So DSS17 has arrived as per the rota for his "access" visit. Within 2 minutes of arriving, "what are we doing this weekend dad?". Arrrggghhh it's been the same for 10 years, he just doesn't "get" that it isn't his dads job to lay on 24/7 entertainment during "access" time.
DH is at the end of his tether with it, but doesn't know what else to do. He's tried talking to him, asking him about friends, encouraging activities and outside interests, encouraging him to find a Sat job. But DSS is just not interested in doing anything. At his mums house he does absolutely everything with his mother, and he has no interest in life being any different here. Tomorrow will consist of about an hours homework, and then he literally won't do anything else all day except look bored and ask dad what theyre doing next
