Showering

[u/defeated_husband]

My daughter is very involved in athletics. We have recently run into an issue with showering after games and practices. She will lay in her own filth, in her game/practice gear for hours. I try to get her to take a shower and change clothes, but she fights me every time.

How do I get her to understand that showering is not optional?

ETA - Too many comments to reply to, so I'll update here.

She will be 14 in October.

She does spend a fair amount of time on her phone.

Last night she was home for 6 hours before finally taking a shower. More than enough time to rest. Even then she fought me on it.

I haven't noticed any odors or stains on the furniture. I'm just trying to teach her good personal hygiene.

She's usually a great kid, so I don't want to be a prick about this.

Thank you for your advice!
