To not want DC sitting next to me if they're farting??

[Bemyclementine]

Ugh god it's just foul. dc aged 7. The younger one doesn't seem to have a problem but bloody hell dc1, it's horrid. Always sitting next to me on the sofa for "movie night". Silent and deadly.

Kind of lighthearted but also not really. I can't cope with it. They want to snuggle up but every 10 minutes I'm gearing lungfulls of noxious gas. 🤢

This is what I meant to 🤣🤣🤣🤣 at. I’m useless on here

In all seriousness- I had a family member who had the worst farts ever- seriously made everyone gag for years. Was diagnosed with coeliac disease and not a smelly fart ever since!

Aren't we programed to love our DC's farts?

Tell him to go to the toilet! Agree with pp that children need to know it's not pleasant for everyone around. My 4 year old knows that, and will at least stop after one sofa fart and a reminder!

Got any pegs?

🐓🥚

Lower intestines I think?

My 2yo has had an awful bum today - and has a poo accident too (we're only about three weeks into training). Ugh. The scent could knock you out.

Better out than in! 😉

Stop the movie & send them to the toilet.

Next time before the movie starts send them to the toilet.

They will learn that farting = movie stopped.

I mean it does possibly smell like a skunk ate a egg then died and a chicken ate it then I farted it out 😅😂

I'm going to try that @ThatFraggle . He can be quite resistant to the idea of needing to go, especially if he's not at home, so would continue with his foul pumps every few minutes

Ds2 just let rip. Long, loud comedy fart. Mostly odourless.

This Op

you don’t have to tolerate it just cos you’re their mother.
farting is rank

Thank you @LuckySantangelo35 I somehow feel guilt for mentioning it. All he wants to do is cuddle up but good god I just can't

The world is divided into people who think farting is hilarious and people who don't.

I am in the former camp, so can't advise.

Could he be lactose intolerant?

Not to bring down the lighthearted tone of the thread, but a couple of people I’ve known with truly horrific farts have ended up being diagnosed with various unpleasant gastro disorders. So might be something to keep an eye/nose on! 😬

I too was going to say lactose intolerant.

Scented candle. This is what we do when the dogs arse is on one.

I sympathise Op, I can't cope with fart smells - it makes me gag. Have raised my dc accordingly; they know it's inconsiderate to subject others to the stink in your bowels and if anyone is feeling particularly afflicted they bugger off for a toilet session

🤣

Brilliant

I lit a candle after they'd gone to bed because the front room had an unpleasant lingering odour.

I don't think he's got any issues, I think he has the silent and violent pumps when he's gearing up for a poop.

At the moment I am producing copious amounts of bum burps. Not smelly at all but incredibly noisy if they get out before I've arranged myself (Cheeks apart for a quiet fart) I have become that elderly relative who lets rip when I get out of the chair. So embarassing when in company but it really is not controllable

He is being rude then. If he did it I'd tell him to move away if he needs to fart. Explain to him it's smelly and not nice to do it sitting next to another person.
