Son's friends smell bad!What 2 do?

KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/07/14, 11:40 AM My son has just turned 9 and has developed body odor.I got him started with deodoerant..but what do I do about his little friends???I have 5 little boys that come over here on a daily basis and couple of them smell AWFUL!!!My son's room gets to smelling like a rotten onion patch,then the smell drifts into the rest of the house.I put an air freshener in his room but it does little to mask the stentch!I'm avoiding asking my husband what to do,he'll just tell them to go home and shower and they can come back when they don't smell so bad...he can be a little blunt.But I don't want to embarrass my son or his friends,their good boys and fun to have around.But they smell SOOOO bad.Any body ever had this problem?How can I handle it without humiliating these kids?? Thanks!!!!:)

The best way I think to handle this is to tell your son how you feel and let him approach his friends..Tell your son,that his friends,have developed body odour and its bad...make a joke out of it...If they dont learn now,then can you imagine the teasing they will get when school starts or later on as teenagers?
