[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things I think people are overlooking:

1) bathing can be difficult and frightening for many older people. This may be why they do so less frequently.

2) when they go out people treat them as invisible and less than so there’s less of an incentive to put on a fresh shirt, especially if they are just going to a store.

Oh and 3) they don’t give AF what other people think of them. [/quote]

Yeah probably some of this.  They probably don’t feel dirty since they didn’t break or sweat or maybe haven’t left the house at all, so maybe they think why shower? Same with changing clothes daily.  It probably doesn’t look or feel dirty. Plus older people get more hung up on not running the washer if there isn’t a full load, conserve to lower water and energy bill.  I know my own spouse is 52 and lately he’s been trying to re-wear stuff that seems to me, past time. “But I barely wore it, it’s still clean” gets said a lot. Even when I swear I’ve seen him in it more than just one day [/quote]
