House full of farts

54 replies

Anyone else have to endure this?
Dp and toddler Dd forever trumping, not deliberately rudely and doesn’t smell, but it’s pretty constant.
I rarely trump and hate the word fart, itself. I’m honestly not up my own arse (pardon the pun) but it was ridiculous today 🙈🤣
Aibu to not want to live in a house full of farts?

I don't get the fuss really and especially not if they don't smell.

Count yourself lucky.

YANBU - It’s disgusting.

therocinante · 09/08/2021 16:02

YANBU not to like it, you can't help that. But what realistically do you expect them to do - should your toddler be trained to go into the garden every time they need to fart? They're in their home, they're doing a completely normal bodily function... buy fewer beans and get some probiotic yoghurts haha!

Why are there so many fart threads lately?

WiddlinDiddlin · 09/08/2021 16:05

I don't mind as long as it doesn't stink.

I do find the words pump and trump instead of fart to be incredibly childish though and strap my judgey pants on high and tight in the face of an adult who chooses those over good ole 'fart'.

As far as farting at home goes, if you are fairly sure it won't stink, fine, and if you want points for volume, pitch range and duration, I'll play (as long as im not busy! don't interrupt me writing or drawing to do that!)...

If you suspect it will stink - get out of the room and go to the loo.

Unless you are one of the dogs, in which case do as you please. Dog farts are excused but you will be evicted from my lap if you do a smelly stinker.

There are four of us in the house; three have IBS, the other is a teen boy. I’m pretty much immune to farts now.

Arsebucket · 09/08/2021 16:11

All my children fart on waking in the morning. I know when my 7 year old wakes up because I can hear a long one being let rip.

My baby is the same. I know if she’s just stiring and now taking properly because there is no earth ripping fart.

Topseyt · 09/08/2021 16:15

🤣🤣🤣 at the idea of farts spreading Covid around in the supermarket.

Very unlikely, unless you are in the habit of having a bare arse when doing your grocery shopping. 🤣🤔

My first thought was nostalgia; " Oh she must have a greyhound."

Elieza · 09/08/2021 16:53

Perhaps How Healthy is Your Gut (ch4) could give some hints and tips?

AntiSocialDistancer · 09/08/2021 16:55

I feel like this is an accurate description of the summer holidays.

PerpendicularVincent · 09/08/2021 16:57

DH & DS high five each other when they fart loudly. They also try and waft the smell towards me.

NeonJellyBaby · 09/08/2021 17:00

I don’t understand posters who get all uppity about farting. We all do it, obviously it’s not nice to let rip in public but if you can’t do a good, satisfying fart in your own home without fear of shame then there is something very wrong.I wonder about people who have been married years and have never farted in front of their partners, so you have corks up your rectum or something? How is that physically possible?

SchrodingersImmigrant · 09/08/2021 17:07

The word "trump" discriminates against tsssss ones 😁

BlankTimes · 09/08/2021 17:34

I never thought we were a load of gasbags, until a few years ago, we all did a low carb diet for the whole family as a health thing. Basically read wheatbelly and read up on insulin, leptin and ghrelin, then as a start, cut out all the white carbs, bread, pasta and potatoes without taking it much further.

You know when you realise something is different, but you're not sure what it is, we were all saying that after a few days, then it dawned, we were no longer fermenting. Grin

Flobbertybillop · 09/08/2021 18:03

Yabu. Farts are funny, they are a natural bodily function, and if you can’t do it in your own home, when can you?
Please don’t shame like my ex used to either (not saying you do), because it was awful

honeyytoast · 09/08/2021 18:12

I hate this type of humour so much. I’m not sure why. My family have always been very open about bodies and health etc etc (parents both medical professionals), but we have never ever done the whole farting in front of each other thing. I’m not sure why it bothers me though

Frazzledmummy123 · 09/08/2021 18:15

My husband farts constantly as he has IBS. Anything can set it off and the smell is awful Confused . He refuses to do anything about it, even denies he did it half the time, so it is constant burning wax melts and spraying air freshener.

If they don't smell then it isn't as bad but yanbu to be bothered by constant farting.

Depechemodebiggestfan · 09/08/2021 18:18

I hate it too. My FIL and DH farts constantly, it just disgusting for me.
Where I’m from it’s horrible and I hate it.
I would never fart in front of anyone, it’s disrespectful and I don’t care what anyone says.

Suzi888 · 09/08/2021 18:20

Always have a window open here, my dog can clear a room!

SimonJT · 09/08/2021 18:25

We’re vegetarians and we have a dog, lighting a match is very dangerous in our flat.

DH has cancer, he has half of his insides removed in a vain effort to buy him time, as a result he doesn't absorb food without medication. If he gets his dose wrong, he farts. A lot. He is many things but he is not disrespectful. He is sick and his illness means he farts.
Ofallthethings · 09/08/2021 19:54

If it doesn't smell I don't understand why you would be bothered by it to be honest. You should be able to fart in your own home around your immediate family, this is the place where you should be able to relax.

Seeing as there's already a thread broadly on the subject, can anyone help settle an argument? My DP insists poop means fart - I think it means poo. Obviously there's serious room for misinterpretation if he says he's pooped and I think he means he's shat himself, so we need to get this cleared up (pun intended). So poop - poo or fart??

There are three categories Most distinguished Fart - air passing Poop - a solid matter passing

Then there is the third one. Shart. When everything is passing😂

Your do is weird😂
