Ds1 is 16 and since he's finished school at the beginning of June I feel like I never see him. He gets up, showers and goes out. He comes back for dinner and the goes out again. When he gets in he goes straight to his room. (It sounds even worse written down).

I don't know if this is normal and ok or if I need to make him spend more time with the rest of us which he doesn't want to do. He doesn't hate us. He just seems to not think about us at all. :(

Mine are all like that but at 16,18 and 20 they've all decided to come on holiday with us, no laptops, x-boxes or TV's so hopefully conversation and card games.
