[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be happy my preteen boy took a shower at someone else's house. That wouldn't happen. Yes, they are getting more particular because they've allowed to become so and have been home almost an entire year without social contact. Give some grace and let it go. [/quote] I would say the opposite. Their parents obviously haven't taught them there are multiple ways of achieving the same thing, ways that don't involve waste of plastic...a new bar of soap requires less plastic than body wash and is not germy, filtered water requires less plastic than bottled, and is usually not germy. Time for a teachable lesson that their parents aren't giving them. If they are teenagers there is still a lot they need to learn, including lessons about waste and manners. That's when you use grace to try to help them out with their anxiety about anything new, and polite ways to express their discomfort. [/quote]
