[QUOTE="Fran, post: 42234, member: 3"] Hygiene is a common issue for many of our difficult children. My difficult child goes up and down depending on his mood. Brushing his teeth is a battle most days. We refused braces because he was not reliable with dental care. My difficult child is just not self aware. We work on it constantly. He is getting better but he won't ever be mistaken for someone on the cover of GQ magazine. Have a friend or mentor talk to her about it. Sometimes coming from someone else helps. We have tried to reinforce to difficult child that he has 5 issues to master in order to live independently. 1) hygiene 2)house keeping/groceries/eating 3) finances 4) medication 5)work(even if it's part time) If he can't be counted on for these five basic functions that he will not be able to stay on his own. The apartment is the carrot that I dangle and living with me is the stick. LOL [/QUOTE]
