Ok i am close to tears. My son struggles to listen, follow instructions and it is really getting me down. If i ask him to do something ie strip his bed for washing - he just does the pillow cases and thinks that is ok, I have asked him to keep his bedroom reasonably tidy, he doesn't, when i ask him he says, iwill, i promise but then doesn't. I have just had to lay the lay down the law with him again about his bedroom, then I am putting washing in tumble drier and he is throwing sweet wrappers out of his bedroom window. I am not OCD with tidyness but do expect a nine year to be a bit more responsible. His school report came home and it comments about his lack of resposibility for his belongings stating they are found both in and out of school. I am very aware of this as this term he has lost, hood to coat, umbrella, PE kit, school bag, homework book. Last week he came home after non school uniforn day with just one trainer!!!! AARRGGHHH he is nine and I really need some support please xxx
