My (50s F) youngest (18F) has graduated high school and decided the week before college was to start she wasn’t going to go. I am happy that she decided this before lots of money was spent, but here we are 9 mo later and there is no job (she is afraid to learn to drive so that limits options) and is taking one class at the community college on line.
She is pleasant and helps somewhat around the house and I enjoy our relationship. But I worry that I am not pushing her enough to try new things, work, etc. I understand feeling lost, not knowing what you really want to do, but this is so different from my own experiences I don’t know how to help.
My oldest (22F) has a clear career path she wants to pursue and still makes some age appropriate stupid choices, but is away from home now. I have to remind myself she did a year of on line school as well (thanks pandemics) and lived at home at that time too. It is still early on, but I am worried about doing my child a disservice.
Thought?
