Not really aibu but didn't know where else to post!
We met our DS (10) new best friend for the first time yesterday and she came over for an hour or so. Lovely girl, very polite but as soon as she took her shoes off the smell was unbearable. I'm pretty sure it's her shoes that the smell is coming from but has obviously made her socks and feet smell too. We had to put the shoes outside and open windows as the whole house stank.
Any advice on how to deal with this?
I really don't want to upset or embarrass her but I don't think we can cope with the smell every time she comes over, particularly as the carpets will end up stinking too. She is here again today so likely to be a regular occurrence which is absolutely fine. Do I say nothing and hope it's resolved once her feet grow and she has a new pair of shoes? Although that could be months away!
I haven't met her parents and don't have their contact info so not able to bring it up with them.
