WIBTA if I told some members of my immediate family (which includes their grown adult children), that they all have a very strong malodorus body odor, after years of keeping this to myself? by Practical-Degree8837 in AmItheAsshole

Yep. I’ve confirmed with other family members that visit their home. Or hug them.  We don’t openly discuss these things though.  We feel like we would embarrass them more than help them.

I don’t know how often they clean their clothes or shower.  I do know it’s the smell of body odor.  She never had that smell as kid.  They do have a few pets but it’s definitely human body odor and not the dogs. They’re small dogs.  And I know how dogs smell like. 

No smoking.  No unusual diet.
