Hi ladies

My son turned 15 the end of Feb. And I'm at my wits end

He doesn't brush his teeth, he just chews gum and refuses to brush his teeth

He doesn't shower everyday he only showers about 2 times a week. He just sprays loads of deodorantand refuses to shower

He wears the same clothes and never puts clothes in the washing basket for me to wash

Help!!

Sounds like my 9 and 4 year old.. but he shouldn't be doing that at 15. Get him into a routine and if you have to then just baby him, tell him that he has to do it simple as, watch him brush his teeth every morning, make sure he gets in the shower at least 3/4 times a week, he'll understand that if he doesn't do it himself he will be babied and he won't like that either.
