[quote=Anonymous]It's not your house, OP. And your offspring is not you. They lead their own life and make their own decisions. If you are worried about depression or something for more reasons than this, then that can be brought up gently. If they are functional in their life and seem happy, but you would do a deeper clean of parts of their own private living area than you do, then you treat them as an autonomous adult and interact with them as politely and with as much grace as possible. That means not telling them that they are dirty, even if phrased more politely. They are no longer four, and this is not in your purview. Hopefully you taught them well enough that they would understand boundaries and respect personal choices, if they were placed in a similar situation as you.[/quote]
