The school summer holidays are fast approaching. My teen son breaks up next Friday, and I’m already determined that this year will be different.
No more sleeping all day, only surfacing mid-afternoon to eat and then back to bed to watch Netflix or YouTube videos. Instead, the soon-to-be 18-year-old is getting a job.
