DH kicking off as I want to uninvite DMIL/DSIL from Christmas Day

Poached chicken and veg it is for all three of them then. I wouldn't say a word.

They sound disgusting. Stick to your guns OP. It's one thing if someone accidentally let's one slip, but they were clearly being rude and disrespectful. I'm astounded at the people on here who think it's normal/acceptable.

This is so gross. I’m prudish about farts too OP so get your issue completely. I just really hate bad odours and couldn’t sit in a room with someone regularly letting off, it would make me feel ill in truth.

Not sure what the solution here is because it obviously seems mean to disinvite them 3 weeks before because they have flatulence but it is grim, I agree.

He believes that he is above you because he contributes more to the mortgage and he is using his revolting farting family to express his contempt towards you. They are not required to be polite in your presence because you @Christmasdayissue are a subordinate in their eyes.
I'd say it's time to stop doing all the things that facilitate him in his important job via which he pays more of the mortgage.

I would not want their dirty backsides sitting on my furniture. I have animals that have better manners than these two.

Yes. Or a drive

Go elsewhere on the day and leave the fartfamily to it?

let dh take the guests out for a walk after linch to help with the digestion (or you do so that dh can clear up).

to not invite would be rude imo

Wow that remark about the mortgage was awful. No way I’d let that stand.
re your issue, I don’t think you can stop DH from inviting his family to his home but you don’t have to facilitate it. Take him up on the suggestion to all go out to eat somewhere instead (bet he backtracks). It is actually the best solution as it is difficult to uninvite them now.
Alternatively say fine, you can’t stop him from inviting them but he cannot make you cook for them. He can buy some frozen pizzas if he can’t cook. Or Xmas ready meals maybe. After eating make yourself scarce - a walk, hopefully they will go too.
And in the new year I’d be sorting out that mortgage remark. If you don’t work full time / earn less to facilitate family life I’d tell him if he persists with that attitude he’d better learn to cook as he is taking over 50% of household and child duty as you need to increase your earnings as apparently that is the only way to be treated with respect. Ask him which days he would prefer to cover. Git.

I can’t imagine why your marriage didn’t work out.

Op, this thread has given me a wonderful laugh this morning. It is better than an episode of Keeping up Appearances. Thank you!

I agree with him. Sorry!

Accept him taking them to the pub . They are disgusting.

Paying the mortgage doesn’t entitle him to force you into inhaling his mothers actual fecal matter

Another OP that married into a low class family with a bullying abusive husband.
Stop having children with him and start thinking about the life you want.

His language is coarse and disgusting, just like his family.
His morgage remark is controlling, manipulative and coercive.
He's scum, just like his family.
At least you know.

Yes, this has cast the thread in a new light.

The family situation is not happy so it's harder for op to take the farting as friendly fire.

Same!

People in other countries have no issues with breaking wind, no one bats an eye..... Because everyone does it!!
They fart and no one says a thing....

If someone has IBS or other related issues then it should be met with compassion surely???

Well since his the big bucks earner here clearly he can go and buy and pay for the Christmas food shop and then bloody well cook it while you laze around with the children all Christmas Day.

Daddy better also be pulling his weight with all child related things day to day for the I pay more Billy big bollocks routine. Can see he grew up in a cave farting for warmth and his hunter gather me man shite.

He only gets final say if he’s doing all the food shopping and planning and also cooks all the food. Meet up with them at a restaurant on Boxing Day and stay home with the children on Christmas Day.

OP O think they are disgusting to not try to go outside and for not apologising. What sort of animals are they? I think arrange an after dinner fart walk organised by your DH- I’d gladly stay behind and clean up!

Must be a personality trait because I’m South and this whole thread made me laugh. It has to be the best reason I’ve ever seen to un invite someone to lunch, I’d love to see the ‘garters’ response when they are told. Maybe it will be in a WhatsApp and they’ll send a voice note back farting!

So he can take charge of the place, then, by doing all the looking after, cooking, cleaning from now on if he pays more. What an appalling thing for him to raise! I can only think that he’s horribly embarrassed about their behaviour and is deflecting. Stand firm, OP, Brewers Fayre will be fine and saves you a shit ton of work/money/effort/time.

I’m North and my experience is that farting is considered very normal and quite entertaining (or maybe that last bit is just me 😅)

What’s the bet he’d rather tell them not to come (citing a creative reason that is entirely your fault) than tell them that Christmas is conditional - and they must promise to fart outside.
