I ask my son (11) to have a shower every night before a school day. This leads to lots of huffing and puffing and occasional temper tantrums.
To be fair, I remember my brothers at that age were required to have a bath every Sunday and only "a good wash" at the sink in between.
Have our perceptions changed of what constitutes acceptable levels of cleanliness or am I just being unreasonable?
