[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gentle reminder?

"Take a shower now" is our gentle reminder.  We follow it up with

"You can practice piano, talk to me about whatever, eat dinner... after you shower."

"You may not sit on my furniture until you shower."

Gentle, shmentle.

OP here, yep, I just meant gentle as in "go take a shower," rather than what I'm really thinking, which is "you are gross, and I don't understand how you can stand to be so gross every day. Why do I have to tell you to bathe?!"
I guess 20:02  you're probably right--I just need to be more vigilant. Actually I am not usually here when he leaves the house in the morning, and often I am working at night so I'm not paying attention; he's pretty autonomous. This is why he slips under the hygiene radar. Perhaps if I stay on the issue better he will tire of hearing his mommy tell him to shower brush his teeth and start taking care of matters on his own. Or maybe he'll meet a girl and stir up a whole new hornet's nest of issues. I should be thankful for the poor hygiene.[/quote]
