[QUOTE="Star*, post: 300106, member: 4964"] I will admit that after 19 years I have finally given up the battle of please wash. That's it. I'm done. So join me now. :whiteflag: I figured at some point peer pressure would play a major role in - OMG you are so nasty. You smell like poop, cheese, toots, sweat, B.O., butt, or a combination of all the above and it would drive the masses so far away that even Febreeze or that stuff coroners put under their noses to keep the stench of rotting corpses out of their nasal passages would help. But nae - I pray thee - is my child allergic to soap, wash cloths, water, bath mats, shower curtains, or tile? Did I not try to make bath-time fun with shower crayons, bubble bath, fruit scented shower soap that gagged me? I found myself asking him over and over? Wouldst thou prefer to bathe thyself outside with a hose? ('cause you stink so bad man you are NOT foulin' up our bath) and then we have to consider that there is no amount of Mean Green or CLR that will clean a tub after he's out of it. I mean for the love of laundry - When they did the little Shout, and Oxy clean commercials I used to sit there and cry thinking you guys have NO idea what nasty is. I could wash his clothes twice - and the only thing that helped was 20 mule team Borax. How sad is that? It takes a team of twenty donkeys to pull the stink out of your clothes? Just sad. :frowny: Gee, Haw...giddy up. And dress code? Well - I have to go with Janet on the Hoochie Momma vs. the ROTC drill Sgt. there. Let the chips fall where they may - because I just can't see her marching with a mid-driff and belly jewels while everyone else is crisp - and pleated. So that's one I'd let go. Dude now WILL wash his hands etc. but has chosen to grow his fingernails out so long it's annoying and he stands there and flicks and clicks. Makes me nuts. I swear if he falls asleep? I'm clipping. Nasty. And he purposely points with the longest one. We figure it's a brain itcher. :sick: Hygiene seems to be a battle that we loose no matter how hard we try. I basket B'd it for a long time, Peer pressure took over for a while...depression sets in, he goes back to nasty boy and then I loose the battle all over. I figure if he's happy with himself and isn't riding on my cloth seats? Whatever. IF he does come to the house? I throw sheets over stuff when he's in pig-pen mode.
