[quote=Anonymous]Just a rant: DS, 14, turns all his homework in on time and gets straight As, so I know he has some level of organizational ability. In all other areas, he’s a total slob! I ask him to do the dishes and three will get broken and the stove and countertop will still be covered in dirty pots and food. There are probably 12 pairs of dirty socks under his bed. He could not find a misplaced object if it had blinking lights and a “this way” sign. He forgets to put the milk back in the fridge regularly. If I go to sleep before him, I will wake up to every light in the house on and maybe the fridge door open. Today, I told him to bring his clean clothes and his suitcase up from the basement so he could pack for the wedding we’re going to. He goes to the basement, kicks a soccer ball around for a while and comes back up, empty handed. I tell him again. He brings the clothes and suitcase up and, five minutes later, assures me he has packed. He just zipped the clean clothes into the suitcase! He was going to go to a wedding with five socks, a pair of shorts and two t-shirts. Meanwhile, DD, 16, has packed (including a toothbrush!) and fed the dog. Reader, am I teaching my son that a woman will always clean up after him or is he going to grow out of this?[/quote]
