[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a prude, but no. We don't poop or pee in front of each other. I mean--why would we? We have bathrooms. With DOORS. My mother used to use the bathroom in front of me all the time when I was a kid and teenager, and I really hated that she had such few boundaries with me about her body. I also try not to fart in front of my husband and I'm pretty sure he does the same. Does one slip out once in a while. LOL. Of course. But I'm not lettin her rip all the time![/quote]

a lot of you grew up in a household with more bathrooms than ppl and it shows  :lol:

haha but seriously - we had five members of the family sharing ONE bathroom.  DH had ten people sharing two bathroomns. You learn to pee in front of ppl, you gotta pee but someone's showering, you share the bathroom (but wait to poop with the door closed).  But def learn to pee in front of ppl.  I'll pee in front of DH, my gfs, mom, sister, anyone I am close with.  I have no shame in a natural bodily function. [/quote]

I grew up in a 2 bedroom farmhouse with 1 bathroom and 7 of us living in it (2 parents and 5 kids).  In my own house, we have 5 people with 2 bathrooms.  I have no problem with someone peeing while another is in the shower nor does anyone else in my family.  Yet, it is common courtesy not to fart in front of others.  It has nothing to do with shame or prudishness.  It's courtesy.  [/quote]

Yup, i agree, I have no shame in my bodily functions.  I don't fart openly around colleagues.  I try not to subject my spouse to farts overtly, but I will let silent non smelly farts out around him without a thought.  And I let him know if I am feeling particularly gassy or if some some reason they are smelly i apologize for the smell.  But we live together, we have a small house, we have one bathroom, we overlap, he has seen a human come out of my vagina.  he knows i fart.  It's silly to stress over trying to hide a normal bodily function.  The above response equating being comfortable with my own bodily functions to me not having boundaries, or the other PPs talking about how farting around your children will leave them damaged.... are clearly highly judgmental of very natural bodily functions.

I just think there is a strong correlation between those that are so judgmental about this natural bodily function and people who have always had the privilege of lots of privacy around bodily functions.  We didn't all have the privilege of our own bathroom growing up. We had to pee in front of others, and normally if I am comfortable enough to pee in front of my sister, i am also fine farting in front of her if i have to.  I dont make a show of it, but I also don't think its rude.[/quote]
