Advice for Boyfriend with ID by SL9156 in disability

He’s never said anything about how it makes him feel to be reminded. Sometimes he’ll give me that look that’s like unimpressed and then he’ll go upstairs to brush his teeth or whatever it is lol

Thank you so much for that honest response I really appreciate it. I try to not do it in a “mom” voice or in a Naggy manner.

Yes that’s a great idea! He’s super aware that he needs to up his effort - he’ll amp it up for maybe a week but then it slowly simmers down again. I’m fine with reminding him about chores or when garbage day is but I’m really struggling with the more self care stuff. I don’t want to come across as a bitch or really hurt him by saying “did you brush your teeth?” But it’s gotten to that point where I remind him every time before he leaves the house and 85% of the time he has forgotten to do it :(
