[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 456978, member: 805"] Janet, you know I love you, but you need to have Billy step up to the plate here. There is no reason why he can't spend 30 minutes each day picking up around the place. The cleaning up after himself should be a given. I think you need to put your foot down on this one. Living with the back pain is rough enough - living in a house where your grown son can't lift a finger to help out is ridiculous! Now, I totally understand that there are a lot of folks who just "don't see mess" like others. But getting the dishes washed, dried (or in the dishwasher), put away and the counters wiped down and trash taken out are small things he can do in no time but HUGE for your pain management. If this is not something that he has ever done regularly, sit down in the kitchen with him and give him gentle direction for a week. That's what I did with difficult child when I was suffering with my pinched nerve (which is 80% better). He eventually caught on and I learned to not expect it my way but appreciate the help I got! Now, he has no excuse not to help out because he knows how :rollingpin: Please Janet, appeal to Billy in the way you feel is best. I wish I were closer geographically to help out......
