[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 250912, member: 3444"] Dealing with similar problem. difficult child 1 DOES shower... FOR.E.VER. And comes out with dry hair because he didn't shampoo. And still smells because he didn't use soap. I can surely guess what he did for 30 minutes... So I've been giving him the "sniff" test. If he doesn't pass, I send him back up to take care of it, and usually the hot water's gone by then so he gets it done quickly. I've tried the carrot, the stick, ignoring it, and he still doesn't get a clue. He's the same way about his school clothes (wears a uniform) -- doesn't notice that he's putting dirty stuff back on instead of clean stuff. I'm hoping, like others have said, that next year or so he'll get his act together when girls are more consistently on his radar. He's noticing them now, but not figuring he has any impact on them yet. [/QUOTE]
