[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you. My 15 yo poor executive functioning kid is similar to your son though perhaps a little better (no dishes!). He is also an athlete and is always racing around which I think contributes to the mess. I wish I had good advice. I want him to be responsible for his own room and deal with the consequences but the fact is the filth only bothers me. He doesn’t hide food under his bed or in the hamper but he definitely brings snacks/candy up even though I’ve asked him not to. His floor is almost completely covered by a combination of wrappers, bottles and dirty clothing. He has school papers mixed in as well. He does do his own laundry which is a huge positive but he just won’t store the dirty where it belongs or put his clean clothing away. Sometimes I dump the clean clothes on his bed so he will have to do it before he goes to sleep but often that means he just tosses the heap on his dresser which is already covered in a mountain of toiletries, soccer accessories, etc. Don’t even get me started on the closet. And the artificial turf pellets. I break down a few times a year and clean it while he’s at school but it gets me really irritated. I’ve tried to get him to work with me so he can develop better organization but he always insists he doesn’t want to make work for me and he will do better. And then he really does clean it up and it looks better for about a 3-4 days.  He is really the sweetest kid in all other respects but I feel terrible for his future college roommate. [/quote]
