[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The next time you give her a ride, hand both girls gift bags with a really nice deodorant like Lume and rave about it. They sell Lume at Target now.[/quote]

No. Please stop. It's like AI for deodorant sales is writing some of these posts. Have none of you ever been young? Guaranteed if a parent hands out deodorant in the car, no matter how cute/spa-like/trendy/expensive, all that will likely do is mortify the young teen, strain the girls' friendship, make the mom look like a Karen, and possibly make any school social issues that much worse.

All of these kids just came out of the pandemic, with a much greater percent of their lives socially disrupted than adults have ever experienced. Give them a chance to work some of these things out on their own, and especially for something this personal, within their own families and circles. A friend's mom is not the person to be getting involved in this.[/quote]

Strongly disagree.  The girl may not have pocket money or the means to visit a store to buy deodorant.  Might not know which kind to buy (heck even I get confused with all the choices).  Handing both girls (DD and friend) a little care package is the sweetest way to handle this.  [/quote]

She may not even know that she stinks.

I moved here at 19 from a country where d
 deodorant use is not as common as it is here, and I had to find out from someone rude at work that I smelled bad.

I would have appreciated a friend at school telling me. [/quote]
