My dad doesn't really brush his teeth or wash his hands?

Question

It really grosses me out. He has bad breath because of it and I can hear that he doesn't wash his hands after he goes to the bathroom.

I'm no germaphobe, but it makes me cringe when people don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

Is there something I can do about this, without being too awkward?

Answer 1

Teach your dad to get back into the swing of normal stuff.

Good bonding session.

Answer 2

Your dad should hang out with my dad.My dad refuses to wear deodorant:)

Answer 3

You could always put hand sanitizer in the bathroom, it's quick to use, and might get rid of  most germs. However it wont take off the dirt. They have gum he can chew, or mouthwash he can swish around for a little. But its pretty bad hygiene not to brush your teeth because you can get tartar and plaque build up. Maybe confronting him about it, might do the trick. You never know.

Answer 4

Well just make sure it doesnt seem obvious whatever you do. When you hear him finish using the bathroom ask him if he washed his hands. If he says no more than likely he will go in there and wash them. also at night and in the morning make it noticed that you brushed your teeth then tell your family its their turn. if this doesnt work tell your dad whats bothering you and tell him what kind of effect it has on other people around you and how they see him because of the problem. by the way this is my first question that im answering so i hope it helped

Answer 5

just tell him to do it

Answer 6

Your dad sounds a lot like my "dad." I'd just tell him how it makes you feel, because that's seriously gross that you have to deal with it.  If he still refuses to do anything, just use your foot to flush the toilet from now on to avoid more germs, and wash your own hands frequently. =/
