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. 🤢

@Wat2do222 I am the same, farts make me heave. My husband and mine were always trained to leave the room. Fortunately they never had smelly trotters, otherwise it would be feet in the shower time.

Kids shouldn't be always be super stinky with their farts. Is he constipated? That makes then stinky. And he should be going to the toilet as soon as he starts to fart - its bad for his bowel habits otherwise.

Well... my nose definitely didnt get that memi!!

Presumably you're the one feeding them do maybe rethink their diet?

I remember tearing my husband down a peg or two. I was verbally stunning. Then, I turned my back and walked away with a pop, pop poppity pop.

'Off you go!' said my husband, 'On your bloody motorbike!'

It is not the first time my farts have ruined my cool.

We used to blame them on the dog. Say to her, ‘Pooh, was it you?’ - and she’d look sheepish and slink off behind the sofa.
Could nearly always tell if it was her, though - hers had a distinctive ‘bouquet’.

Hahahaaaaaaa, brilliant!

@ThatFraggle has the right idea and glad you will adopt it.

@simbobs

erm you do realise that even if you eat a diet of 100% fruit and veg, Farts will still stink?
also why are you trying to blame op for her sons fart and his rudeness about them?

When I was little I used to sit between my nans legs on the floor watching telly. She was in the chair. There was always this strange smell coming from her slippers. I got used to it over time, was quite comforting and I sniffed it all in.

When I was about eighteen I did a strange fart, and thought that smells like my nans slippers......

@GeorgeA12

eh?

See... I never understand it when people say this 🤷‍♀️ I'm from a family of farters...we are just very gassy 😳 It's not 'a toilet issue' though...we just unfortunately produce a lot of gas 😯

Same here.

Telling farty kids to go to the toilet to fart makes me laugh, too. The constant trekking to and fro in my family would have worn out the carpet.

This made me gag!

@MisschiefMaker I'm glad someone understood my story 😂

We all eat the same, I do think it's when he's needing a poop. But, he went this morning, so not an immediate poop necessity.

The rudeness does annoy me. I think he got the point last night. I couldn't send him to the toilet each time though he'd be up and down like a yoyo.

Oh God! Child farts (especially toddlers) smell worse than death itself.

7 is too old for this!!
