[quote=Anonymous]I think the note is really inappropriate and those kinds of notes never go over well. I agree that your mom sounds unwell. I would sit down with her after the kids are in bed and say that you're really worried about her. Offer to help her bathe, brush her teeth, and do a load of laundry for her. If she declines or refuses, say you're very concerned and need to take her to the Dr if she's not able to care for herself. Be concerned. Don't be angry. If she really is just refusing for some weird, personal preference reason rather than a mental illness or physical incapacity, then you being so concerned about her health should help her understanding that her behavior is alarming, and indeed noticeable (ie - smelling). You don't have to directly tell her she smells - if you're concerned with her inability to care for herself, that acknowledges the smell without insulting her. [/quote]
