I’ve been like that for about a month! You reminded me of that song Tossing and Turning from the 60’s.

Lol, we used have bottle rocket wars ... on bikes! There's nothing like having a bottle rocket blowing up mere inches away from your face to make you feel alive.
Bottle Rockets in the morning...smell like Victory.
It must be cool to have a Big Brother who really just wants to help.
Thank you everyone. Many of your comments were very touching and it means a whole lot.
Yes we are both very proud parents. It was a lot of work and a long road. He's over all a very good kid. Some typical teen behaviors, but not many. He shows no interest in smoking, drinking (not even sodas. he hates any carbonation), vaping, and thankfully drugs. All of his closest friends are also Eagles or working on their Eagle. There's a lot of people raising him. Us, his younger sister (although both would deny it), teachers, grand parents, family friends, and scout leaders. He's a complete nerd/geek. His classes are all advanced and he's doing dual (HS and College) in English and math. Just today he received his first college acceptance letter of the 3 he's applied.

Not even close. So far he's better, but isn't that what we strive for as parents?
He didn't become a great person on his own, you and your wife deserve a high-five....as sad as it is, not many parents this day and age can claim their children are doing really well.
All we can do is our best to give them the tools to succeed. That's what we sign up for when we made the choice to have kids. Currently our 13 year old daughter is our challenge.
In today's world that's understandable. But I'm sure it will all work out.
From my understanding girls are tougher to raise.
I was a teenager and raised all sorts of hell. Congratulations, to your son, to both you, and your wife. He is definitely on the right path to achieve his goals in life.
Congratulations @DonBaldy and to your son! That's a huge accomplishment! You must be so proud. You deserve to be. You've raised a son who's accomplished more than a whole lot of people. Definitely something to crow about!
Sounds like your son is on the right path. He's making great choices and proving he's not just another lemming following peers into destruction. Most parents would be proud to have a son like yours.
Don't worry about your daughter too much. She'll come around.
