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.

OMG!!!! Everything you say is getting worse and worse, I would just tell her straight up, **** it!! You are pregnant and have a heightened sense of smell, and she is in YOUR house, that is ******* disgusting that she doesnt even bathe her kid on a regular basis.

nope, he's had 2 baths since being here(since dec 26th), and those were both this week because school started back monday.

Should I just wait it out until the end of the day and then see if she takes a shower by then? I was hoping my mom would say something to her by now, but I guess since she isn't my mom's blood daughter then she feels the same way about confronting her.

I would just tell her cause that's nasty. Plus you said you had yo bathe the little boy, she doesn't bathe him every night since he has school the.next day? That's pretty gross

Id be rude! Its my house that's nasty lol..follow her around with a air fresher and if she don't get it then..be like what's your favorite soap? Mine is_____

Lol I guess I am just blunt cuz I would have just said you smell go take a shower. If you want to be subtle how about "tripping" and spilling something sticky on her lol pregnancy makes me so clumsy
