Reply #43: That is a tough age...

[Dappleganger]

we have a daughter living at home who's nearly 19 (she is a registered voter, thankfully). We've also given a home to two other teens around that age before (17-20). They waffle back and forth between a child and an adult, and everything in-between.

My guess is that there are probably a lot of other issues but it may be better to not keep fighting the voting issue so much. Kids this age aren't sure of where they fit in, and IMO esp. if they're not on campus in a regular college it can be tough. Our daughter is living at home while commuting to school and she's still trying to find her place.

And yes, keep him working either at home or insist he find a job to maybe help pay for that broadband he's hogging. ;)
