Well, I would have had strong words with her as soon as she started to smell, way back when.

But then we have that kind of relationship - I will never tiptoe around any issue, with any of my close family members, especially something related to health and hygiene.

So given the way your family communicates, I can't tell whether it's "simply" a falling/dizziness issue or a more deep-seated phobia. I strongly suspect the latter, however.

My rules, my house - if she wants to visit, she has to shower or bathe every day. I would be willing to bathe my mother myself, cut her nails, shampoo her hair, etc, if she could not do it herself in my house.

You have that rule for visitors? That seems so extreme to track your guests showering habits and insist they shower if they haven't.[/quote]

You are willfully misunderstanding me and not looking good in the process, PP.

This is what I would do for my mother if she were so dirty that she smelled really bad and could not reliably wash herself.

Not looking to impress so I don't really care what you think of me. I am just laughing at the thought of you thinking your mother has a phobia so you are going to wrestle her into the shower and force clean her. Because you have rules that she has to shower every day. Just an odd way to live. But entertaining to imagine you wrestling your wet slippery phobic mother against her will, trying to hold her down in the water to get her clean.  [/quote]
