ok so my mom smells and we've told her quite a few times now to start caring about it and to wash more and wash her clothes more but she just won't. my friend does our laundry and she said that when she looked at my mom's pants, there was like big poop stains on there. it's like she doesn't wipe. she also takes 1 minute showers which i find not to be enough time. she keeps denying the problem...she won't change and we're tired of telling her and having to smell her all the time. she insists she smells nothing and wipes and all that, but she doesn't. she says she's old enough to know how to clean herself but she's not doing it! is this a mental thing? what should we do if she's not going to clean herself??

Short of committing her to a mental facility where they can hose her down you are unfortunately stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you telling her isn't working maybe you could try an intervention with close family and friends, the embarrassment may do her good in the long run.\n\nGood luck!!

Do you have any type of discharge?  If you do, please have your Mom take you to see a doctor as soon as you can, it maybe a yeast infection. \n\nIf you do not have any discharge, it could be a couple of things.....\n\nMaybe an allergic reaction?  Has your Mom change brands of laundry soap/bleach/softener? How about bath soaps? Have you tried any new foods or drinks that maybe causing an allergic reaction? Or have you taken any meds you have never taken before?  How about toilet paper, is it the same brand always used?\n\nCould be your jeans are too tight (sounds funny but it can make you itchy and uncomfortable if your jeans are 'creeping' up in that area)\n\nAre you having any problem urinating?  burning? discolored urine?  (again I know sounds funny but it could be a bladder or kidney infection)\n\nIf it is none of the above, I suggest having your Mom take you to see a doctor anyway, better to be safe.  \n\nGood luck!!!

Give her prunes and juice that has prune juice, or apple juice.  Also do not make an issue over her going potty, you can actually give her psychological problems and there are certain complexs in psychology that I can not rememeber the name of, off hand.  I think she may have a bowel stricture.  Have you had this checked?  By the way take her to another doctor for another evaluation also.  Maybe go to 3 doctors.  You can also buy infant glycerine suppositories, or give her metamucil with lots of water, they have orange flavored.  I am a nurse and have a psychology major also

Have more bloodwork done,NOW. There is a possibility she is not over it. She can go into septic shock. One of the symptoms is lack of appetite, so make absolutely sure she is through  with it. Also, find out if the medication she was on irritated her throat or possibly gave her ulcers. That happened to my mom. She ended up with 27 ulcers in her throat and stomach. Pleaase have her checked out NOW!

Women cant smell themselves, let her know your concerned.  It doesn't mean she is dirty, if the rest of her is clean.  It could be STD so be careful.  It could also be she is too clean.  Too clean kills off the normal bacteria women need down there to keep the bad bacteria away.  If this is someone special talk to her about it really nice.  Say I love it in that area but you are concerned,  If there is any green moisture its infection.  Use a condom and talk... Also dont do it in a car thats cheezy, may you can wait until the right place comes along

maybe you could turn it around and approach it as saying to her, It would be so embarrassing to smell & have nobody tell me--If I ever stink, please tell me.  also, you could try putting deoderant on yourself while being with this friend & mentioning that you hope this helps keep you smelling fresh.  Just have a heart to heart girld talk.  Tell her about your experience with personal hygiene & what you do, then ask her what works best for her.  Maybe she just isn't taught personal hygiene in her home. Good Luck!

It sounds like your friend has an eating disorder. You can't fix her by yourself no matter how much you care. If she is doing horrible things like forcing herself to throw up after she eats and taking laxatives to make herself go to the bathroom a lot, this is very very serious. Even though she might get mad at you, talk to her mother. It is better for your friend to get mad at you than to die from this disorder or do permanent damage to her body. \n\nDo not tell her, "Stop this or I will tell your mom." She will just hide what she is doing a little better. This is a sickness that needs a professional to treat. She really can't control what she is doing and that is why she needs help. Talk to her mom privately as soon as you can.\n\nYou are a kind and caring friend. Do the right thing.

you should have been more compassionate. Your daughter's feelings are more important than your shopping. Come on. I think any decent mother would have taken her to either get a new pair of pants right away or tried to clean up the stain, and if not then went home. And you should not have made fun of her, in such an embarrassing moment. You oughta be ashamed. I would apologize to her.

You sound like my 13 and 20 year olds.\n\nMoms are a wierd bunch, eh?  I mean, we are always after you to clean up your room, wear longer skirts, less make up, talk less on the phone, do more around the house, yadda yadda yadda.\n\nBut as a mom, no one ever thanks me for making their lunch, cleaning out his rat cage, washing the underwear that you got your period in, driving you to whatever while I wonder if grandma's tumour is shrinking, and worrying if you'll be smart enough to not take a ride from that hot guy who's been drinking at the party that you snuck out to (and told me you were sleeping over at Jen's).\n\nEach of us has our issues, mainly with each of us adapting to our respective roles.\n\nYour mom loves you VERY much - don't you ever forget it.  She is probably feeling like Sh** right now and each of you is as stubborn as the other.\n\nGo to her, and tell her thank you for dinner tonight, smile, look at her for at least three seconds and then ... well see what happens!\n\nHugs,\n"the worst mother in the world", but making progress!

Wow!  Go Mom!  Good for her!  I think that is so great that you're helping her with this.  You say she is in good shape, go to "body for life workout routine" and you will find these body parts for her.  It's much easier to send you there, than to try to explain all of them here, they have pics there too.  \n   Two different ways I would set the workout up for your Mom, so that she will get the full benefit for full body: Mon, Wed, Fri upper body-Tues. Thurs. lower body.  Upper body-chest,back,biceps,triceps,shoulders. Lower body-quads,hamstrings,inner,outer thighs, buns. \n   I would start your Mom out with 2 sets of everything, having her use weights that are challenging, coach her with her breathing so she doesn't hold her breath. If she works the muscle groups this way, she won't need to skip any days Monday thru Friday and she can have the weekend off.  Have her warm up for about 5-10 minutes beforehand so she doesn't pull or hurt muscles that are not ready for the load.  Hope this helps, and is understandable....\nHas your Mom ever taken Yoga or Pilates?  I'll bet she would enjoy this too, these can be found online.  I teach these, and ladies her age are loving it.

This is really mean, but I doubt it is for real anyway. You're a goober, but you make me laugh because you are. You have a SICK imagination.  If it is for real - Tell her that which doesn't kill her will make her stronger.  Let her borrow your son's prank book - she can trip her friends who call her the poop queen.  She should trip you too!

My 3 year old absolutely refused to even go near her potty seat.  We tried bribing her with all of her favorites.  We even offered her ice cream for dinner and that didn't work.  We had to be aggressive and take off the diapers and put her in training pants (thick thermal undies that you can find in the infant and toddler section of stores like Target and Walmart).  The first 3 days were awful.  She peed everywhere but then things changed.  My daughter like most everyone didn't like the feeling of being in wet pants.  She started to go on the potty.  She was trained in 6 days.  I kept her in diapers during her nap and overnight but reinforced that she needed to tell me if she needed to go during this time. I also got in the habit of making her use the potty once she woke up whether she was wet or not.  Once she started waking up dry, I gradually took the diapers away during sleeptime.  First, she stopped wearing them during her nap.  Once she went a week like this, we stopped diapers at night.  It's been good so far but other moms have told me that they can still relapse (even after months of success) so don't get frustrated should this happen.  My daughter has also met her milestones late so this potty training success is really something else!!\n\nGood luck to you...you're a really great sibling to be so concerned and willing to help your brother with this really big event in his life :o)

You need to talk to her mom or comment to her that she is feeding your child at to many fast foods restaurants..Not only can the ordor be a problem but it may cause the child to get constipated and if not noticed can lead to major health problems..She probably smells like pickles because of all the preservatives in the foods she eats not only fast food but junk food, her body is small enough to where she is excreting the smell.\nAnd if it turns out it's not the fast food giving her the smell maybe it is something that is being used to clean the home of the childs Mom, also MOLD can smell like pickles, is the hoome in good up keep??

Wow that is a hard one, I think that your friend should tell her mom that she found the stuff and that she is upset that she is doing those kinds of things. I mean maybe she can get her to go to get help and talk to someone. Maybe your friend can also tell her mom that she is afraid she will die and she will lose her. A little bit of a guilt trip on mom.. Good luck both of you

Get her some help before you wound up being killed.  This is not normal.  I don't know anyone who hits there mom and lives to tell it.  What does your brand of deodorant have to do with getting beat up??  Do you stink?

I guess mothers (over their sons) are really nosy...and in terms of the opposite...protective behavior aside...maybe she's looking into how to make herself feel young again? Not too sure...but either way...my gut tells me you should confront the issue and find out what she's really getting out of it...
