A wall of smell (really trivial)

So I'm cleaning up after dinner. Leave the boys to it for a bit to play/bond/whatevs

It's really late so I'm thinking it's time to wind down (ds had a 4 hour nap today so a lot bit early) ready for bed. Walk into ds's bedroom to be confronted with a fusion of the following:

Bum jam/sweaty arse crack
Fart (probably about 10)
Sweaty feet
Underarm BO
A pooey nappy (which unsurpringly escaped everyone's notice)
Damp clothes from a gym session carefully folded all over the floor

Ok I know it's hot weather but I am pregnant, hormonal and quite frankly I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT.

So open a window??

Fail to see a problem really

Sounds minging - can you use the summer holidays as an extended training session in how not to stink your bedroom out?!

MamaLazarou · 18/07/2014 21:46

Bum Jam?

Mouthfulofquiz · 18/07/2014 21:48

Gross!!! Get all the windows open, and send the offenders to the shower immediately!

Gileswithachainsaw · 18/07/2014 21:48

If he's young enough for nappies he's not old enough for BO surely?

Perhaps bath him

ithoughtofitfirst · 18/07/2014 21:50

Haha I might just hose my husband down at the front door from now.

The nappy thing is what really pissed me off. Like the smell of a steaming human turd couldn't compete in that room.

So is it your husband that smells?

Gileswithachainsaw · 18/07/2014 21:55

Make the smelly one sleep in the shed and fumigate the room

ithoughtofitfirst · 18/07/2014 21:55

I couldn't tell where the smell of one human ended and the other human began.

I've worked in hospitals nursing homes and never been hit with such an awful smell.

I'm impressed at your fart-detection skills. How can you be so sure it was 'about 10' and not 20 tiny ones or one massive stinker. You must have a remarkably finely-tuned nose.

ithoughtofitfirst · 18/07/2014 22:16

Hahaha! God help me if it was just one. Definitely would be banished to the shed if that's the case. I could ask him how many he reckons it was. He blamed the smells (all of them) on my ds... then claimed he hadn't noticed that he'd pooed Hmm

Aliceinvodkaland · 18/07/2014 22:18

have you got a teenage ds? because this sounds like their room smell...it's horrendous

Aliceinvodkaland · 18/07/2014 22:19

some of us have superpower olfactory senses!!! Grin

Purplelooby · 18/07/2014 22:25

Lmao there is NOTHING worse than bad smells when you're pregnant. Complain away you've got my full sympathy. I considered divorce over my husband's feet when I was in early pregnancy.

MrsWinnibago · 18/07/2014 22:25

You must reassure us that your baby is not also suffering from BO! You have a teenage DS yes? Does he share a room with the baby? Whose nap was early? Why was it 4 hours long!?

ithoughtofitfirst · 18/07/2014 22:25

Oh god alice I grew up with a pristine and primped older teenage brother so I have never been exposed to it for any length of time. My son looks the type too... he's got that devilish charm.

OP posts:
MrsWinnibago · 18/07/2014 22:27

Who has? How many sons have you? Is DH the farter? Confused

ithoughtofitfirst · 18/07/2014 22:29

purple it is bad

No my 2yo doesn't have BO. Haha but I would be impressed if he did. He did have a sweaty head of ringlets from running around out of the garden though.

ithoughtofitfirst · 18/07/2014 22:31

One cute little toddler one horrendous sweaty husband. He is very primal looking. And smelling.

Ds was only responsible for the poo... and maybe a few cheeky farts.

Omg bum jam stench is awful! DSS made the sofa cushion stink from sitting on it after school and before having a shower. I had to use antibacterial spray and wipe to get rid of the smell! OP I feel your pain.

Gingefringe · 18/07/2014 22:52

What is bum jam?
