The son has not ventured out of the house once this week except for when he come shopping with me. He has stayed in bed more or less all day. He has not showered, cleaned his teeth or changed his clothes apart from his one outing with me. He stinks....his dad is hopping mad about it all. I am trying to stay calm and not make a big fuss about it all. The more fuss that's made the more he loves the attention.
Am I right to be concerned?
He worries me so much!

Nope, teenage boys don't like washing until they get into teenage girls then you won't get him out of the bathroom. Whenever my 18 year old stepson stays with us he never gets up until the afternoon - it mystifies me, but I don't think they see any point in getting up if they have nothing to do.
Ignore it, unless the smell gets so bad that you don't want him eating with you x
