[quote=Anonymous]My 13 y.o. ds is totally indifferent to his personal hygiene. We have been gently "reminding" him to take a shower for months and months, but I can't stay on top of him. Sometimes I look at (or smell) him and realize that I have no idea when was the last time he showered. Was it this year?! A couple weeks ago, dh and I told him that we can't be his reminder, and that he needs to shower every day now. Part of being a man, and all that. Still no dice. Here's the most recent affront. On Sunday evening this week, I went into the kids' bathroom and noticed his toothbrush wasn't there. Me: "Where's your toothbrush?" Ds: "Oh, it's in my bag, from when I slept over at Charlie's." [Friday night.] Me: (reluctant to hear the answer) "So, have you brushed your teeth all weekend?" Ds: "...no." Points for the honesty, I guess. But, gross! I can't get him to care, and I can't follow him around. Someone with older boys please tell me it gets better.[/quote]
