I Think Personal Hygiene Is Important

It's important for your own health, but even more important when you live with other people that they do not have to put up with your poor hygiene and body odour 😟

Little girls may be made of sugar and spice, but it also seems that they are allergic to soap and water. We wage a daily battle to persuade the 9-10 year olds in our house to shower and change their clothes when they need to. It is good that young girls are not afraid to run about or get their clothes dirty, but that does not excuse them from taking a bath when they need it 🙄

It's interesting how little kids, male and female, see no need for clean clothes or soap and water a bath, wash their hair or clothes at all for that matter.

@jackson55 It's horrible when you have to live with them 😟 We round up all the girls who haven't washed at the end of the week and shove them in the shower. They are not allowed out until they are sparkling from head to toe 😬

[@ I've never encountered that but there was a time when I thought my grandkids, two girls, we're headed that direction.

@jackson55 I think I was like that once. We grow out of it.
