Call them to let them know, but take care of him yourself.

Put him straight to bed.

Think he can take care of himself...he's 6.

Stay in and do your essay. There will be other parties.

Go out! There will be other essays!

Stay in and do most of it, and show up late to the party. This way you still made an appearance and all you have to do Sunday is edit.

Independent and always looking to help.

All over the place, but she's suprisingly organized.

Laid back...all the time.

Relaxed, but stresses out.

19. Why do you want to leave home?

FREEDOM!

So I can party without parental consequence.

So I can force myself to be independent and responsible.

I want to exert my independence and learn life skills.

20. Do you think you're ready? Honestly.

Not at all.

Maybe. I just need to learn a bit more.

Yes. I do

Kind of. I have qualities that would make it possible, but I have qualities that would make it difficult to leave home.
