Make him isolate for 14 days. No excuses. No washing done. No special requests. No special treatment fir the inevitable hangover.

And he bleaches/cleans the bathroom every time he uses it.

You will bring 3 meals a day to his room and he is not to leave unless for bathroom.

as above
and he is goes out- he stays out till lockdown is over

His choice

Sounds like the sort of thing a teenager would do.
A grown man in his 20s should know better

Branleuse · 12/04/2020 17:13

In his 20s?
Tell him to stay. In a hotel for 2 weeks

I agree with everyone else. It would be bad enough if he was a teenager but he's not a kid.

What are you going to do? Bet you don't make him self isolate for two weeks so I am not sure what the point of the post is.

Wwid? Laugh. None of us are self isolating/in at risk groups. All working outside the home. No big difference to me either way but I'd probably say something vague about waiting a few more weeks for the next overnight adventure and could he do it elsewhere.

Do you have a garden shed? And a bucket?

(Only half joking).

How do you 'make' a 20 year Old self isolate if they don't want to. You have my sympathies op, we are self isolating with a selfish entitled adult child, its bloody hard. Other than making them homeless (and our ds would be homeless on the street as there is nowhere for him to go in the crisis) there is nothing you can do.
