So SS21 has been hitting it hard since he turned 21. DH and I didn't really think much about, just thought it was a phase.

DH was talking to BM last night regarding SS16 and she brought up SS21. Apparently SS21 was drinking alone at BM's house (where he is living for the summer) Saturday night. He got sick and threw-up in the hallway between his room and the bathroom and didn't bother to clean it up. When BM questioned him about it SS21 just told her he got up too fast and was dizzy. Don't know if BM addressed the vomit and cleaning up after yourself though.

SS20 was doing his laundry at BM's over the weekend.  His GF was there (aka Sponge Bob).  BM and SDad were in the basement family room and overheard Sponge Bob and SS20.  SS20 had stuffed his dirty clothes into the washer and it was packed tight.  Sponge Bob told SS20 that he needed to take some of the clothes out of the washer or nothing would get clean.  Sponge Bob then made the comment that when they live together she will have to do the laundry.  After SDad heard this he butted in and told her point blank:

Yesterday was a red letter day for DH. He took off work to take SS16 to the orthodontist. SS16’s braces came off about a year ago and his teeth have shifted. BM thought it was because his wisdom teeth were coming in.

I suspected SS16 isn’t wearing his retainers. DH jumped on the wisdom tooth bandwagon when I suggested the possibility that SS16 wasn’t wearing his retainers. I asked SS16 at dinner last week if he has been wearing his retainers every night. He looked me and DH in the eye and said “yes”. So I stepped out of it.

DH got a text yesterday that SS16 had skipped a class. When DH confronted SS16 about it SS16 said he did miss a class but it was because he was attending an informational meeting with the local tech college.

SS16 has decided to enter a dual program (HS/Tech School) because he wants a career in the trades. He has three tracks to choose from: welding, tool & die, and robotics. Hasn't decided which track yet.
