[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 77561, member: 1233"] been there done that. WAAAYY too many times. Of course, my mom says that too. For about 3 years she used to LICK MY ARM to see if I used soap. Any non-clean, non-soap taste was immediately sent back to do it again. And the next day I had extra chores. I had to threaten to lick my difficult child and he would go back in. Of course, with a little bro who is 8 yrs younger, well, some things get yelled back and forth. I can remember sending difficult child back in to shower, with soap, and rinse the soap off, and dry his body, and get his ..... You get the picture. About the time I sat down from shooing him back into the shower, along comes 2yo thank you. 2 yo thank you starts yelling at the bathroom door (to 10yo difficult child), "USE SOAP", "WASH YOUR TINKY PITS", "YOU NOT OPPOSED TO TINK!" Luckily difficult child was in a good mood that day, so we all got a chuckle out of it. I would recommend trying to find out if bar soap is better for him, or if liquid soap is better, if one brand has a different texture, or whatever. We did eliminate a whole lot of wars by letting each kid pick what soap they wanted, and then they had to use it or I would wash them with my soap (one they did not like, but was not at all unsafe or hurtful!) We had the same toothpaste battle, with full blown rages over it. This is part of the reason we did not invest in braces for difficult child. He would not take care of them, so why waste the $$? Now the kids bathroom is a mess (read disaster) but it is mostly just stuff spread all over. Each kid has a shampoo (or 2), their own toothpaste, their own everything. It is the only way to keep any sanity. Hugs ( and some Right Guard for those pits!) Susie ps. Maybe you could rent a neighborhood toddler to yell at him throguh the bathroom door? The yelling worked for us (2yo yelling, NOT us!) Susie [/QUOTE]
