[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 604024, member: 14557"] It really is funny that all those things you have to fight with them (mine was a real slob too at home) when they are still home start to make sense to them, when they are on their own. :bigsmile: His adjustment to new surroundings really seems to have begun well. From the sound of it he is heavily coached on the room mate issues by his sport psychiatric and difficult child is trying hard to do what he advises to. I can well understand difficult child turning to his sport psychiatric for help in that. He was rather nervous about sharing a flat with other player when making this deal. He did share a flat first when he moved to his former team and it really didn't work out and apparently difficult child has understood it wasn't just about other boys being jerks. His sport psychiatric is very familiar with 'guy world' having background both in military and in his own sport career and is probably the most apt person to guide difficult child through this experience. How difficult child really will adjust is something only time will tell. Beginning is easy. He tries his very best, everyone else is trying to give good impression on themselves, difficult child is only getting to know his coaches, tries to please, coaches, if there are problems, try to solve them with positive methods still etc. It will be late November, early December when they are playing all the time, everyone is exhausted, they hit the loosing streak and everyone gets agitated, difficult child either has friends and feels safe and comfortable with the team or not, feels safe enough to sleep in the team bus or will be lacking sleep, difficult child is homesick, coaches are tired and start snapping even when not necessary and so on. That is when difficult child either falls apart or has adjusted well enough to make it through. DDD, you may be onto something with room mate's unwillingness to deal with IKEA furniture. He really seemed rather dominating 'alpha male' type of the guy and if he is still stuck with some High School thinking patterns, he will likely think difficult child basically has a word 'LOSER' tattooed to his forehead. Admitting you don't know something in front of someone who you consider inferior isn't easy for the ego. It will be interesting to see how these two will do together. Hopefully it will turn to iron sharpens iron-scenario. [/QUOTE]
