She's such a smart, funny little thing, and a very good kid as well.
But she is so irresponsible and seemingly clueless, that it makes me want to SCREAM!!!
I have to nag her just to: brush her teeth, flush the toilet, put on deodorant, wear a bra, etc. --- basic things that ALL girls her age should be doing independently. But if I leave it up to her, she lets it all go.
We've tried a "chore chart" sort of thing. Didn't work.
I don't believe I should be rewarding her at all for doing these things; these are basic hygiene issues!
She also leaves used tissues laying around all over the house. She has terrible allergies, and blows her nose a lot, but she should be able to throw the tissues into the garbage!!!
Any advice? We're at our wits' end!!!!
