[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 419621, member: 6705"] Count me in on the list of people that will not curse at their parents. I even feel weird saying obscenities when quoting something someone else has said. Very uncomfortable. Because it was not tolerated. To go along with the "self esteem"... Jett complained and complained that people said he smelled bad. Yet, husband and I consistently had to remind him to bathe. Finally - about 4 months ago - I walked into the room where Jett and husband were watching TV together and said... "Jett, this is how things work. You complain that people say you stink, but you don't want to take a shower. From now on, we're not going to remind you to shower. If someone tells you that you smell bad, it's your problem." ...Still not using deodorant on a regular basis, but I haven't reminded him to shower in quite a while... Except for an early one, once or twice, for something special. [/QUOTE]
