[quote=Anonymous]I had to let go of the messy room and lack of hygiene. If he had BO I would suggest a shower and introduce deodorant, but I let go of whether he used it or not. Ultimately, in teen years, his girlfriend told him, and he listened. For public space, yes I insist on more cleanliness. Polite and calm reminders that there is no cleaning fairy and it is not equitable to expect that I clean up after him, get him reluctantly to do things. Also, asking him to do chores he likes more - take garbage out, do leaf blowing, etc. Also, it's OK, to draw boundaries - announce Mom needs some quiet time - I am going to take an hour to read, unless it's an emergency ease don't interrupt. If DS really can't comply, use supports like a message board on the door or be humorous - ask if someone needs an ambulance and make up all sorts of fake emergencies that could have occurred.
