    Is she pregnant? lol When I was pregnant I could smell EVERYTHING. The only reason I could think of for her rude comment would be if she is pregnant and the "smell" makes her nauseated. Not that it makes it ok.

    I ws never a good smeller...I was a "hear a pin drop" person, so I'd have to physically check each bum every so often to see if they pooped. Now I'm like a hound dog! It's gross

    That's incredibly rude and also my worst nightmare. I am always worried how my house smells when dcps arrive for pickups. i don't want it to smell bad.

    Sometimes my hubby comes home and says the house smells like wet chicken or something bad. I know that sometimes I am simmering something on the stove and it can make a strong smell when people walk in.

    I also try to air out throughout the day and make sure bathroom fans run a few minutes after each child is in there.

    I would have been mortified. I guess she felt she was being helpful by telling you but I can imagine it would be really awkward and feel horrible to hear.
