very proud Momma
my middle son dropped out of high school when he was 17. He's now 18 (will be 19 in May), he and his girlfriend are expecting in October... he decided last month he wanted to get his GED. He just took the 2 day test last week and not only did he pass his GED....but he scored high enough that the community college offered him a 2 year tuition paid scholarship. He is so proud of himself, makes my heart smile.

He should go to school. I can understand that he wants to work but if he doesn't go to school he will kick himself for it later.

Kudos to your son!!! I agree that he can go to school and work possibly even more than just weekends. I went to college full time, worked full time, had 2 toddlers and was pregnant...so I know it can be done.

He should be. I know you are. Congratulations!
Sounds like he is taking care of his responsibilities.
