Today, I had to have a discussion with my 54-year-old mother about showering. She thinks it's perfectly OK to shower only once a week. FML

That's how often they shower in france. Of course...that's why they invented perfume

Nice stupid and old stereotype! We're not in the 17th century anymore. Time to move on...

We have a female roommate and I have noticed the same thing with her. She goes a few days without showering and then when she does she is in there for almost 2 hours...and she works in a warehouse. I shower even if I don't leave out of the house all day. I just don't get it!

Now that's what I call, a sticky situation.

I'm curious to know whether this is a new thing for your mother??? Has she always skipped showers? I think there may be more to this... Hmmm

Old people don't have to shower as much as younger people. I work at a nursing home and most of the old people get showered twice a week, some prefer to only shower once a week.

Do the elder get a tin cup to bang on the door after you're done hosing them down for the week?
