Couldn't your adult son mow the lawn? I doubt it would take much time to teach him. Does he live with you for free? It's the least he could do. Really, many 16 year olds from my generation mowed lawns, too, but I know many nowadays wouldn't go that far. I learned how to drive stick shift at 16. I'm a woman. So glad I did. Been driving a manual transmission car on the road since then. I'm almost 50.

I know. I sound like an old grandma saying "When I was young...", but it was all true.

If your riding or push mower is even simpler than I assume, then it should definitely be no problem for them.

There is a good book called "Loving Someone with Bipolar" by Julie Fast. Perhaps that could be an aid in familiarizing your children about your disorder. Summer is a great time since school is out on break and we're experiencing a pandemic.
