[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title says it. Kid came home. Unfortunately they got mono at the end of the semester, and had a physical injury all semester that hindered their ability to particpate in campus life. It was no doubt tough.

Now, however, they are home. Sleeping in til 1 pm. Says waking up is difficult (with mono) but seems to feel totally fine during the day and says as much. Can't be on their feet all day though with the injury, and sitting can be bothersome if the chair is not comfortable.

We have encouraged them to apply for a job. They say they have but they get no callbacks. They don't do the PT needed to recover from the injury. But they complain about it.

I'm kind of at my wit's end. They have cash leftover from what they saved last summer. I'm not sure I can last another 10 weeks. DH suggested paying them to be a housekeeper but I am not taking on the job of being an employer too. Nor do I want that role with my kid.

Any suggestions? I am so frustrated. This is not what we tried to teach growing up.[/quote]
