    I have to agree, I find it completely mad that people will do all sorts of incredibly intimate sexual stuff and freely exchange fluids with a person but won't fart or wee when they're around!

    To be honest I find it odd in the same way, as the discussion on the thread about finances and partners. Cant imagine being married/cohabiting with someone that I cant pee/fart in front of or know their finances! Its just everyday stuff.

    Hmmmm never mind having a wee in front of my H try squeezing something else out instead of my baby during labour :eek::o

    Sometimes I think they ought to reintroduce enemas for women in labour :rotfl:

    If aerosolized particles of faeces was going to kill me, I'd have been dead long ago!

    Had to add my own farts in public story - In WHSmith's one day, bending down to the magazines on the bottom shelf, and had to fart. Did quite a loud one and then stood up quickly and called out my then-Oh's name with a note of disgust, to which an old lady looked at him with a look of hate.

    After colon surgery, there's no stopping DH - when he's got to, he's got to,so it happens.

    My situation exactly bitsey beans! More than once! In my defence it was a very quick labour, and the baby wasn't the only thing to make an appearance! The midwife was quick to clean me up but I've been scarred for life by the memory! Hubby, on the other hand, thinks it is hilarious!:eek:

    I've been quite lucky in that my body has evacuated itself in the early stages of labour, but my mum went in with her friend who had been on the vindaloos the night before trying to kick start labour, well you can imagine...

    I had to double take your username as initially I read it as Anus which given the thread topic seemed quite appropriate.
  • omg this thread should have a health warning, it's had me choking for a few nights now, thanks OP.
    I's good to know that it's not just children that enjoy farty things.
    Mind you the under the quilt job (dutch oven - why) is a killer.
    We still laugh about hubby, worked with blokes in a van a few years ago, and let rip, and even they called him a dirty b**.
    as for airborne particles, wouldn't they be trapped in your underwear?

    Oh, is that what all those skidmarks and big wobbly globules are, I was wondering what all that was, and where it came from, ta for explaining it to me, mystery solved.
  • I get irate with my hubby's farting habits. He's of the 'better out than in' tribe and doesn't stop to think of the consequences. In the supermarket, the pub, and the worst one, in the living room when he KNOWS we're about to get visitors! That infuriates me. Really? You know so-and-so's arriving in 5 minutes. You couldn't go to the bathroom or, even better, outside?
