Heather in Neverland Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 It never ends. All you can do is train them not to do at the dinner table or church, etc. They will always think it is funny. It's a guy thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 About a month ago, the boys were walking out of the living room to brush their teeth, Quinn following Holden. Suddenly, Holden stops and says "Quinn! Quinn! Listen!" <thbbbbbbbbtttttt> How did I handle it? I hid my face and held my breath while my husband - exercising great willpower and presence of mind - yelled something about that beig rude. And then I dissolved into helpless, gasping giggling as soon as they were out of earshot. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 My brother and his wife had a saying they say saved their marriage, time and time again.

melissel Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I was raised in a family where you never, ever spoke of things like this. Ever. DH was one of three boys. Need I say more? I have to say, though, that some of the funniest family stories come from those kinds of things. Like when one of the boys ripped one into a jar and then closed it up and gave it to one of others to open. Even I laugh at that one--after pretending to be very disapproving and tsk-tsking a bit. DH knows that this is a sensitive subject for me, so it doesn't come up here too much. There are times, though, when I know...I just KNOW...he is dying to shove my head under the covers. Some habits do die hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Honestly, I was debating whether I dared to start a thread about what age is reasonable to expect self-control in this area. Mind you, I have girls, not boys. They are definitely learning tricks from the boys in KG, though. Har, har. I hate farts. I don't even fart in the privacy of my own bedroom (and I'm single).

melissel Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Well, I complained once...and my ds asked me.."what do you want me to do?? Xplode??". Well, there's always the courteous trip to the loo. Which is what we taught our girls. Which is quite humorous when one of them has to excuse themselves and hurry down the hallway every three minutes. Which then turns into an amusing game in which the jet-powered member of the family finds increasingly gross ways of announcing why they're leaving the room. It didn't last too long here, needless to say. I just don't serve legumes often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once early in our marriage, we were lying in bed watching tv and he cuddled up to me ans said, "Can I ask you a question?" I said, "Sure." Then he said, "If I farted under the covers and then pulled them up over your head, would you get mad?" Quite the romancer he is....:glare: We also worked together in a restaurant early on and one day after closing, DH was cleaning up by himself in one part of the kitchen. I was sitting in a booth rolling silverware when all of a sudden, one of the cooks came running out and yelled at me, "WHAT are you feeding him?" :lol: *sigh* Is it sad that I have so many fart stories to tell about my DH?":001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunD Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Once you're old enough to control it somewhat, I expect you to go to the bathroom to do it, or at least make an attempt to get there. Accidents are okay. But if you announce it, heaven help you, because then I KNOW you knew it was coming. You get to spend 1 minute in the bathroom for each year of age. Yes, ladies. Fart time-outs. I won't say how many minutes DH has to spend. Enough to deter my nephew from testing me. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in CA Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Uh...my dh of 23 years who's been with me through the birth of our 5 dc, insists he's never heard me do "it" (I don't even say the word, it's the "F" word, in my world, lol!:D) I have a lot of boys in my household, and made it extremely clear right from the start that NO WAY IN THE WORLD would I ever find that anything other than the rudest of behavior. My boys don't do it in my presence. If they did, I'd assign a thorough bathroom cleaning from the offender, each and every time. If they can hold back in front of their dear sweet girlfriends, you know they can hold back in front of me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
