[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with all the posters and your judgment that MIL is overstepping but I do have a question. Why is she telling your daughter to shower? Is her hair objectively greasy, nails dirty, doesn’t take a shower every day type of teen? Because there is a huge difference between being a tomboy, not being elegant and feminine, and looking unkempt and dirty/ smelly. I am shocked by parents who don’t enforce hygiene. It is part of the basics we need to teach our children, brush your teeth, wash your hair, take a shower every day and keep your room clean. Not saying that is not what you do. But if indeed your teen is letting herself go in the hygiene department then I am team MIL[/quote] Agree. She doesn’t need to wash her hair every day, but should be brushing it daily. She should be showering daily, flossing daily, and using deodorant. I imagine that the type of parent seeking intervention for acne though is also managing those things.[/quote]
