It's a fine line ... but definitely not easy ... appreciate all of your insight ... but at this age (19), should I expect to serve as a role model for him? I try to lend him support from a business/career point of view, work with him on ideas, but again, I am not going to force it on him, if he wants my opinion, I will let him ask for it ...

He doesn't get too involved in family matters/events, but complains about not enough family events ... we do what we do and offer him the opportunity to join us ... he only speaks with his mother ... a good example is that he told his mother that he wanted to go fishing last summer ... at a time when I was transferring completely to the surf ... offered him a trip once or twice, but he never really took me up on it ... I am not going to wait to go at 1 or 2 a.m. for him to stop partying ... on that front he has to be more proactive and fit to my schedule ... no? ... if he is nervous, it's time for him to buck up and ask me directly ... or accept what I have to offer and be quiet if he cannot comply ...

... and Larry he is working, and fortunately that is on the upswing - 20 hrs a week or so, with lots of down time ... last week he started a second job ... selling cable in the local communities as his friend is doing quite well at it, and he works on his friend's crew ...
