Not bathing kids more than once a week is insane.

I didn't say "not more than once a week", I said "sometimes weekly is enough". So at least once a week. At least. Big difference.

But daily isn't necessary, in fact probably more harmful than good unless they're really muddy or soiled themselves in other ways.

Our kids keep clean. Wash hands before and after each meal, after coming home from outside, etc. Winter time is here so they have warm clothes and play in the snow, so no dirt.

I work as a developer, lots of time sitting still. Mostly just shower after exercising at the gym a few times per week. That's enough. Otherwise no smell.

It definitely ain't me stinking lol.

Okay? Thought you said you "reek" after 1 single day of "doing nothing"? Which is it? Will you reek or won't you reek? You might have some hormonal issues that make your skin smelly. Might want to look it up.

Good luck! ๐Ÿ‘
