I have a great son! He's a good kid, 19 now. He is living at home, usually does what I ask of him but just recently, I had asked him to mow the yard while I was running errands. Didn't get back til after dark so didn't feel the need to 'check'. I asked him if he mowed. He said he did and even put the lawn mower away. I was thrilled until I took the dogs out only to find out that he didn't mow the yard and only put the lawn mower away.
Ugh! What gives?? Why did he lie? I am not sure of the best approach with this. I feel betrayed, frustrated... I have suspended his phone - he has no job at present - is actively looking but we pay his expenses. Any suggestions on what type of 'talk' I should give him?
I am not putting him out. That is not a solution. Hopefully a common sense approach. Thanks for advice! I hope I can resolve this soon.
