Since COVID we homeschooled and eventually went to virtual online charter school. It met the need of a quieter less distracting school environment and flexibility. BUT…my 14 year old diagnosed with ADHD (not really hyper at this age) has sleep issues and extremely picky eater. I transitioned to a remote job so I am on the clock. He sleeps through alarms, has trouble going to sleep and ends up on the sofa sleeping with SpongeBob to distract. He has sleep paralysis sometimes. But after 3 years I am over this. I am between following up and trying to wake him for up to 10 min straight (sometimes unsuccessfully), my nerves are shot. My 17 year old grew into being responsible in 9th grade but with similar struggles in Middle school. Sound stupid right? Just let go. Learn the hard way? Could get kicked out of the charter school although he has flexibility to complete virtual classes and work through the recordings. Problem is he still requires assistance and follow up. I mentioned to his therapist/counselor my situation, I cannot follow him around all day asking if he remembered to eat lunch or waking him up for 10 min. She seems to think he is less mature and still needs parent intervention. I do over this yet afraid to let him learn the hard way, advice from those who have been there or were kids with same issues?

So I live in Morgantown proper. My elderly neighbor does her best to let everything in her yard grow “natural” for privacy. The hedges that were put in place by the second previous owners of my home in front yard property line and my chain link fence that encircles my entire property are all overgrown with purposely planted vines on her side. I was warned when I purchased that I should discuss with the neighbor prior to removing said greenery. She does this to the neighbor on the other side as well and has had disagreements. It’s a f******g mess, all grows towards my property for sun. I am trimming everything I can on my side, off, back, etc. She has now put long sticks up like Prickets fort to encourage vines to grow up into the oak trees for a screen that have grown into the chain link. They point over the fence so I lop them off, anything on my side gets removed promptly. I am waiting for her to pass away, then make my move when the home changed hands, which maybe my only recourse. The greenery keeps mequitos(horrendous problem) and of course pollen galore. Any advice? I know there are laws that let people assume property if they occupy over 10 years. This person has let me know on numerous occasions she has been growing the vines on my fence for 35 years (and she calls it her fence which it is not). Needless to say I am considering 6’ x4’ fence panels for privacy and just far enough to be able to get behind so I can still trim vines off. Neighbor on her other side did similar and said neighbor planted vines under it and told the neighbor how lovely the greenery looks. She is a widow , 80+, and not going anywhere soon…

Am I the only one? Give me the opportunity to hang with any age group (minus my grandkids)and I hands down prefer the silver crowd. Not because I feel out of the place with younger either.
Is this my spirit age? Lol silver fox (and I refuse to be grey and color my hair lol)
