I am engaged to a man with 3 teen girls, twins that are going to be 14 this month and a 15 year old. One of the twins refuses to take showers (will take one once a month if no one told her to take one). She also throws major tantrums, throwing things at the walls and at people, screaming, slamming doors, destroying her room, etc. She has ADD or ADHD (can't remember which one since all girls have one or the other). Her sisters do NOT do this stuff. If they get upset, they just go to their rooms or let you know. She is a lot like her dad in the shower department and I know that some pre-teens do this behavior (I helped my ex to raise his two from small children to adutls), but not to this extreme. Her mom is threatning to have her move in with us. She would be bored in a few minutes and want to go home. How can their mom, dad, and I help her to see that doing this is not ok, and that she MUST take a shower quite often?
