When do boys start to LIKE being clean?

my brother used to have this caked on dirt up the side of his face that he would never wash offproperly, it was grose, he was about 12 too now he is still a sloppy kind of person so sorry.

all boys go through is stage and it can last for quite some time you will find that one day he may wake up and become a clean freak lol it usually goes from one extreme to the other but yes it is very important for 12 year olds to be clean.

Gross - I'd get your DH to stand in there and shower him properly each night until he can learn to do it on his own like a big boy

My nephew went through a stage (same age) that he refused to change his underwear or shower. Sis had to get my dad to come over and tell him off.....
