[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 653264, member: 11791"] I agree with this. I suspect he either has a mental illness, or a developmental disorder - or both. I'm not even so sure he is doing these things to make people upset. He truly does not "get it". Why shower? (or bath... sometimes we forget to give an option) One of my kids used the logic that 100 years ago, people had one bath a week - so why do we need one a day now? To be honest, I can sort of see his logic, but sometimes we have to conform to "societal norms" - like it or not. (but WHY, Mom...???) For the record: School can really be toxic for some kids - been there done that TWICE. I have kids who can operate fairly well in the work world... but have major problems getting an education. From the school environment, to teacher attitudes (ok, not all of them, but enough to be a problem), to the curriculum itself... [I]school can be totally toxic[/I]. Wish I had a good alternative.
