If only he showered more

Being a caregiver can be very frustrating and hard sometimes.  My dad has some habits I just can not seem to break.  For example the eating at the computer, I see some chocolate from his ice cream on the carpet that I am going to have to scrub out in a little bit.  But also his bathing habits are not too good.  He has so much acne on his back, I see and I just cry.  Sometimes when he has to be hospitalized I wonder if they somehow look down at me since I am his caregiver.  I can’t force him to get into the tub, I ask each and every day, I settle for a weekly bath instead of his once a month to every six weeks!!  I guess old habits are hard to break!
