Went round in-laws last week. After lunch SIL turned up and had a few drinks. Our ds then farted and sil was outraged saying it was absolutely disgusting and why didn't we sort our son out! Dh said that it was only a natural bodily function and not to get so het up about it but she was having none of it. She said that it was terrible when people did this and that if her partner (who is also her boss) did it she would ditch him. I thought she must be kidding and asked her what if he let one slip by accident - she said she would still dump him! Dh said that she was being ridiculous and a huge row ensued with FIL joining in and getting almost apoplectic with rage as sil can do no wrong in his eyes. Ds was very upset so we left and have not heard from anyone since. I know ds should not have farted in the first place but can't believe all the kerfuffle about this.
