I?m not sure where I am going with this so I?ll start in the middle.
Why is DS(13) so droopy? I don?t just mean physically but mentally as well. It is as if he isn?t switched on. It feels as though he has to be constantly reminded to do everything: wash, dress, go to school. I swear the only reason he comes home from school is that they push him out of the door.
DS goes to cadets so that is a good thing. The only thing he does without prompting is iron his kit. Everything else needs constant reminders.
Is this normal for 13 year old boys? I worry that I will still be shouting up the stairs to get him going in the morning when he is 45. Is this the scourge of xbox that you can conquer the world with a few twitches of your thumbs so why bother getting dressed?
I know that we have a lot to be thankful for. DS is good and kind and thoughtful when he gets going but he just doesn?t seem to get going.
Any road up, thank you for reading if you got this far.
