I just read something that made me :rofl: but then thinking about it properly really got me pondering.

Do you think it's selfish to bath/shower everyday. Do laundry and clean everyday????? Reading it I thought it was a really odd thing to say. The writer said they shower every four days and wear the same clothes for a week sniffing their clothes and underwear to make sure they are clean, and thinks it's selfish that people wash their children daily :wacko:. The reasons for this is that people who do this are speeding up the death of the Earth. I imagine with detergent/soap flowing into seas and rivers etc etc and not to mention the wasting of water.

I shower everyday and LO is bathed every other. I do a couple of laundry washes a week (I tend to save it up as we have soooo many clothes). I clean the bathroom once a week intensively and keep it clean with a quick wipe down daily, same with the kitchen.

So does anybody else agree that being a clean freak is selfish to the Earth? I've never thought about it until reading somebody write it. This person is from a far away land by the way. Nobody on here!
 
I think it is selfish to the people around you if you don't wash every day - pooooey!!!
 
i bath every SINGLE day religiously because im OCD about it!
 
I have a shower every morning and some nights I have a bath too.......... :rofl:

Uh oh..
 
Amelie gets bathed every other day too but if i missed 2 days out i dont think she'd suffer for it. I wash my hair every 3-4 days and shower everyday :shrug:
 
I see where the writer is coming from; but realistically people have to clean themselves every day. Cannot stand when smelly people sit next to you on the bus:sick:
 
lol thats so funny! i don't think it's always necacery but i don't think it's selfish.

if we stay inside all day and LO just sits and plays with hiis toys etc I see no need to give him a bath when he's had one yesterday.

however i do have to admit in the summer when i get hot i have tons of cool showers
 
i shower and wash my hair every 1-2 days and my youngest gets bathed every day (he has very bad eczema and needs the creams washed off and reapplied every day) and my eldest every 2 days but i bath them together.

tbh im not a big believer in the whole climate change thing. i mean the world goes in cycles, heats up really hot then cools down alot then starts to heat up again. thats how the dinosaurs died out and i dont remember seeing anything about them flying long-haul, driving gas-guzzling 4x4s or washing every day!

:wohoo: I have found somebody else who doesn't wash their hair everyday. Hallelujah!!! I am mixed race and got my dads hair which used to be a very hard to manage afro :nope: My hair needs my natural essential oils and if I wash my hair daily it's strips my head of these and makes it soooooooo dry! Plus the fact it takes me 2 and a half hours to wash, condition, dry and straighten my hair. Where would I find the time to do that everyday :shrug: I'm sure my friends think I'm weird not washing my hair everyday :wacko:
 
I don't wash mine everyday either:) I leave it 2 or 3 days. Too muh palaver to blow-dry and straighten every day!:haha:
 
I wash my hair everyother day but shower once a day. The kids get done everyother and washed on days they aren't bathed. I don't know wether it's selfish on the planet but I couldn't bare to smell :sick:
 
i bath my girls every 2days...i have a shower or bath everyday and we always change our clothes daily sometimes twice haha...i wash my hair every 2days too
 
I shower and wash my hair every couple of days but Honor has a bath every night as part of her routine. Also, she is in such a mess from dinner I couldn't send her to bed like that lol!!

I have a wash down of the essential areas every day though. Don't want a fishy gusset. ;)
 
My hair and skin is soooo greasy, if I didn't wash every day I'd look like Vikki Pollard!
 
Dead skin cells and clothes harbour bacteria. Its not good to be sitting in your own gunk, kim and aggie would agree! :D
 
LOL!!

i shower daily, sometimes morning and night if its been hot or ive been exercising etc...LO is bathed daily too..

I like to be clean if that makes me selfifh then Oh well :haha:

i clean my house daily as i have OCD so i prob destroy the planet through that...NOT
