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

A bowl of porridge topped by a dollop of yoghurt!

Okay they have stomach issues but yeah it's extremely rude to just fart away in someone else house.

Of course they feel comfortable around your husband and he feels comfortable around them but you live there too!

I think this is awful and they should take themselves off to fart if it's going to be excessive. Maybe also ask what foods to avoid so they don't have digestive problems.

Team DC here.
Farting is funny 😁

Maybe a special themed "Lapland with the Reindeer" Christmas Day on your patio.

Get one of those fake life-size reindeer, drape the patio furniture in throws and blankets, wear your parkas and mittens. A fire pit if available. Usher them out there when they arrive and make a big deal out of the festive al fresco meal they can expect, of turkey and plain mash served in camp bowls. "Just like Santa and the elves!" Make sure all sofas and chairs are piled with laundry or otherwise unavailable.

"No, no, no," you'll say in a mischievious tone, wagging your finger playfully. "No sneaking inside! I promised the kids the full North Pole experience. Would you like another blanket?"

Hopefully they'll be gone within 45 minutes and you can move indoors.

If they're performance farting then that's vile. I'm pretty relaxed but wouldn't find that funny.

I'd be tempted to message them (tongue in cheek) and say....As my roast dinner had an unsavoury effect on both your stomachs, I'd like to plan ahead for Christmas and cook food that won't cause a repeat performance (pardon the pun). Let me know what foods you are able to tolerate without the after effects, and I'll create a non-traditional menu so that the peace of Christmas can be observed.

I agree with you OP it’s disgusting, I think it’s really bad manners and would hate someone disrespecting my home like that .

Just sit down wind. I’m also disgusted but I ignore it with the elderly members of my own and DH’s family.

When you get older your arsehole gets looser and your guts are shot to shit. Sure your sister in laws young but just prepare yourself for this for your own old age

They do sound a bit rank but I think banning them from Christmas is OTT. Just make sure you don’t have sprouts.

Apologies as I voted the wrong way, (I meant to tap YANBU) letting one out when you’re on your own is fine; going to someone’s house and repeatedly letting rip is shockingly bad manners. I wonder if there’s a tactful way of asking them to leave them room or go outside if they feel the urge? I certainly wouldn’t want to breathe their arse fug. Disgusting.

Maybe this is what happened to that Australian woman- so upset at her ILs farting she decided to ensure they never farted again. It would be a memorable Christmas, if nothing else.

Unless she force-fed them, it's on them to manage their diets.

"I suffer with stomach issues, but I don't sit in front of my in-laws farting. I'd go off to the toilet and fart in there. "

I suffer with stomach issues and I would NOT make it to the toilet in time. A lot of people can't control it and this gets harder as you get older.

🤣

That is just grim OP. WTF wants to listen to 2 people farting on Christmas Day, spoiling the Christmas carols. Going to need some strong candles if they come. Bork!

It’s gross but if you knowingly included gluten / dairy knowing that they are intolerant then you deserved it.

I am 62 and can honestly say that I never heard my mother, father, sister or any man with whom I've been romantically involved do such a thing. Nor have I inflicted my intestinal gas on anyone else.

We never even uttered the "f word" (and I don't mean f**k) in our home growing up, and I don't believe I've ever spoken it aloud.

The idea of people snorting and giggling over spraying their fecal particles around others is just unimaginable. Decent people step away or otherwise regulate themselves. It's not necessary to gorge at a family meal where the company, not the food, is the primary focus.

I haven’t seen my family in months so if dh declared they couldn’t come here I’d get rid of him for the day instead!!!!

If they want to behave like animals, then surely they want to be treated like ones. Just feed them outside👌

I assume you don’t suffer from stomach issues such as IBS, colitis etc. They are supposed to suffer from intolerances, believe me when I say farts can smell absolutely horrendous and it’s not acceptable

Farts maybe a natural function of the body, but so it weeing and pooing, is that acceptable to do in public?

it’s called manners

So they'd have to leave the room every time they need to fart?
How inconvenient.

You need to try and lighten up when it comes to bodily functions.
Granted they could say, excuse me,but to be as disgusted as you are.... Seems extreme to me (sorry, we're all different and I don't mean to invalidate your feelings).
Just tell the kids that it's not how we do things so don't get any ideas and allow the kids to giggle at the joy that farts generally bring.
Farts are funny and laughter is infectious and we could all do with some high energy and smiles and laughter 🤷🏼‍♂️

It can smell vile especially with things such as IBS. @Christmasdayissue is well within her rights to say they can’t do that in her living areas. They should pop to the garden or the toilet , open the window and spray some air freshener. It’s called manners. I have severe IBS and I’d never do this in someone’s home it’s foul

I wouldn't be happy to have them in my home on Christmas day, breaking wind like that. No manners, no apology ....very crass.

As someone who has stomach issues and may fart on occasions I get up and go elsewhere

its absolutely disgusting to do in company

I would tell dh he has the following options
1 he tells his mother and sister to stop and leave the room
2 he does as threatened and finds somewhere to go out with them, and good luck finding anywhere, plus will they fart when out?

edited to add I also have intolerances that make it worse, I simply doesn’t eat the stuff, much as I would like to, so why can’t they just do the same instead of being so selfish
