My eldest is 16 and wants to come home to work but is going back to the 6th form in September.
It is always difficult with your own but overall he is excellent, likes things done right, steady and careful with machines and fully 'gets' what me and his mum are trying to do.
He doesn't start with me first thing but has done plenty of 10 and 12 hour days, quite often working over 50 hours a week when I stop to think about it.
Every now and then he seems to run out of steam and lose interest , as he is still a student in my eyes I leave him to it and in fairness if I want him to come out and get up a gear he will, I have to remind myself sometimes that he is on holiday and wants to lie on his arse for a while.
What does everyone else do with your own, force them out every hour every day, indulge them or what?
I'm not worried at all but it would be interesting to know others experiences.
