DS should have started his A levels last week. Starting Uni in September
I have tried to gently encourage him to at least try and find a job (I suspect it's going to be very difficult) and also offered him (well-paid!) work at home.
But he's done very little. Seen some more of his friends since the rules were eased (walks, football in park, etc) which I'm encouraging, and has some cooking & cleaning chores to do. But less since my cleaner returned to work 2 weeks ago.
The rest of the time he gets up at lunchtime, works on his tan, then plays Xbox with his friends until the wee small hours.
He can't go on like this the whole summer - but I'm wary of nagging him too, as I do think this situation is crap and his age group is the worst off in many ways.
It's making me depressed, I don't know what to do.
