My MIL says she never broke wind in front of any member of her family - but she is 83 so is this a generational thing?

I quite often have a farting competition with my DH to the point where we 'strike a pose' whilst trumping.

It's great fun.

AIBU to think this keeping your farts to yourself is a thing of the past, or I am just full of hot air.

Sorry, need to go before I type anything else, I need to 'strike a pose!'

Will only do it in front of DH and kids, no one else.

Must admit there are very few people I’m happy to trump in front of. I certainly don’t make a piece of performance art out of it!

BIL lives in France. Was visiting here once and I must have farted freely as he commented that he had NEVER heard his (French) wife fart. They'd been together years. I was genuinely stunned.

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 17/09/2018 22:27

Dh has never heard me fart in 6 years.

Puddlejumps · 17/09/2018 22:30

My mum used to say her farts smelled of roses and when she let one pop it ‘must have been the doorbell’ 😁

Farting is good for you. Go for it girl!! Everyone farts.

Haireverywhere · 17/09/2018 22:38

I have never farted once in 15 years with DH. I am not a windy person so it tends just to be in the bathroom that it happens anyway.

Haireverywhere · 17/09/2018 22:39

I mean *in front of DH

donajimena · 17/09/2018 22:41

Been with my OH almost 4 years. We never parp in front of each other. I haven't exploded nor imploded.

Marie0 · 17/09/2018 22:47

I’m thinking maybe I blow off more than the average person 😂

Classy.......

TeeniefaeTroon · 17/09/2018 23:24

Neither my husband or I have ever farted in front of each other and we've been together over 20 years. We both just go to the bathroom.

LucyDontLockIt · 17/09/2018 23:28

I like to do silent ones then I sit giggling to myself waiting for DH to smell it.
The best one I ever did was in the car ... he was happily chatting away and I forced out a proper stinker. He didn't hear it, you just saw his face contort as he smelt it followed by "fucking he'll! That's rank!" - he then opened his window gasping for fresh air. I had actual tears of laughter rolling down my face. I still smile when I think about it. #happytimes

I'm 34 and no never in front of friends or partners

TheRoadLessRocky · 17/09/2018 23:31

I don't understand the 'go to the bathroom' thing. I'd spend half my life in there! Especially after eating cauliflower. I must be really gassy. I can mainly hold them when needed eg in work, but it causes discomfort.

Cuttingthegrass · 17/09/2018 23:36

There appear to be a spate of happy skinking farting blow others heads off with repulsive smells and think it's funny. I don't understand why it's funny or acceptable. I'd hate ny DP to do this and I'd hate the embarrassment of combining foods which would cause this and if I did would certainly avoid that combination in future. Sorry for not finding it funny

beefchowmein · 17/09/2018 23:37

Just in front of DH. I don’t do it in front of anybody else but I have absolutely no idea how you get so many replies of ‘he’s never heard me trump in 10 years of marriage’ just how? And why?

LucyDontLockIt · 17/09/2018 23:37

Cuttingthegrass- your post has just made me laugh again Grin thank you!

Fluffyears · 17/09/2018 23:39

Jeez it’s just farting. We are free winders here in Chateau fluffy! The funniest fart I ever witnessed was the dog she looked at her arse in surprise anf kept sniffing ‘something came out! I felt it, I smell it but where is it?’
