I know you're trying to work within some very particular parenting concepts and I don't know how this would fit in, but if it was my 6 year old girl (you know who), I would simply remove the offending shirt from the equation. Take it, hide it, wash it, mend it, hide it a few more weeks. Sounds not so nice, but sometimes a little person has to be forced to see the other choices available. <br /><br />As for bathing, that's a tough one. I have only had to give one sponge bath to a screaming child. It's not fun, but neither is a really smelly, dirty kid. There was no discussion. I said nothing, just did the job without guilt, harassment, coddling or anything. As a parent, I feel responsible at some point. Good luck!Marenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333568010582764592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807526276766884560.post-23033332127485689802010-01-22T09:14:19.390-05:002010-01-22T09:14:19.390-05:00Yes, I thought it would pass too. It did, for my ...Yes, I thought it would pass too. It did, for my oldest. About age 13! Now he is very particular. :) I'm still waiting and hoping my current 13 year old will start to care. In the meantime, I do feel like I nag too much; but what do you do if you can't even stand to ride in the same car? Really... :P :PLorileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166791195908966149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807526276766884560.post-51668765690038106832010-01-21T14:59:28.423-05:002010-01-21T14:59:28.423-05:00Is it one of the plain long sleeve white shirts fr...Is it one of the plain long sleeve white shirts from some place like Target? You know the ones that are around $4? Maybe you could buy, like, 5 of the same shirt?<br />Or, give her a job in helping with the laundry. Maybe she'll be fascinated enough with the machinery that she'll want to wash clothes everyday! Yeah, yeah, who am I kidding, right?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714907807505392719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807526276766884560.post-12513727038359122132010-01-21T13:39:37.203-05:002010-01-21T13:39:37.203-05:00ah, memories. i remember my favorite shirt at that...ah, memories. i remember my favorite shirt at that age: a striped turtleneck. every single day.Sherry Carpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072058753357920554noreply@blogger.com
