DS is planning to spend his summer partying, coming home at all hours (2,30am last night ) and sleeping in. We have tried and tried to get him to do something vaguely constructive - voluntary work, menial work, the Challenge ( he turned down his place ) - are we unreasonable to suggest he should do SOMETHING?
Partly because if he had to get up in the morning he wouldn't be able to party so much.
This week there has been one illegal rave and two other parties past midnight. DH and I aren't sleeping because we worry where he is and what he is going. ( knowing he has experimented with drugs so are fears are not unfounded. )
How to make a 16 yo do anything ? He doesn't need much money, so not much leverage there.
AIBU?
