I really need some other people’s points of view.
My son is 19 . He has always been very quiet, not sporty and in to computer games. He suddenly out of the blue got a girlfriend when he started at his 6th form 2 years ago.
He was predicted good grades for a levels and was going to go to York Uni . He didn’t get the grades. This was because he stopped working hard when he met her, lost all focus of his future .
We then moved away and he came with us leaving his girlfriend behind , although they were still together. We thought it would fizzle out. He was then going to go Brighton Uni, then join the army . He now has a full time job basic admin job , that my sister in law got him. He just about manages to get up for it, doesn’t shower most mornings .
He is very lazy , his room is a tip, he doesn’t get his hair cut unless we keep reminding him, he doesn’t brush his teeth, he says up all night watching tv or gaming.
We thought this would all change when he got a job.
His girlfriend has now moved up here in a house share and is working as a waitress . She shows no ambition in life and seems as lazy as my son is . At the weekends they do nothing . They don’t go out anywhere . They slob around .
Does this seem normal ?
I am worried my so. Is going to move out . He can’t look after himself . He will lose the job he has as he will be not washing , wearing dirty clothes .
Or should I just leave him to it???
