Vic, this is a battle you will never win. I let my son and his hygiene issues go. He is now an adult and he does as he pleases, which is how it should be. He cannot be expected to live his life to your or any other person's standards because he won't. Period. The only thing I ask of my son is that he look and smell presentable when he goes out with me, which he does. I suggest daily showers and sometimes that works, most of the time it doesn't. I would love for him to have short hair, but he prefers long hair with a beard, so I lost on that one. He will wear the same clothes for days, but he is now taking an interest in clothes so I have bought him t shirts with his favorite sports team and roller coasters on them (he loves to ride coasters, the hairier, the better). I will leave you with this, when it comes to hygiene, let others lead him. He will never do it because you nag him...ever. Well, the teeth thing I would. My son is ritualistic about brushing and using a dental rinse, so I am lucky there. He has good teeth.
