This situation suggest one of two causes, although there could be other explanations.
- The battery is nearing the end of it's useful life [almost worn out], or...
- There is some kind of fault in the vehicle's electrical circuits that draws a lot of battery power even when the ignition is turned off.
You need to have a qualified automotive electrical Technician troubleshoot the entire wiring system of your vehicle, identify the defect, and properly repair it.
