You be the judge: my brother only showers twice a week. Should he wash more often? | Life and style

Prosecution: Isla

Jake is a man who grows – he must take care of his cleanliness. Bathing barely a huge route

Jake, my 31 -year -old brother, lives with me temporarily in my apartment. I love him, but I noticed that he had some strange habits. The main thing is hygiene – or its absence. I do not say this to be, but Jake is so unforgettable that he shocked me.

I noticed that first a month after his transfer. I realized that the bathroom looked hard to use so I asked him: “Do you take a shower every day?” He said no, it usually rains every three to four days. This is just twice a week.

I grew up, my mother always admired the importance of being clean and well presented, and we were encouraged to shower daily. My brother lived alone before moving with me, and he was celibate for a while. Perhaps this is why I drop the habit. When I asked him why he was not showering often, he said that he “could not bother” because he does not decrease. This is correct. He is lucky because he does not suffer from body odor. He wears deodorant and brushes his teeth twice a day. It also does not get oily hair or appears unprocessed. Just now I know it’s ease, I can’t know that.

Boot every day – I assume that women are being held according to the higher beauty standards. It is not my work to tell him how he cares about his body, but I don’t like the idea that Jake, who lives in my apartment, has not been washed for half a week. He is also a teacher and I feel annoyed by the possibility of bringing germs to my home from non -washing children who wander every day.

I don’t want to look for example – I am not his girlfriend or his mother – but I want him to get it, as a sleeping man, who needs to wash it a lot. I think most people will agree that twice a week is not enough. I don’t want Jake, but maybe a little shame will help him see the feeling. Our fathers live far away, and I will not deal with it because we have a good relationship and the living situation is generally peaceful. However, it is not the Victorian era. I have a beautiful bath. Jake needs to clean his action.

Defense: Jake

I am not dirty, I do not smell, so what is the problem? In addition to washing exaggeration is bad for your skin

I hate to look like a cranium, but I don’t think it is necessary to shower every day. The eccentric contact me but I have better things to do. Especially when I smell.

I take care of my clothes well and put a deodorant every day. I also do not sweat much on a daily basis unless I do sports, which I do twice a week-and I will always be released after that. It is only if I do not exercise, or have you just reached home from work, I will not usually take a bath.

There is no time to shower daily. In the evenings, I am very tired, and in the morning I am faster than the door to school. If I do not exercise, I will bathe every three to four days. I don’t really see a problem with that. My hair never becomes greasy and I think all of this is due to its inconvenience.

Yes, I am lazy and see the shower as a supply. Our mother is very clean, so I don’t get it from her, but when my father was working full time, he was always complaining about bathing and said it took a lot of his time. He may have inherited his hatred for bathing.

I also think it is good to leave the natural oils of the body sitting on your skin. Excessive laundry is worse because it takes them out – I read it somewhere. I also think your body is largely complaining about. ISla should be happy because low shower frequency helps keep water bills – it pays most bills because it is her apartment.

I think living on my own for a few years made me less aware of the strangeness of not showering every day for some people. I feel that she took this issue and ran with it. Is any of her business really embarrassed? Isla is concerned that I may bring germs home from school, but I am always sure of turning into pajamas or unofficial wearing when I enter and wash my hands before cooking.

I don’t get any other ILA complaints regarding us we live together, so it’s not as if you were a dirty person. Bathing looks like a great routine work for me.

The jury for the readers ’readers

Who is transferred to cleaners?

Although I sympathize with ILA, she needs to accept it cannot control the actions of those around her. Therefore, it is difficult as it is, it needs to be learned to allow it to leave. Given that Jake is not unhealthy or smell, it should not affect her much anyway.

Jake needs to shower often. It is an ISLA apartment and also makes it uncomfortable. Jake’s arguments are nonsense. Everyone has time in the morning or evening to shower.
Andrew, 31

The use of Isla for “Brothher Little” and “Tattle on it” says. It is clear that she cares about you, but she is concerned without reason. She says Jake does not smell and serve well, so what is the problem? Change your clothes after working and washing the hands is sufficient.
Chloe, 33

Jake has no problems with odors or unconsising vision. He lives there temporarily so that ILA does not have to withstand a longing for a long time. And why do you assume that the children in his school are “not washed”?
Rose, 61

If Esla says that Jake has no smell, it is likely that he does not do it – the brother notes. But using a lot of sweat remover is not perfect; Fast washing appears in days when it is not healthier. I claim that it is not guilty because ILA does not have to touch Jake. If her partner, he will be very guilty!
