[quote=Anonymous]WTF?! I just spent AN HOUR holding the bathroom door shut waiting for my stubborn and ridiculous child to get undressed so I could help him shower (he hates baths and showers - no a bath won't help, and no he's not afraid of water). I finally got angry waiting and went into the bathroom, forcibly removed his clothing and yelled at him to get in the shower. Then e screamed and cried the entire 5 minutes he was in there and was SO MAD that he had to shower.

I tried really hard to be patient while I waited for him to give up, but his snarky retorts (I'm going to be tired of you don't let me go to bed, you have to give up eventually, I'm NOT taking a shower) finally got me.

HOW do you get a child to SHOWER?? He was so dirty you could literally see dirt on his limbs. It was gross, and he was starting to smell.

Bribery doesn't work (one prize doesn't work, he wants like 20), he's highly manipulative, and so goddammed tired of shower night. And yes, he got that dirty because I don't want to spend my evenings fighting with him over showers. It takes forever and makes me angry every single time.

And I'm single. So don't suggest I ask my husband. [/quote]
