In our house we don't fart in front of anyone.

Whether you actually do it or not doesn't matter. But if you feel you can't fart in front of your dp then there's probably something seriously wrong with the relationship. I grew up with a mum with really severe IBD that got worse because she felt she had to hold in her farts and poos to be 'ladylike' -she is now basically incontinent. No man (or woman) is worth that!

nickie Oh God yes, maybe I misunderstood? Deliberately cutting the cheese in public is gross. Doing it in private is alright.
And I suppose I would maybe feel a little embarrassed doing it in front of a new DP etc but it's not something I'd maintain forever.
Also, hopefully your friends aren't hanging around their bathroom if you're in there/the toilet isn't near where they'd be, the "plop" isn't always so loud it can be heard outside the room, surely? although sometimes room spray may be necessary

In our house we don't fart in front of anyone. How do your children hold them in?

Why not?

How funny! Silly words like trumping and saying "excuse me" are so, so Hyacinth. Farting is normal, not the rather immature and crass farting games beloved of teenager boys but ordinary farting. How could you not do it in front of your husband or partner? Where do you go? I am picturing very naice ladies with frilly aprons rushing into the greenhouse in the middle of the 10 O'clock News then popping back indoors to say "Pardon me". Almost as funny as Mrs Browns Boys.

I don't tell the children they can't - they just don't - they go in the bathroom to do it. Same with burping. We're just hung up I guess.

Ah, that seems a shame, so many laughs to be had, making the bath into a jacuzzi for one.
