Unkempt 1100 Words You Need Week 34 Day 4

/ʌnˈkempt/ (adj)

untidy and slovenly, not cared for, disheveled, messy, scruffy, disarranged, ungroomed, uncombed, needing grooming, tousled, ruffled

My son and I were always close. My DiL is a few years older than my son and I feel he indulges her. She is spectacularly untidy and in her person seems to have lost all self-awareness about her appearance. She is quite overweight, even allowing for her pregnancy, and dresses in a way that is downright embarrassing. I feel mortified by her appearance sometimes, as she is likely to be wearing clothes that are unflattering and scarcely brushes her hair. What concerns me is the reason behind this. I have been shocked on two occasions recently at her unkempt appearance. (I am as certain as anybody can be that there’s no drink or drug problem, it’s more a generally lazy approach to life.) It’s the same with housework.
