[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of my mom's belongings smell. Her bags, luggage, coats and even gifts that she wraps and sends to us. I don't think she personally smells. I can't figure out what it is.

I have a sensitive nose and I can barely stand it. I can't eat if some of her belongings are nearby. We don't often visit her at home -she comes to us or she'll meet us outside of her home.

But, I haven't found a way to tell her - or even if I should tell her.[/quote]
Tell her.
Mom, I hate to tell you this, but could not live with myself if I did not. I notice a strong and unpleasant body odor on you and your belongings. You may not notice it because you are now nose blind to it.
You probably need to bath more often, daily. Our body chemistry changes throughout our lives and our grooming routines have to change to keep up. Like I said, I hate to have to tell you and I even hesitated doing it but would hate even more that other people notice and no one cared enough to let you know so that you could take care of it.[/quote]
