Is it a new lawn? If so, water it. If not, just let it go. It may go dormant, but it will come back in the next rain.

If he’s watering, he sucks at it.

So he has watered as well, now I do not feel alone!

+1 I end up watering maybe 4x total July-August.

Please don't waste water on your stupid lawn.

+1 I drag out the hose for my raised beds and potted plants if it's been 4-5 days, but have literally never watered my lawn since moving to DC. Even if there was a serious drought I'd feel wasteful using scarce water on something like that - I'd focus on keeping trees watered over grass.

The only time I watered the lawn was when it was newly seeded. After that it has always fended for itself.
