Lazy SS!

[Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair]

We have my SS (16) for 2weeks while his mum is abroad for 2weeks...

Not normally an issue and we have him EOW but I'm getting pissed off already 4days in. He is a lazy little slob. He expects us to taxi him every where so we have to base our days off around him. He expects me to cook him dinner, he doesn't wash up after him self. He hasn't showered I'm 4days, not brushed his teeth (I got him a new toothbrush and it's obvious it's not been used).

I asked him how much money he needs for school lunches and his response..."you'll have to make me a packed lunch, I don't like the school food" not please etc.

I have been with DP for 12 years, I love him dearly but he is such a laid back dad and just shrus it all off.

I feel like booking a last min holiday and going away myself.

Anyone else's kids like this?

Stop doing it. Refer it all to his Dad

Stop catering to him. He can make his own sandwiches and your DH can clear up after him.

You aren't a servant.

My SS was exactly the same and even now at almost 21 isn't great but he can at least make himself a sandwich! Hygiene is still hit and miss and he'll often leave the house without brushing his teeth which is just gross! I gave up bothering as it's on him if he stinks. We used to give him jobs to do when we were out and used the WiFi as a bargaining tool....turn it off if he doesn't do what he's asked to!

He doesn't come across as depressed and is always going round to his mates, hence the constant lifts etc.

He's a big gamer too and. I don't think that helps as it's become addictive too.

No, pick this one OP

Refer him straight to his dad if necessary but stop driving him around and certainly stop making his packed lunches, lazy little twerp

This with bells on. Stop doing everything! Your DH sounds like a lousy parent and partner in this scenario. I’d direct every single request from SS to your DH and ask DH why it’s acceptable for SS not to wash or clean his teeth. Just gross!
