Do I get my 14 year old son to enjoy the last 2 weeks of summer rather than dreadfully counting down?

Question

Everyday he says, "Oh why can't it still be June? Why did the summer go so fast?" "Now there is only 18 days/17 days/ 16 day...." I just had surgery so we can't travel anywhere. I can't even go swimming right now! On the other hand it's so nice to be home with him for a couple weeks. I just need some suggestions to make this opportunity special.

Answer 1

Take him school shopping, help re-decorate his room, I guess try to use your imagination...there isn't a ton of stuff a boy likes to do with his mom at that age ya know?  Good luck! =]

Answer 2

Does he have cousins or friends, he can always hang out with them...I'm sure it's better than staying home...

Or maybe he can throw a party or something..that would be fun and the planning would occupy his time.

Answer 3

Get some of his friends/cousins to come over to have some fun with him. If you have a Wii it would get time moving much faster!
