[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can completely relate.  My Dad does not shower everyday either.  However, after the 2nd day both my mother and I tell him to take a shower and he does. He also is not very good at brushing his teeth, or brushing at all so, last time they visited I told him to take off his denture and I soaked them over night and brushed the heck out of them the following day.  I told him that I can't have a conversation with him because his breath smells and that he should be setting an example for my kids to brush their teeth as they have already complained that Grandpa's breath smells.

People have weird smells and I get that.  Currently my FIL is visiting and the has full reign of the bathroom in the basement, thank goodness because I went down to spray it down and clean it as we having a get-together this weekend and it smelled, so I just bleached everything down in order to make it smell fresh.  One of the smells is he's been using the same towel for a the last 4 days he's been here and it's on the floor with his clothes, I just grabbed everything and did the laundry, I couldn't stand it especially, since I have to clean for company this weekend.

I'd say confront your Mom, it will make you feel better and maybe you may find out something, as a PP mentioned it could be psychological. [/quote]
