You must not have dogs! And no, you can’t train them to excuse themselves and run to the bathroom to fart.

you know you're releasing gas from your insides all the time?

"Fart proudly" --Benjamin Franklin, who wrote an entire treatise on the subject.

Amen to that.

Soooo humiliating on long car trips when I was a kid because my parents would start the who farted discussion.

My husband grew up in a “farts are a taboo subject” and “farts are restricted to the privacy of the bathroom” family. I grew up in a family where we saw the humor in it. Imagine his surprise to get 2 healthy young boys who fart up a storm! He has come around to see the humor in the situation but we do teach our kids not to fart in close proximity to others. (With mixed results).

Any house rules about this?

Flatulence may be a fact of life, but in a well-run home it doesn’t have to become a… dominant design feature.

In my household, the guiding principle is simple: consideration and courtesy. A beautiful home is not just about aesthetics; it’s about how people treat one another within it.

How much?
Well, ideally as little as possible in shared spaces. Everyone has their moments, of course — we’re human. But mindful habits go a long way toward maintaining a pleasant atmosphere, literally and figuratively.

Who is the worst?
Every home has its culprit. Identify them gently, with humour rather than shame. If it’s a child, teach them the same way you teach table manners. If it’s an adult, a lighthearted acknowledgment works wonders:
“Sweetheart, that is absolutely not a living-room activity.”

House rules? Absolutely.
Here are my approved guidelines for harmonious living:

Designated Departure Zones:
If you feel the urge, briefly excuse yourself to a hallway, bathroom, or any area with better ventilation.

Time and Place:
The dining table, kitchen, and entertaining spaces are non-negotiable no-flatulence zones. Think of them as the fine-linen areas of etiquette.

Noise Control:
Every household member should make a reasonable effort to keep things discreet. Consider it the domestic equivalent of tidying up after yourself.

Aroma Management:
Keep a subtle room spray or candle nearby — something elegant, not overwhelming. Lemon verbena works beautifully.

Humor with Limits:
A shared laugh is fine, but habitual or attention-seeking gas is not a personality trait. If it becomes one, a kindly conversation is warranted.

A home thrives on respect, good manners, and just a touch of structure. With a few gentle expectations, even this most natural of issues can be handled with grace.

Was just about to write the same thing. Definitely AI generated!

Wait, women do this too?

It occurs to me that modern houses should have a phone booth-sized chamber which has super-strong ventilation for people to duck into, expel their gas, & then quickly return to their daily routine.

Ew, no. Just the floozies.

I've told my kids, be proud of your farts and we have a great time trying to out do each other. I sometimes regret it because they can really be aggressively offensive with it as they've gotten older.

My is horrified by it all and has never once farted in front of us. That kind of adds to the fun. Of course we know to cool it around house guests. But not all of them.

We eat a primarily plant based whole food diet. We eat a lot of veggies and beans/lentils but we take care to prep it carefully so they don't make us gassy. We are trim and active. We do not drink alcohol or consume junk or too much processed foods. We eat a lot of home made probiotics every day. We poop without any effort, we are very regular, we poop 1-2 times a day etc. We do not have food allergies, we do not have issues with our digestive system.
We do not suffer from heartburn, burps, acidity, nausea, problems of liver, kidney, spleen, gall bladder etc.

One family member had to undergo chemo this year and even though they became gassy they did not have stinky farts. Thank God.

lol, meat, sure but the rest of your orthorexic fever dream is nonsense. Trim, careful lentil preparing vegans are entirely capable of stinking up the joint, believe me!

Holding a fart can be reabsorbed … and come out the other hole on top. Ewwww.

Come on. You are ridiculous. Farts smell- all of them. And the chemo comment- you are relieved that their farts don't smell? This is your take away? Your farts do stink, dear.

We trained our dog not to fart. Ever. He is so mindful.

LOL- lies from me. I once had over on a highway because I had a dog in the car that farted something awful and I thought I would pass out. I needed air.
