[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother lives in FL. I usually visit 5 long weekends a year. I have my own bathroom there so don't pay attention to towel usage etc. She came and stayed with us from a Tuesday through Sunday and didn't shower once. She doesn't smell bad or pile on perfume, but I can't imagine its healthy to go that long. I know she washes her face and applies a little fresh make up. Her hair and clothing look nice. Her skin doesn't look terribly dry that she is avoiding it. How can I approach this without making her uncomfortable? [/quote] Her skin may not be terribly dry because she is not showering more often. If she doesn't smell, then she is cleaning herself enough. Does she use wet wipes? She may do a light sponge bath.
