[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two stepdaughters are the polar opposites with this. They are responsible for their own washing, keeping their rooms clean as well as helping with the house. The 15-year-old does her part and always has clean clothes. The 13-year-old keeps her room “reasonably” clean, does the occasional chore around the house, but is terrible with doing her washing.

Despite having an abundance, she only wears her “favorite’s”, puts them back and wears them again and again and again, including her underwear. She is also lazy when it comes to showering and she doesn’t seem to care at all. Their mum is constantly venting her frustrations at me, yet rarely says anything to her.

That is understandable, as the last time I talked to her about it and suggested she have a shower before we went out, she shrugged her shoulders, then walked into the garage and got in the car.  [/quote]

That’s disgusting and unsanitary to wear dirty underwear over and over and not shower. [/quote]

I totally agree,

Hopefully she will change and it’s just part of the rebellious stage she is going through, but maybe not as she is quite lazy. Recently her mother and I talked to her about it and thought we might have gotten through to her. Instead, she did the exact opposite by not showering. She also sits very un-lady like, so it’s obvious when she wears the same underwear.

She had the same reaction when I commented on the way she sits. Not only did she keep looking at her phone she sat in an even more un-lady like way. Maybe its attention seeking, or something like that and we probably need to change our approach. Neither of us are sure what that is, but I also think we need to stop comparing her to her sister. Her mum is constantly doing it and I don’t think it’s helping the situation. [/quote]
