My parents smell?

Question

my mother wont wear perfume.
my father just has this natural stink that over powers all of his colonges and after shaves.

i literally sneak up and talk loud to cover the spray sound of my perfumes to put on them.
what the heck do i do!?

i don't want to come out and be like hey you stink.

Answer 1

That's funny. Buy deoderant for Christmas or something. Kidding, maybe the best thing is to tell them they stink. Why do they stink anyway?

Answer 2

Try telling your mom and dad that the soap they are using isn't working anymore and suggest a deodorant soap instead. You might want to do the same for the laundry soap, too. Men sometimes have this stench in their clothes after they sweat that won't even come out in the wash. The smelll just gets worse over time. Some cheaper detergents and washing in cold water leave that smell in the clothes because they never really get very clean. Good luck.

Answer 3

This isn't really a laughing matter.It is embarrassing and can kind of sad.You need to be open and frank with your parents.Tell them how you feel and also let them know you love them .It is much better for you to gently let them know they need better hygiene than a stranger to do so.People are cruel and will joke about your parents,it is heart breaking you need to tell mom and dad,this is probably the hardest thing for you to do.I'll warn you they made become angry as heck at first.Even maybe to ease the problem give them a gift basket full of nice things for bathing. I wish you sincere luck with this.

Answer 4

I would not take a shower for a week or more, Get it to where you smell horrible. Then maybe they will say something. And that will open the communication up.
Or you can get some rancid odor and go around them stinky. Something your mom can't stand. Maybe cigar smoke or smear some poop on yourself. They wil get the message.

Answer 5

If they do not bathe or shower often enough, or if they smoke or drink alcohol, the smell could be for those reasons. Covering them with perfume and cologne won't help in these cases--and may make the smell worse.

Answer 6

Oh boy do u have a problem. the best will be to be honest with them. write a note or sit them down to chat. Ur mom could be allergic to perfume, but there are other solutions to that problem. tell them, before someone else does

Answer 7

Have you tried spraying air freshner and asking what smells?

Answer 8

maybe it's hereditary and you smell yourself.
