[quote=Anonymous][quote]The gir really hates bathing and basic hygiene in general but has obviously started puberty and needs be be bathin daily. So we’ve only done bath twice, and both times I had a brief talk about bathing independently and how I could help if she needed me but I was going to give her privacy.

There are a lot of hygiene issues that a girl of her age should have locked down. (She cannot wipe properly, she doesn’t clean her face after and often had crumbs/food all over herself, won’t brush hair or teeth).

This is an intelligent, capable child. She is just very lazy because Mom has babied her to a degree I have NEVER seen.

She is super sweet but expects everything handed to her and I’m not going to be an enabler.

MB is a very busy lawyer so I don’t know if she just never wanted to put on the effort or what. Going to have a sit down about getting NK to have some self care skills. She will be starting menstruation soon, and she 100% needs to be dealing with that herself.[/quote]

So who deals with all the dependency on the weekend?  the busy attorney mom?  Agree you will be doing this young girl a huge favor by helping her toward independence.  The lack of hygiene can't help her with socialization with her peers.[/quote]
