Dh family burping

[bride36]

Appreciate this may seem trivial.

Dh’s family are burpers, I am not, I find it repulsive, rude, and bad manners.

It’s been years now of silently repressing my feelings when it happens in order to keep the peace but I cannot stand it.

We all go to dh’s nans, we have lunch then one by one family members will burp, actually now that I think about it, it’s only dh’s mum, brother, and son…. His nan doesn’t but she equally doesn’t pull them up on it.

We are going on holiday soon with dss, and obviously different households behave differently but I cannot cope with that all holiday.

equally with the family burping issue, what can I do? Am I destined to just have to put up with it?

Dh doesn’t burp either but it doesn’t bother him to the degree it bothers me

I also feel weird as it’s mostly in the nans house rather than mine so don’t feel I can say anything, although probably don’t feel I can in mine either as I haven’t up until now

This is obviously just the way they are. You either tolerate it, don't go, or tell them you hate it and ask them to stop (this may risk confrontation, but if you're happy to deal with that then maybe that's the option).

I don't think there's much you can do to change their behaviour, so maybe just change how you react to it?

Every time one of them burps make a game of it and give it a silent score in your head.
" Well done MIL that was a solid 8"
"Uh oh...there goes BIL..bluff, that was a poor effort, 4"
" And here we have a winner , excellent FIL , that was a satisfyingly record breaking 10"

My DH family do the same. Mostly rhe men. They also lick their plates after a Sunday roast...... luckily I work weekends so try to avoid as much as possible. Its grim

Could you get DH to do it very loudly in front of everyone so you can then say ‘oh no DH you know how it makes me feel sick, please don’t do it again’. Hopefully they’ll get the hint.

This is genius.

Burp Bingo.

DH does massive burps and I have said it’s disgusting. No attempt to temper the burp. Farts as well. I feel your pain

It's disgusting isn't it. FIL does this at the end of every meal- sitting at the table, let's out a huge burp and then says pardon me. That's his ritual. Makes me feel sick and I really don't want the kids to copy him.

So fucking gross.

I prefer farts to burps. Great fun. 🤣

Omg , they lick their plates ?!?!
That’s even worse than the burping .
I’d be absolutely horrified to see that .

Is it not a natural body function? I don't burp I can't even if I try so maybe it isn't? As I have got older I sometimes wish I could instead of having to wait for indigestion to subside.
