My SD14 lives w/ us FT; her room and BD12 room is off the kitchen; Boys are upstairs......anyway! SD's room stinks - I don't mean like a teenage room; stinky clothes and socks etc......I mean like she is spraying something or has a plug in. Now if it was BD room; I would just fix the problem; take it out or something (BD has enough respect not to be rude). I/we have asked SD to please stop using whatever it is and to keep her door closed; I am not kidding at all it is so strong that I feel like I am actually eating it when I am in the kitchen.
Yesterday SD was at her BM's for once so DH told me to search her room.........so I went in and of course SD walks thru the door! I felt like I was the kid going to get in trouble; really!! I ran out and she caught me! she glared at me like she was going to kill me!! DH just walked out of the room. Then he couldn't understand why I was pissed!

I said......."last time I checked it was MY house!"

Not 10 minutes later I came down the stairs and was smacked in the face w/ the same sh** smell. I told SD to please close her door; of course DH started to scream at me......and told me to shut up about it already!

I was so pissed - I couldn't help but to say....yep, SD is in her room w/ a big grin.... so happy that you told me not to dare tell her what to do!!

Why do they give these kids so much power!!

I just feel like it isn't even my house; like I have to walk on eggshells around her! I try so hard and have for the past 10+ years...........It is just not working..... Sad

It's your house, search the room and throw the offending item out, if its making you that sick. Oh and make her open her window to air out the odor.

Her windows only open 2 inches.......we were sick of her sneaking out!! :jawdrop:

Why on earth is your dh screaming at you? Especially since all you did was ask her to shut her door? I would ask her to please remove whatever it is that stinks so bad in there and to do it now-before you find it necessary to trash everything in the room in an attempt to remove teh odor. Then I would tell my dh that if he had anything to say about it-he better think twice or he'd find himself a lonely man.

Completely agree. I would take everything out of her room and it would be in boxes in the garage...At least the odor would be out of my house....

:jawdrop: I can't believe he screamed at you after HE told you to search her room. I would walk in there while she was in the room, find the stench and throw it out. It IS your home and she's a kid..she doesn't make the rules.

You have a bigger problem than the stink, though. Dh needs to get a backbone. I hate the walking on eggshells thing. I would be more mad at DH for not backing you up.

Thats what my BF would do too. He would yell at me. I feel like skid's room is a shrine and I am not allowed to enter. The skid's furniture cost more than some people's car. Only the best for a kid who can't appreciate it. Anyway, I go in there when skid is gone, because it IS my house, and if there is anything vile in there, I deserve to know. Nothing yet fortunately, but he is only 12.

I have to wonder if your SD is smoking something that she doesn't want you to smell? If I was you, I would tell her that the scent is giving me migraines. I would say the same to hubby. Then lie in bed with a good book or a good TV show. Pamper yourself and blame your headache. Tell your hubby that "gee, I would really love to have sex with you, but that smell has given me such a headache." That should get him on your side!

Every Other Week End.

I like the migrane approach "I felt like making your world rock but the smell.. OMG! I think I am going to throw up..!"

If my dh yelled at me like that just b/ HIS dd room stinks HE will be shown where the curb is!You have to stand up for yourself and IF your dh chooses to leave then he didn't love you the way he should!

I agree; thanks all!! DH is mostly my problem! he tells me to go ahead and do things; but when I don't do them "the right way" he back pedals.....and SD knows this and she uses....I have full range of my whole house except for princess room!! I hate it; it makes me hate her.......Sad to say because I KNOW it may deal w/ her but it's DH I can't stand..........
