[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 364470, member: 6705"] Shari - yeah, I see this with Jett too. Certain things have been one way for YEARS, but it doesn't click. For instance, I have ALWAYS insisted that everyone (male and female) put the toilet seat [I]and[/I] lid down due to cats and chemicals. I figure it's fair, too, everyone has the same amount of work to do. And out of nowhere, on random occasions... The lid... Or the seat and lid... Are left up... Or he urinates without lifting the seat, but he DID lift the lid. Now this would make sense if he either a) lived with BM, not us; or b) had just spent a lot of time with her (i.e., spring break), and she doesn't require it. But that's not it. It's random. This is not a new rule... I've been around since he was 5. Same thing with the car doors, too. [I]Always[/I] goes to one side - he's still too small to ride in the front seat, so I have him ride behind me unless Onyxx and husband are both in the car (not common...) But... He consistently goes to the passenger side. I would be okay with it, but the back doors on my car won't open unless the front door is - the term for them is "suicide doors". (I love them, personally.) I got around the room cleaning thing finally. Instead of giving him a list, or having him come to me 25 times, I start him just inside the door to the left. When he is done straightening his desk and putting things away, then toy bins... Night stand... Bed... Dresser... Shelves... Closet... Floor... DONE! He just moves clockwise. Cut way down on the "I'm done!" when one item had been finished. We'll see if it continues to work, but it was great last weekend. Bathroom, though? He wanted to mop first, before he swept or cleaned sink or toilet. We're working on that one! But I digress. You may want to keep watching... If it's minor - he has enough stress going on. But if not... Or it gets worse... Then I'd be concerned. Not worried exactly, but concerned. HUGS!!! For both you and Wee. [/QUOTE]
