Half term - just over half way through and I can’t wait til he goes back to school. Woke up this morning with a headache - stress related (works tough as well), and went into the bathroom, smelly wee on the seat which I didn’t check before sitting down. Put foot in wee too. Clean it, clean me, nag at DS 12 (13 in summer so Y8) and go downstairs. He has obviously already done a raid though this morning - bits of food over the kitchen tops, bin trying to close (it’s one of the electric opening ones) with a wrapper still half hanging out which just needed a push down, and he’s obviously made a hot chocolate because the drips and debris in evidence. I go back to his room and open the door to tell him off again and remind him to clean up after himself and I’ve had enough and the smell coming out of room is awful - so a rant comes out - open your window, have a shower (which you know will mean water and towels and old boxers on the bathroom floor) and clean up this bloody mess! My daughter (older) was always so clean! He is just disgusting!! Yes he does have some special needs (ADHD, DCD etc) and I give consequences - he’s limited on electronics, we’ve gone out for two days this week for activities for him and are out again today to London with tickets for BGT semi final tonight and he wants a new game - and I’ve said no you are not getting it until this room is tidy and you don’t leave things in such a state! What else can I do? Are all near teens boys like this?!
