[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I missing something? It is perfectly reasonable not to shower every day - in fact, since your mother has gone through menopause her skin is probably very dry and it is better for her not to shower every day. I understand your bigger point is that she smells, so you need to politely tell her that. Then it is her choice to shower more often, use a body spray, whatever. I really don't understand why you are angry at her, though.  Many older people do not shower every day for a vsriety of reasons, fear of falling being a big one even at 62 - and many people much younger don't shower every day either. [/quote]

At most I only shower every other day. I've been that way my whole life because I hate water.[/quote]
And I hate FUNK -- so i wash up 2 + times a day. Hey, you can bathe as often as you please, but when you funk impacts other people, don't be surprised when you are told you smell. By the way, SEAT STINK can get in furniture and not come out. I don't want to be clean, then sit on the sofa behind you and now I STINK like  your funky bee-hind.
Anyway, OP, your mother may have a medical issue or an emotional/psychological issue or some combination thereof. Talk to her gently about this -- it needs to be addressed.[/quote]
