[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long did it take him to clean up the trash? [/quote]
OP here. You know he didn’t. [/quote]

Seriously?! Mine would’ve been cleaning all night and steam cleaning again today.[/quote]

NP.  So you don't have a vindictive ASD DC.  Just unhelpful criticism.[/quote]

I get told no, I spread garbage on the floor, I do fun things while mom cleans it up. Watching mom get upset and clean garbage is fun. Next time she’ll probably get me what I want, if she doesn’t I’ll make a bigger mess.

I get told no, I spread garbage on the floor, I spend all night and day cleaning and don’t get to do fun things. Cleaning garbage is smelly and not fun, Next time I won’t spread garbage.

True, but those aren't the choices.

If mom makes cleaning up a power struggle, mom won't win, because in the end her motivation to keep her house safe for siblings, and retain it's resale value is going to mean that the kid can outlast her, and winning a power struggle is enormously reinforcing to kids like this.  [/quote]

Another thank you for posting this. Going through something similar and, no, child will not clean it up no matter how long we wait, how many consequences we impose, how many times we ask, demand, beg, take away electronics, offer electronics, offer other things. It's shocking to me that someone could act like this and have completely disregard for everyone else but this is how DC is too and there are no good options for a child like this. We have tried every kind of therapy and med possible. [/quote]
