[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 527758, member: 6705"] Jett's showers are getting longer, but I kind of doubt that's due to washing more. He [I]is[/I] 13... Anyway, we have to remind him constantly about deodorant, washing underarms, hair, pubic area, etc. For a while he would complain that people said he smelled bad, but then took 30-second showers. I explained that wasn't going to work and why. And if he did not want to shower properly, then not to complain about smelling bad. He quit complaining, but... His hygiene is horrible unless he is told. And he is too old for me to go in with him and wash his hair. So we keep it super short. He has pretty strong body odor, and hates brushing his teeth (would someone PLEASE tell me why he has no cavities?!). But Onyxx is so grossed out she tells him to do it. Onyxx: "Did you put on deodorant?" Jett: "I'll do it again." Me: "You wouldn't have to do it 'again' if you'd already done it." Jett: "I did!" Onyxx: "No you didn't. How about your teeth?" Yeah, it's gross to us but... All I can say is buzz her hair and see if that helps?! [/QUOTE]
