Background: DS is 17 and at college. He has a part time job in a food retailer, his shifts vary but in general he does 1 afternoon/ evening in the week and a day at the weekend. Hes been working there since August/ September and has only missed 1 shift when we were all ill with stomach bugs.
DS also has a girlfriend who lives 5+ hours away. She arrived last Saturday and despite me telling DS I expected her to only stay until Thursday (her arrival was sprung on me 48 hours beforehand) she is still here but going home today.
DS is meant to be working 11-7 today but has called in sick. He's not sick he is just skiving.
I said that was pretty stupid of him and if he loses this job it will be his own fault. He thinks I am being completely unfair and horrible for having a go at him as 'everyone' skips work and it's only 1 day.
So AIBU?

To have had stern words with DS about calling in sick when he isn't?
