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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I actually had to have a discussion with my boyfriend about why he should shower more than once a week. FML
Today, my mom revoked my shower privileges for a week, all because I'm “using too much water.” I'm the kind of person who will smell like garbage after one skipped shower. FML
Today, as the only female manager, I had to talk to a worker about her hygiene. I asked if she had the means and a place to shower. She rolled her eyes and said of course she did, but found daily bathing unnecessary, and that a couple times a month does her just fine. The whole staff would disagree. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because even though I shower thoroughly twice a day, I still stink. My mom showers once a week, never wears deodorant, and smells like roses. FML
Today, I confronted my 18-year-old daughter about her excessively lengthy showers. She said she didn't see the big deal, considering the water "comes free with the house." No dear, it doesn't. FML
Today, I was taking a shower. My mom thinks it's ok to just walk in on someone when they are in there so she decides to take a crap. The worst part is she thought it would be less awkward to talk to me. FML
Today, I got into a screaming match with the mother of my kids. I told her they need to bathe more often. According to her, anything more than once a week is excessive and bad for their skin. My kids play sports and smell like puppies from the pound. She doesn’t care. FML
Today, I had to tell my 30 year-old boyfriend to take a shower, or else he won't for a week. FML
Today, my mother told me to take a quick shower. When I got out, she told me I took too long, and now I have to pay the utilities bill. My shower was two minutes long. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Actually that's not bad for an old person. Twice a week is better but their skin is already so dry and fragile, any more than two showers a week could dry out their skin and cause it to crack.

That COULD be a sign of depression. I have it and when it gets bad simple things like taking care of yourself just seem pointless, regardless of the health concerns involved. You feel like you have nothing to show for, so why bother. So if she's doing that and spending most of her time to herself at home, you might talk to her about seeing a doctor. If she's actually living a normal, busier life and doing that, then that's disgusting.

Showering once a week is not a sign of depression. Showering once every two or three weeks, sure. Also, you need at least 4 more symptoms for it to be depression. Also, it's supposed to be different from her 'usual' habits. So don't talk about things you know nothing about. And showering once a week isn't disgusting at all if you use deodorant. I shower once a week minimum and if I tell people, they say they had no idea.

Can you say schizophrenia!!!

What the hell does this have to do with schizophrenia? No positive or negative symptoms (e.g. hallucinations - being catatonic), not extra aggressive, no cognitive dysfunctions... Yeah. Wikipedia things because you mention them. Trust me, I study psychology.
