[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 398734, member: 3388"] DF, First, I'm really glad your DS's knee surgery went so well and he is doing great!!! Really wish I had the answer to why difficult children always have to make life so much more difficult then it needs to be too!!! I can relate to the dirty undergarments. When difficult child 1 was in middle school and the first couple years of high school, he didn't care if he showered, changed his clothing, underwear, combed his hair, etc... We used to have to force him to use deodorant/antiperspirant. We used to force him to take a shower. Although we could hear the water running, I doubt most of the time he even stepped inside the tub. He used to come out with dry hair. When we asked him about this, he just said his hair dries really quickly. Believe me, I know how much this rots!!! We didn't have to worry about him dating even when he was hypersexual. He was glued in front of his computer 24/7. His psychiatrist used to say that his computer was his "date." I wouldn't have been surprised to see him take his computer and place it on a chair across a table from him in a restaurant, lol... He will have graduated from high school two years this June. SURPRISE - He now showers!!! He's even had a girlfriend... If we could just get him to do something with his hair, lol... OK, I'm not pushing for miracles... Sorry!!! Haven't been around all that much lately and wasn't familiar enough with your situation when I first responded.

I have to run - Time to pick up difficult child 2 at the library but I didn't want to leave my post the way it was originally written. Thinking of you... SFR [/QUOTE]
