My 19y.o son (CP19) who is a gamer & works with my partner (his stepdad) & myself in our own business, is suffering from quite strong body odour. Some days it’s worse than others. I have had a talks with him about it and tried explaining about his hormones, sweat, body odour etc. I have also explained to him how to shower correctly & wear deodorant & about clean t-shirts everyday. I have asked him if he knows how to use deodorant correctly, from which I discovered he was spraying it on his t-shirt not on his armpits. My partner is continuously pointing out to me that CP19’s body odour is bad. I have spoken to CP19 on numerous occasions, always alone, & reminded him about using body soap, shampoo & conditioner & about using deodorant. On the weekends he often stays in bed or in his room all day & wont have a shower. I also remind him regularly to put on deodorant & ask him if he is wearing a clean t-shirt. Every time I talk to him about this issue his face goes blank & he stares away from me. I can see in his eyes that he is pissed off about me talking to him again about it. I have told him that if he wants me to stop reminding him all the time or talking to him about it then to do it properly & I will. He has started wearing clean t-shirts most days, but is still putting deodorant on his t-shirt & not showering daily. This has been going on for quite a while & is starting to cause an issue between me & my partner. To start with I put it down to puberty & that he would grow out of it soon, but it hasn't gone away. My partner & I went away for the weekend & CP19 stayed home by himself. Before I left I reminded him to shower everyday. When I got home today he told me he did shower everyday, however his BO was the worst it has ever been. I dont believe that he showered at all over the weekend. I made him have a shower after dinner. I don’t know what else to do to get him to shower & use deodorant. It is causing his room to have a strong BO smell. I spoke with him again tonight & explained (again) why he needs to be showering daily (not just for the BO) & I have told him that I don’t know what else to do to help him. I even asked him if he had any ideas on what else I can do to help him, to which he ignored me. I have now set a consequence that if he doesn’t shower daily I will confiscate his computer. Any advice as to what else to try would be greatly appreciated please ... View more
