[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 286346, member: 2459"] I agree with Midwest Mom. That's pretty typical for a 9 year old boy. Gross but typical. Maybe you could have him wash (or at least pre-treat) his own underwear so he could see how gross it is? I really don't know what else to tell you other than maybe getting some of those flushable wipes. That might make it easier or more "fun". I know when difficult child first stayed with us (we did what he thought was a respite while it was actually a get to know him visit AND a respite for his previous foster mom) he had underwear/hygene issues. He stayed with us for two weeks and his foster mom packed a weeks worth of clothes. When I gathered his stuff up after the first week so I could wash it, there were NO dirty underwear. None. And he still had 6 clean pair in his bag....soooooo..he was wearing the same pair ALLLLLL week even though he as taking baths. Of course.....it never occured to me to check because who doesn't change their drawers even if it's after a couple of days? :hammer: [/QUOTE]
