[quote=Anonymous]You mother should not need to shower every single day to avoid getting smelly, which makes me think she has some sort of undiagnosed issue. Does she smoke? Does she has chronic lady problems? Does she use deoderant or is her skin uber sensitive and therefore doesn't? Does she has any sort of skin condition that could create odor quickly?

Now because you're quite sure that your mother lied about taking a shower, I sense some sort of deep psychological issue. Do not leave her a note, but try and have a open, sensitive conversation with her:

"Mom, I want to talk to you about something that might make us both uncomfortable. I've noticed for quite some time now that you seem to avoid bathing. I hate embarrassing you but I need you to know that your lack of bathing results in odors that I've noticed...and honestly, the kids have noticed too. So I wanted to try and understand why it seems you avoid bathing. Is there something that stops you? I love you so much but I'm concerned for you."[/quote]
