He was always really good about showering, but his room was rank! I am not looking forward to that stage with Ethan.

She started shaking all over and her claws came out as she climbed up my body to get away.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015709082153536906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17204128.post-65079360851775526582007-11-09T07:47:00.000-05:002007-11-09T07:47:00.000-05:00CACKLE!At this stage, girls are equally as stinky....CACKLE!<BR/><BR/>At this stage, girls are equally as stinky. Rosie doesn't like taking a shower either, but I got her a bottle of perfume she can use only if she takes one. She LOVES the perfume!<BR/><BR/>I have also accidentally buried my nose in underwear on wash day. I survived. Barely.

The Olde...Jennifer---I should have thought of that! The Oldest loves Peanuts!<BR/><BR/>Pam---I am so glad I am not the only one. The thing I keep thinking of is Dennis the Menace. He hated baths. B.O. smells like rank onions to me, so whenever I smell it at first I get perplexed, then I realize, "oh yes, it is B.O." Now, on my kid, bad. I know!!!! The room? ICK!!! How does it get like that?! Total funk in there! We both need to buy Febreeze or something akin to it in bulk!!!<BR/><BR/>Susie---only you!!! LOL!!! I sniff things to make sure they are clean or not, and in my sniffing frenzy I have been known to accidentally sniff underwear and oh!! Bad mistake. Crack odor. Knock me over. The stench is alarming.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278853060753601322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17204128.post-1460684822854911672007-11-08T21:42:00.000-05:002007-11-08T21:42:00.000-05:00boys are just smelly and that's all there is to it...boys are just smelly and that's all there is to it. my son does not like taking showers either. I wonder to myself how long he would actually go if I did not force him...but no child of mine will ever be grossing anyone out with pit or crack odor....nevereverererewrakserasfhasfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17204128.post-4883159506956786172007-11-08T21:36:00.000-05:002007-11-08T21:36:00.000-05:00My 17 yo boy is not a shower fan as well.

He puts on deodorant once a day because it is required (and he says he does not want to stink any more)but it never occurs to him to reapply no matter the temperature or activity level of the day. UGH! <BR/><BR/>He is much better than a couple of years ago. He went a whole week without showering (even though he was repeatedly asked and said he had). I do not get this.<BR/><BR/>His testosterone levels must be high right now, no matter how many showers he takes, his room always smells and it is clean. He started puberty later and I think he is at high levels of whatever, right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17204128.post-32223882737185518432007-11-08T20:38:00.000-05:002007-11-08T20:38:00.000-05:00Pigpen. That's what you may have to start calling...Pigpen. That's what you may have to start calling your oldest. The combination of the gnats and the stink leaves no other logical choice. ;-)<BR/><BR/>(I have a couple of kids who hate showers too, and ugh, the stink. I hope they outgrow that.)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058477338395836750noreply@blogger.com
