Anybody dealing with 19yo son issues during the quarantine?

[woodsprite]

Any advice?

He was with his girlfriend pretty much the first wk of the college shutdown with the exception of going to work, a few meals, and sleeping. Now we're 2 wks into a shelter-at-home order, and he vacillates between grumpy, silent, talkative, and invisible.

I told him I know it's not easy. He wants to be with his GF and her family. Hell, I really like her and would like to have her over for dinner, to have a game night, etc. It's not easy for us either - none of us have had to ever do anything like this before, but we're safe, in our average sized home, with an array of food available, parents who are working 40hrs/wk from home, and staying safe now means that we are keeping others safe as well. Out of the two families, the most high risk is his girlfriend (asthma, diabetes, bariatric patient, and on immune suppressing meds), myself (diabetes and HBP), and her grandfather (83yo in a wheelchair).

I guess I'm having a pity party for myself tonight with the stress, Mr. Vacillating Grumpypants, working full days doing stuff I'm not 100% sure of how to do, and having to deal with a fussy geriatric dog who thinks I exist to feed her treats 24/7.

I just want things to be back to normal.
