and the Military

[Guest guest]

Am I reading this right? I cannot imagine doing such a thing with my

typical children. In fact, I would have never signed such a

statement at 18. I was ready for independence and freedom. I can't

imagine a judge or lawyer or anyone doing this? What am I missing?

I have 3 in college but . . . as I understand it, if they get hurt or

whatever, it would be no different than if that happened when they

are 30 or more. The laws prevail and parents usually are part of the

picture --and yes, I know all about Terri Schiavo and will never get

over all that but I still cannot imagine doing what you are saying?

I've been training my (typical) kids to be independent since they

were about two.

(PST) Wow! I never heard of that before, but I

see the benefits of doing it.

Re: and the Military

Can I ring here? We are taking legal guardianship of our very

typical son who will be 18 next year. We explained to him why he

needs to sign the papers and when we will reverse it. If, GOD

FORBID, anything were to happen to him while away at college we

wouldn't be able to make medical decisions, etc for him. So that is

what we will do for all of our kids until they are out of college.

We are fierce mama lion's aren't we?!?!??! >>>>>>>>>>
