The article discusses the hygiene habits of the author's 31-year-old brother, Jake, who showers infrequently, only every three to four days. The author expresses concern over this lack of personal care, particularly since they live together and Jake is a teacher, potentially introducing germs from his students. While Jake maintains some cleanliness through deodorant and dental hygiene, the author reflects on the family upbringing that emphasized daily bathing. Although hesitant to pressure Jake directly, there's an underlying worry about his hygiene standards and the overall cleanliness of their shared living space.
Jake, my 31-year-old brother, showers only twice a week, raising concerns about his hygiene and its implications for living together.
Despite wearing deodorant and brushing his teeth, Jake’s infrequent showering, every three to four days, is unsettling, particularly since he’s a teacher.
Growing up, we learned the importance of hygiene, but Jake, living alone for a while, seems to have dropped the habit.
Though I don't want to nag, I'm concerned about the possibility of germs he might bring from work and general cleanliness in my space.
