[quote=Anonymous]This is what my parents fight about constantly, according to my mom.

My dad never wants to shower. He took a shower on Christmas Eve but before that, the last time he showered was 14 days prior. My mom keeps track in her phone calendar.  :lol:

He apparently showered 3 times in the whole month of November.

He's not a big guy and doesn't do much to break a sweat, so he doesn't stink. Or at least I've never noticed. He apparently wipes down each morning with a wash cloth and dries off and feels that is more than enough.

They are both in their 70s. My mom brought it up at his last doctor visit and the doctor probed him about it. Was it a fear thing, was it a memory thing, etc. and didn't find that it was anything more than him not finding it necessary to shower often. The doctor said as long as he's visibly clean, not smelly, and has no sores, there's nothing he advises.

My brother is a contractor and renovated their shower earlier last year to a walk-in style shower with a bench. There are also handles. Makes no sense. [/quote]
