is it music/art?
DS15 is attending a Music Studio where he has a choice of instruments and/or vocal instruction. in previous years DS15 has taken a year of piano lessons, 2 years of drums, a year of band and now he is doing guitar lessons. I suspect once his school requirements are met, he will never play again. He doesn't have a passion for playing musical instruments and just does what is required. Thankfully he does it with a good attitude and seems to enjoy playing while he is fulling the requirement. The moment he has finished the bare minimum time of practice he doesn't linger and keep playing more than required.
I have cooked all the planned dishes and have them ready to eat. I realized that we have no fruit salad ready to eat so I will be making a bowl of that after I take a break.
Fact of life with teenagers in the house. A gallon of milk will disappear within 4 hours of bringing it into the house. If I want to have milk for a recipe I need to remove that amount of milk from the carton and put a sign on the that container "Do not drink this!"
