I posted a while back about my stepson not washing and 7 months later I still have this problem. I've talked to both his dad and him 'til I am blue in the face and although the showers start they soon stop again. This is frustrating me to the limit and I'm questioning my relationship with my OH. My thinking now is basically to tell stepson it's been 7 months and we're still at square one with the non washing so from now on I am going to run you a shower every evening - I feel uncomfortble even saying this to him, he's 17 and a half! Is this the best way to go as talking makes no difference! He also doesn't appear to own any underwear and it's the same pair of socks in 7 months for washing, that is it. He doesn't wash his hands after using the loo nor does he brush his teeth, basically, there is no personal hygiene. I can't fathom it out as his dad is never out the shower! Anyone got a good solution so I am not banging my head against a wall every week??? What's upsetting me also is the fact I am having to raise this all the time when I think his dad should be sorting it out.
