[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would lighten up on the job stuff. It sounds like your kid needs time to heal, and 10 weeks is a tiny blip of time. Could he do some pet sitting for friends and neighbors this summer to earn a bit of money and have some accountability?[/quote] +1 Tell him he needs to post on the neighborhood listserv and find work sufficient to bank $X/week and that it needs to involve at least Y hours a week of work. If he doesn't reach that number then he can do some volunteer work. He could tutor, pet sit, housesit, take care of people's plants and yards when they are on vacation. There's lots to do. Doesn't matter whether he needs money or not, the point is that he can't sit around all summer. That's what we do/did.[/quote]
