[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 198016, member: 3626"] I like the idea of limiting options. She gets to pick a couple of outfits the night before or first thing in the morning. She can change in and out of these as much as she likes but the rest of the clothes are not to be touched. If you can't put them in your room, then they stay in her room but are totally off limits unless you specifically give her permission. If she pulls out more without permission, the clothes she had on go bye-bye permanently and are not replaced. A few times of losing clothes might get the message across, especially when it's a favorite outfit. Then, in the evening, it should be pretty easy to put the dirty clothes in the hamper. Not in hamper, not washed and not your problem. Mine was and is a slob. She didn't change clothes constantly but clean clothes frequently end up on the floor with the dirty ones. I think it was 3rd or 4th grade when she actually wore the dirty clothes for about 4 months because she refused to put clothes in the hamper and I refused to wash anything not in the hamper. To put it politely, she STUNK! I made her sit on a towel in the car because I didn't want the stench to get into the car cushions. At home, she could only sit on her bed. The rest of the house was absolutely off limits. She fnally got tired of not being able to do anything or go anywhere and pcked up all the clothes on her floor so they could be washed on wash day (Mondays at my house). Of course, she didn't pick up anything but the clothes. lol [/QUOTE]
