Advice needed please...
My DS is 16, he had a paper round 7 months ago which he only did for 2 weeks because "it was too early!". Three weeks ago he got a part time job in a fish and chip shop, but has been sacked because he had no money to get there. He didn't even call them to say he wasn't coming in! He said he was scared to call (understandable but no excuse) I made him call them the next day, not without resistance I hasten to add.
He has no work ethic whatsoever, despite watching me and his older sister (lone parent) work long hours. He has only applied for 6th form which he probably won't get into due to poor input for his GCSE exams.
I will not give him any money or allow sleepovers etc. Am I doing the right thing here? I'm tired, drained and desperate for advice.
