[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What?! I’m sorry to say but at this point you have to force him to do it. We are very strict about tooth brushing I guess but I put the toothpaste on their brushes for them and watch my kids brush their teeth every morning and evening. They have electric toothbrushes that make a noise after 30 seconds and that is their signal they’ve brushed long enough. I guess I don’t know how you got to this point bc it would never occur to me to just assume my young kid is brushing and not actually witness it myself. I let my kids have freedom in other areas of their lives but when it comes to health, safety, hygiene, I’m still helicopter-y. I hope you can regain control of this situation. Don’t be sad about it just take charge and change the way you approach it,[/quote] Stop with the “What?!” You are so rude. I do their bedtime. Last week was super busy. Husband put them to bed alone two nights. He is more hands off and figured the 7yo HAS been doing at least once daily on his own. I guess he was overwhelmed doing bedtime alone and forgot? Kid was sick last week too. I think one night he fell asleep before real bedtime. Stop your condescension though. [/quote]
