Every teenager worries about how they look or smell, but it’s worse when the criticism comes from home.
One teenager mom’s constant remarks about her hygiene made her start doubting herself.
So one day, all of the pent-up hurt and frustration finally boiled over — and it wasn’t pretty.
Keep reading for the full story.
AITA for yelling at my mom to leave me alone after she kept saying I stink even though I shower twice a day?
So basically, my mom is constantly telling me that I (F16) “stink” or that I need to shower — even when I literally just got out of the shower.
But this teen makes sure she cares for her hygiene, so she doesn’t understand where her mom is coming from.
I shower twice a day, once in the morning and then again after practice. I use deodorant, and I wear perfume.
It’s gotten to the point where it’s making me really insecure. I’ve even asked my friends — as early as fifth grade — if I smell bad, and everyone says no.
Her mom keeps on making her feel like she’s crazy.
But my mom just won’t stop. Sometimes it’s right after I’ve showered — she’ll say, “Did you shower? Well, it doesn’t smell like it. You need to take another shower.”
Sometimes she even bends down to smell me, and it’s so stupid and infuriating.
So finally the teen lost her cool on her mom.
The other day, she said it again, and I finally snapped. I yelled at her to leave me alone and told her she’s making me feel terrible about myself.
My dad says I overreacted and that I should have just ignored it, but at this point, I just want everyone to leave me alone.
AITA?
This outburst was way overdue.
What did Reddit think?
She might not stink, but maybe something else does.

Maybe it’s time for her mom to visit the doctor.

There’s definitely something strange going on here.

Maybe her mom means she smells in a different kind of way.

She’s done apologizing for something that isn’t even true.
If her mom wants to keep sniffing around, that’s on her.If you liked this post, check out this story about an employee who got revenge on a co-worker who kept grading their work suspiciously low.
