Dd is the noisiest drinker I've ever met

[Supervet]

and she makes me wince when she drinks. It's like nails on a blackboard.

She kind of slurps each sip making a huge amount of noise then smacks her lips together so you get sluuurppp then a kind of noise you get drinking an almost empty drink through a straw. Then smack lips.
it's so loud.

I know iabu but wibu to ask her to drink outside or in another room...

My kids sound like drains when they drink - glug, glug, glug

DH is similar though - vile, the lot of them

[DJThreeDog]

My DH is like this.

I think it's because his head is empty so it echoes a lot

[TheHouseOnBellSt]

How old is she? If she's over 5 then it's time to teach her how to drink properly.

[WorraLiberty]

God, this would make me murderous!

[Mrsmorton]

I agree that if you can do something, you should. It's not nice to sit near someone in work, transport etc who makes noises like that. For a child it's obviously forgivable but I think you should probably make her aware of it.

I know w 10 yo who gluts like a drain, it's frankly nauseating to listen to but her parents seem proud of it...

DH (42) is a noisy drinker (glugg glug glug glug!). DS (5) not so bad.

I did some reading up on this and apparently some people (me included) are more grossed out with glugging/slurping/eating/drinking type noises than othes...

[TheHouseOnBellSt]

Some people...with say adenoid issues, can't help making a bit of a noise. But for those with no issues, it's not acceptable.

[FenellaFellorick]

Teach her how to do it properly.
The world will thank you

[Supervet]

I've taught her and taught her but she still does it.She's flipping twelve. She seems to have a low palate and sometimes chokes on food so may be connected to that?
or maybe she's just noisy argh

[RattusRattus]

Tell her to drink silently. You are not the only person she will encounter in life who will find it revolting.

[BYOSnowman]

I have a medical issue and a very noisy drinker. Also choke easily. Maybe get her checked out at the gp?

Sorry if I revolt anyone!

[SlaggyIsland]

Oh god I hate that noisy slurping glugging thing some children do. Visceral revulsion when I hear it.

[FenellaFellorick]

Oh. Maybe she's got a problem then? Has the gp looked at her?

[Supervet]

Our gp is useless and diagnoses without examining. His favourite thing is to recommend calpol for every single complaint without examining.

[Supervet]

byosnowman do you mind if I ask what the problem is? We can't seem to get the bottom of why she sometimes chokes .
