[QUOTE="klmno, post: 258685, member: 3699"] My 2 cents here. Foot odor is VERY common for boys this age. I could smell difficult child's shoes from 15 feet away- and it smelled like something dead. If Manster will use powder in his shoes, it will help. As far as the real issue, I think I would talk to Manster when no one else is around and assure him that this is a common thing- he can probably notice other boys "smells" in PE class. I think your husband needs to get on board a little with J. I wouldn't suggest you talking to J directly about this, but if husband could maybe say something like "yeah, J, your feet stank too when you were this age" the next time J blurts out something like that, it might go a long way, in my humble opinion. So, instead of there being a big "sit down talk" that males despise, I think it might work better to just say something blunt when J does these things. And maybe Manster needds to learn that he can say things like that to J too instead of his parents stepping in when something happens. Manster could just make a joke of it- "yeah- the smell of a REAL man, Grumpy" might work better. [/QUOTE]
