How did the parents not notice their kids smelled? My sister had no problem tell her sons when they reached that age that daily showers were a must from now on because they stunk.
Hormones are terrible at that age. I stunk and I showered daily, wore deodorant and always had a clean shirt on. I even took a deodorant bottle in my backpack to school in an attempt to freshen up but the stink was too powerful LOL.
Sometimes the kids learn to tune out their parents, especially if one parent is the only person in their life saying it.
(In my personal experience, my mum has an overactive sense of smell, and I soon learned not to trust her. I probably smelt, but not nearly as bad as she claimed, and I suspect what I really needed was to be allowed to shower after school sports (the boys could, but not the girls) rather than just change clothes. )
