how do I tell her without being mean?

So as some of you may know, my stepsister and nephew moved in with us the day after Christmas. Well things have kind of mellowed out since then, except for we have a pretty big problem. My sense of smell is extremely strong now that I'm pregnant, and for some reason she hasn't taken a shower since last Friday. That's SEVEN days. I don't want to be rude and tell her that she's making me nauseated by sitting next to me because the smell is getting pretty bad, but I really can't stomach it either. I had to physically give my nephew a bath the other day because he was starting to smell. Would leaving her a note saying "hey, how bout taking a shower?" be rude? Because I'm all out of options here.

Dump some soapy water on her while she sleeps shell get the message lol.

I would tell her now but she's currently sleeping..

Omg but rosey, who in their right mind would go around wearing "au deux meatloaf"? That was the worst smelling leftover I could think of.

Dude, I wouldn't even give her two hours. Her kid is in school, theres no excuse for her to not be in the shower right now since she has time. Better tell her before its lunchtime and your nephew gets close to being home

lol, wow.. I wouldn't spill something on her, because what if she doesnt care and still doesn't shower?? Then shes gonna smell like b.o and meatloaf...lol...omg I feel so mean. But hygiene is a huge issue for me, that's just not healthy!! And she is teaching her kid this behavior, I mean 2 baths since the end of last month?!?!?!? God!!!!

lol I'm glad it gave you a good laugh. 10am and still no bath. She's got 2 hours before I say something!
