Bad 89 and 85 year old day here.... GRRRR! Nobody wants to be fresh and clean. Why do old folks not want to shower?

 

[NH Homesteader]

Lol!! I don't know, my kid won't let me skip a bath for her. She wants a bath every single night. It's exhausting! Haha.

Making chicken noodle soup, homemade rolls and apple crisp. Too bad it's 82 degrees outside, feels like a meal for the 60's!

I'll bathe your DD every night if you'll do my folks twice a week! LOL!

 

[NH Homesteader]

No offense to your folks but NO DEAL! I don't do adult bathing well.

I had a 16 year old severely autistic student I had to teach how to shower. It was rough. She was also super aggressive and whe would occasionally attack me in the bathroom. Awkward.

Anyway... Lol...

I don't do adult bathing well.

Don't blame you any for that lol! I wish I could still say that, lol.

Sad that no one had taught a 16 year old person to bathe and that it fell on you to do. Sounds like that was a challenge for sure!

She was severely autistic (completely nonverbal) and her parents tried but it was too much for them. The group I worked for at the time specialized in life skills, behavior and self care. So it wasn't abnormal to be doing that.

Ahhhhh, bless her heart. Those situations are so challenging!

I'm great at helping seniors bathe... Just bring 'em on over

 

[frustratedearthmother]

You are awesome! Lemme see how long the drive is, lol.

You guys are all awesome! I can't imagine bathing anyone other than DS, when he was younger…
