Hi, I feel like a crap mother right now. Son got sacked from his job of six months for being late constantly. Now he back to lying in bed all day and either gaming or watching gaming. We've been down this road before. I want him to get up and do something, anything! So today I confiscated the router. Now we're at a standoff. I won't give the router back until he does something and he says he won't do anything until he gets the router back. He has internet on his phone but says that's no good. He's upset and won't get out of bed. I feel awful and scared. His father has talked to him but we not getting very far. Son says he's applied for loads of jobs but my issue is that while he's not working he could be doing something around the house or he could learn something. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.
