[quote=Anonymous]My DC got mono freshman year 2nd semester as well and was exhausted for weeks. By the time he came home he was pale and sickly looking, and depressed. He's also a kid who likes to stay up most of the night and sleep late (which drives me crazy and did not contribute to improving his mental health). In your shoes I'd have a meeting and make a plan with him. What are his plans for himself? What would you like to see from him? Where's overlaps and where's the divide? Insist on PT, he can pull that off with mono, and some basic chores (unpaid). Maybe set the goal of adding gig work in the afternoon/evening as his health allows. If he can walk/drive, picking up some DoorDash runs should be fairly easy. I've known other college kids who do that over breaks. [/quote]
