Why did my house smell totally fine until the SS's woke up and came upstairs, and then it smelled like continuous fart? Feel free to answer this question any way you want, but my guess is probably that SS's are disgusting, prepubescent grossness. I do not now, nor will I ever understand why teenaged/pre-teenaged boys apparently take to showers and cleanliness like vampires take to sunlight and garlic. Especially when the father of said boys was OBSESSED with cleanliness when he was their age. Maybe their mom is just a total grosser too and that's where they get it from. Just a guess. Teenagers are the worst.

Haha yes they are!!! :sick:

During one visit with our Skids and two showers for each teenager, they still smelled horrible. Then we took them with us to a friends place and Skids went into the hot tub. The hot tub finally boiled that crap from their pores out.

I thought that too but it didn't affect it and its my DH who cleans it for them every year. We all giggle about it but it is a shame that Skids smell that bad coming from their BM's.

I'm pretty much in the disengagement zone about this...mostly because I'm hoping it'll prevent them from getting some girl teen pregnant, so my position as of now is let them stink. I'm not so much worried about awkward, mouthy SS14, it's SS12 I'm worried about because for some mysterious reason, girls like him. I don't get it, personally, but that, combined with his total lack of self-control, make me very afraid of becoming a step-grandma in my 30's. Hopefully his nasty stench will stave off any female interaction in his high school years.

They're 12 and 14, but they have ALWAYS fought bathing, even when they were little. I made the mistake of casually dropping the old "girls like boys who shower...just sayin'" thing last week when I caught SS14 checking out a girl, and then he promptly showered when we got home, but I think I kind of want them to stink to prevent teen pregnancy. Like, stink so badly that girls won't go near them kind of stink.
