DD1 is 11. We have a special day today.
She's covered in ink/pen. Her hair is so greasy it looks wet.
We've been at logger heads since 8 this morning for her to have a shower. She point blank refuses.
Short of dragging her in the shower, how can I make her wash? She just doesn't seem to care about her personal hygiene or her appearance.
Her excuse this morning is I've already combed my hair and I'm not doing it again.
I'm ashamed to say we've been screaming at each other. I just don't know what else to do
Her not coming out today isn't an option.
Shall I just take her smelly and dirty? She doesn't care so that's not a punishment.
We are going for a nice lunch then the theatre with a friend that's paid for it and travelled 200 miles to see us.
