-still. People are stepping up to a 2BR to continue work from home or buying studios in ‘doorman’ buildings. Oh-well, it’s only (his) money. Anticipating my separation from divorce, we sold our home and I bought a new 2BR condo in Beacon a short walk to the MetroNorth train. My youngest son moved here with me so he could eventually commute to his new job in NYC. THEN, my wife and I reconciled and re-married in December. We went on a 10-day honeymoon to Dominican Republic a couple of weeks ago and will follow that up with another week I’m Cancun next month. LOL - we needed a bit of separation to rekindle and it’s been great. We’re adding a large clothes closet for her in our unit anticipating her move here in June…when her apartment lease ends. Life can be quite unpredictable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Second kid on the way. Current one is 2 1/2. Our primary vehicle has been a ‘15 Lexus RX 350, and trips anywhere fill that thing up quick. And that’s with one. A second kid is really just going to push us out of it. So…. Van or big SUV? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third row SUV if you have an ego. Minivan if you just don't give a fuck. My Pathfinder is coming tomorrow because I have fucks to give. And congrats on the sex.
