My boys are 19 and 17. Time flies, doesn’t it?
My oldest is in college full time. He has a job as a personal trainer. He trains, lol. He had his first Muay Thai competition last year. He has a kickboxing match in August and his first MMA fight in November.
I see mma different now that my child is doing it. It kinda disgusts me.
On the flip side, he smokes marijuana, does mushrooms, has a different girlfriend every few weeks and parties a lot.
My youngest is doing great in what he loves. He won State tournament in Air Rifle competition. He is still determined to join the marines.
He is my good son. Straight laced. No drugs and doesn’t drink.
They both sound great to me
I would also worry about the combat sports
My kids are 18 and 14. Both are in early relationships. Trying to understand why I'm more nervous about my daughter (18) than the son. Whenever boys come around her my instinct is to fend them all off but I know that's unreasonable. I try to be civil but this beast inside me wants to thrash them all lol
I have not met her boyfriend yet they just starting dating or whatever like a week or 2 ago.
I met my son's girlfriend and she seems sweet.
Daughter REALLY enjoys socializing, for her school and getting a job is way low on her priority list. It's been tough to keep her on track just to not fail her classes. She graduates this year but is always on the brink of fucking up a class or two because she skips on schoolwork to go have fun. But I think she's OK
My son I don't worry about, although my daughter insists that he is hiding his own dirt and is playing us as parents hardcore lol
He doesn't do BJJ anymore but is enjoying lifting
Also my nephew from Brasil is living with us now, he's 18 but you'd think he's like early 20's he's quite mature. He trains BJJ with me now and loves it. He is currently illegal in Canada and wants to take a course that's like 14K and we don't know exactly what to do for him yet lol
So I basically have 3 full on teenagers in my house.
How did I get here? Honestly it happened so fast I feel like I'm in a Twilight zone lol
Teenage years are weird for parents I think. Sudden disconnect after so many years of being so closely connected...
disorienting
All in all I think we're doing OK
Keep going Shinkicker, you inspire me about this stuff believe it or not
