[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another person who thinks that showering every day, especially in someone else's home that has one bathroom, is a heavy expectation for older guests.  If that's what you do, great, but people don't necessarily need a daily shower.  That's not going to make someone smell if they don't take one.

I see that your mother has issues with hygiene, yes.  But you are a big problem here too.  You can't start sniffing someone and examining their hair the moment they walk into your home. You can't play Towel Inspector.  Your mother has a right to her dignity, especially at 62.  And especially in front of her grandchildren.  [b]You need to accept the fact that her hygiene is NOT going to improve at 62.  It's just not, OP.  I'm sorry, but over the next twenty years she's not going to be sparkling clean.[/b]  Either  put up with this or don't have her stay with you.  [/quote]

Disagree.  And plenty of elderly people take baths every day and with incontinence problems, etc. they need to.[/quote]
