When do boys start to LIKE being clean?

[Tinks]

I'm glad my son isn't the only one. But more glad that there is hope!

We went out to look at furniture yesterday, I made him shower before hand but when we got to the furniture shop he was touching everything with FILTHY hands! OMG they were black. His nails have an inch of dirt caked under them! I was so embarrassed.

my brothers were like this... also until they got a girlfriend. I think it helped when i told him he stunk like every day lol.. but i was a mean sister.

... I was like this. Then I got a girlfriend, and equated being clean with making out.

I soon started paying attention to my appearance...

I would think for a 12 year old boy, threatening to jump in the shower with him if he comes out and isn't spotless might be a sufficient deterrent. I know I would have been mortified at that age.
