My 12 year old son is a lazy slob. I ask him to clean his room and he goes in there and goes to sleep. Makes excuse after excuse not to do anything I say. The bathroom he & his sisters share was horrible. Towels on the floor, towlet paper on the floor, just a horrible mess to hard to discribe. He acts as if he doesn't care about anything. Punishments? Oh I've done everything but go to jail for abuse. He has been without his Playstation 2 for months, no T.V., & no friends over to play. I just don't get him these days. I'm not asking him to clean 24/7 but as long as he grips and tries to make excuses it ends up taking up all his time and he goes to bed with the room still a mess. My parents instilled fear in me and with that came respect. In this time and age what my parents did to discipline me is concidered abuse. If I can't correct this now I am afraid of the problems he will have in the future. Please any advice is appreciated!
