DS, on holiday from uni, is keeping himself largely to himself. Something may be up - he may be anxious but he isn't only withdrawn, he's only very abrupt, especially with me and clearly impatient when I try to talk/ask him any questions at all. The times when he isn't like this are usually when he's wanting money. Sad but true.
But I'm here because of this - AIBU to think that he shouldn't be making himself an evening meal at 11.30 pm each and every night? Doesn't want to eat as a family, cooks himself meals through the day, ending with a very late one. We're in a small house and of course I can hear him when I'm trying to get to sleep. I'm back at work next week and there's no indication that this will stop then. He seems to be following some weight gain or similar plan (itself rather worrying) which includes evening gym, a snack when he comes back (if you call 6 eggs a snack) and then a very late big meal. I'm not only worried about his weight gain, his lack of revision for upcoming exams, his behaviour but his thinking that it's OK to make a noise in the kitchen so late and of course leave a mess for me to clear up in the morning.
I'm trying to understand but his lack of care and concern for the rest of us is making it a little difficult. As I write this, I can hear a lot of noise from the kitchen - hardly worth going to bed & yet I'm shattered.
I've posted on here quite recently about another DS and the overwhelming advice was to give myself a break. Perhaps now, money notwithstanding, I really do need to, if only for a few weeks.

AIBU?
to think that DS, 21, shouldn't be cooking noisily so late at night?
