To tell dh not to fart in front of me and guests

[Idontbloodyknow]

Dh and son are true males and think "popping off" is hilarious.. We have dd partner for Xmas Dinner and I am dreading their inevitable christmas sprout induced chorus. They are not embarrassed and in their own home after all... Dh did one the other day superloud in front of dd partner and dd partner laughed it off But if they carry on like they usually do I think he will be utterly disgusted and I will be cringing. So aibu to insist on no public farting at Christmas?

Oh God, another farting post. You'll probably be told you are being unreasonable and that it's perfectly normal and acceptable for people (but only men really) to fart as often and as loudly as they like and find it totally hilarious, while you are being uptight.

I have never and will never subscribe to this. Yes, farting is natural and we all do it. I however have managed to go over 40 years without farting unnecessarily loudly in front of other people and then finding it amusing. Being with someone who did this would not be an option for me as I just couldn't be attracted to them. My partner farts, but it's not a performance and if it's audible, there is always an "excuse me" and vice versa. Basic manners that I teach my children but that some people seem to have missed.

Read the thread. You’re not unique in your stance

I did read the thread. There was just another one recently when not sharing the view that loudly farting on purpose in front of others was perfectly acceptable and and not agreeing made you uptight.

That’s not a male thing that’s a low iq thing

Lol, give them ra blast with the air freshener everytime they let off.
Or if anyone has watched The Cockfields there’s a scene where someone farts into a box of tissues (as it’s more polite).

Cringe is the word.

Yep I think your guests will be disgusted but will also cringe for your imbecile husband and knuckledragging son as well as you for having to live with them.

Honestly? I'd cancel. Your poor DD too!

God another one. Yes farting is normal, no performance farting is not on. Like someone belching in your face on purpose,it’s antisocial

My husband farts a lot, although he claims he can't help it (yeah right) and thinks it's funny. It's not a male thing though as my 15 year old DD is the same.
Fortunately DD2 doesn't behave the same way. I have told them both it's disgusting but they carry on.
They don't usually do it in front of my parents but will if it's anyone else. Gives me the rage.
Even his work mates (virtually all male) have sort of joking told him how bad it is so it's not just me.

Make a point of not servng them sprouts at dinner.

My DH could fart for England... his particularly loud ones are a match for the artillery on Salisbury Plain.

However, he never farts in public, in the same way that I never burp the alphabet in public (my piece de resistance)

Yes, everyone farts. However, yes, I would think it was gross if I was stuck in the living room having to be polite whilst the William Tell chorus was emanating from someone's arse all afternoon. Tell them both to show some manners.

You sometimes can't stop releasing a fart, probably because of what you have eaten. Those people who can just do Fun farts, should go into the garden,or another room to get their kicks. But mostly, a lot of people find them funny.
