My 12 year old son doesn't brush his teeth. Gives me a very hard time about showering (which I think he should be doing nightly but he says he's too tired). I have bought him deodorant and acne cream but he doesn't use them. Any advice?? (Besides shipping him out to a dorm and letting the other boys roast him lol)

It’s very typical. When I would tell my son to shower he started crying. Later on it went to negotiation- tomorrow or soon or never lol. I used to put the deodorant in his shoes so he’s remember to use it. They’ll figure it out....
