[blparent] teen laundry

[Jeri Milton]

	Hi V. No matter what I do or say my step son who is now nineteen
refuses to pick up his dirty socks. Have you ever been around a teen age
boys dirty socks? Nasty things! With my nose working as well as it does I
can find them every time. Under the dining room table, stuffed under the
sofa, under the computer desk and of course in the couch cushions. Oh Ya,
and right next to the front door! So, I started throwing them away every
time I found them. I wanted to pick them up with tweezers they were so
gross! I guess I don't have to do that anymore because he decided to move
out last night. I guess there's just too many rules here for him to handle.
I'm too demanding wanting him to pick up his socks and all. Lol! He was
still living here because he's still in high school and we had an agreement.
Well, now he has his freedom and I hope he can afford socks. 

Jeri

You are more patient than me, I have been known to put clothes in a trash
bag and put them outdoors.

I think someone may need to talk me down. :-) Yesterday in the early evening
I asked my 13 year old for his laundry. This morning I had to get really
insistent and ask two more times. Almost 3 thymes as when he finally brought
it down he just left it at the bottom of the stairs without even letting me
know. I washed his jeans with some of his brothers and finished the load up.
Now a second load is in the dryer and he is refusing to fold and hang them.
He even lied and told me they were still wet when I sent him out to handle
it. I am tempted to put them in a trash bag on the basis that they are
obviously not important to him. It has been over an hour since he lied about
them being finished, so it is not as if I am not giving him time to respond
appropriately.

 

Any suggestions for other responses?

 

 

Jennifer
