When my ds announced he was deferring his uni place to next sept., I thought great, he can do a bit of growing up, get some work experience or volunteering. Something. He's not doing anything. He's perfectly happy, personable, helpful, friendly, a great lad apart from he's not working in any capacity. My opinion up to now is surely it's a good thing to learn to work with other people, learn some new skills. My friends keep asking what he's up to and suggest we stop any money that he gets, gym membership etc. My dh is getting very annoyed and I find myself wondering who's right and is there another point of view out there that could justify him chilling for a year? I guess my question is AIBU to nag him to do something or should he be able to float around for a year?
