In fact, my own teeth hygiene routine is under attack. I grew up with sugar, too much of it, and very little brushing. I had a toothbrush, but she still didn't think toothbrushing mattered very much. I ended up with fillings in almost every tooth and in adulthood developed a teeth hygiene routine lasting 20-30 minutes a day. It works but I am harassed, nagged and insulted when I do it when I visit my mother. She thinks tooth decay is a moral failing. Why every little thing has to be turned into a struggle, I don't know. She loves putting people down and feeling superior. So I am always glad to get back to my own home and some sanity.
Perhaps she's also uncomfortable standing in a shower - if you're involved I'm assuming she has some physical or medical limitations or both, so I'm wondering if she's afraid of falling.
There are bath assistive chairs that extend out over the bathtub so she could sit down outside the tub, lift her legs inside the tub and slide over closer to the center of the tub for her shower - she doesn't have to stand to get in the tub for the shower.
