DH and I fart all the time around each other. We even warn the other if it's a silent and deadly one. The past couple of nights DH as farted when I climbed into bed. Of course I'm also the mother who sat on her 3 year old and farted on him because I know he thinks farts are funny.
I have never farted in my husbands presence. I plan to keep this up till the day I die. I figure if I can make it through this gassy pregnancy, I can make it through anything else.
DH and I fart and burp in front of each other freely. I totally get the idea of keeping some mystery in a relationship, but it doesn't happen for us. DH has IBS and poop is a constant topic in our house. He gets my vitamins out for dinner and asks if I want a "poo pill" (Colace). I can't even help my gas anymore since being pregnant and they slip out unannounced all the time. DH laughs and comments on them. DH walks in on me in the bathroom all the time. I close the door, but he just walks in. He also walks in while I'm in the bathtub, which at the moment is not a very pretty site. There's most definitely no privacy in our house!
My stepmom told me once that you only truly love someone if you would change their diaper when you're both old and grey. We would clearly have no problem doing that.
DH is a lean mean farting/pooping machine. And if I was to let one loose in front of him he wouldn't care. I just chose not too. I come from a family of loud farters and burpers, I grew up farting in front of people, won burping contests, no qualms about it. As I got older I just decided I wasn't going to fart in front of people anymore. It's not just DH, it's anyone and everyone. If at any point DH and I come to the point where we have to change each other's diapers I know, without a doubt either one of us would do it in a heartbeat. I don't see it as a problem for those that do fart in front of their spouses. TETO . I'm sure DH will see me poop during labor. Lol no biggie
Oh I'm sure you would change each other's diapers- I didn't mean to infer that you wouldn't. At times I wish I still had some feminine mystique to him, but it's gone.
I don't intend to fart in front of DH but the reality is that I can hardly move these days it seems without passing gas.
He rarely says anything, but the other day it was particularly foul and he did make a comment. I just told him that I had hoped the blanket over me would have acted as a filter - experiment outcome is that : it doesn't.
On the ugly baby topic, my best friend and I have a pact to tell each other if either of us has ugly kids. I think maybe as the parent you can be oblivious to it. DS is adorable so I hope our DD is too.
My niece who is 3 months younger than him is just not very cute (her older three siblings were all gorgeous babies) and when we go places with them people fall all over my son and tend to ignore her. I hate it and feel so bad for my niece. Ihope we won't have to deal with DD being overshadowed by DS. I hate how society puts so much emphasis on looks.
I had a FFFC yesterday and now I can't remember it. I shall be back when I remember.....
I'm in the "keeping some privacy and respect" camp. The only time we don't shut the door to go to the bathroom is in the middle of the night, and then it's still mostly shut, just not all the way. Even when I had food poisoning to the point of hallucinations and was lying on the floor of the bathroom fully dressed, hubby stayed outside the door. He'll come in and talk to me if I'm just relaxing in the tub though.
Ummmm, hmmmm, ok no way to say this delicately, when your hubby steam Belgium rolls you??? I think that is what it is called, you passing gas in front of him could technically pass as foreplay, No???? Bwhahahahaha

I'm in the no farting camp as well. I am usually not a very gassy person so things may change as I get older lol. Also, we close the door when using the restroom as well. I guess I never really thought about it, but I'm kind of a prude that way. I really don't want to have a discussion while on the toilet, nor do I need to hear or smell DH's poop. No thanks!
If only I could get DH to stop farting in front of me! Actually it really doesn't bother me until he pretends to throw them at me. So weird.
My FFFC is that I let my toddler watch Thr Nightmare Before Christmas and now she is obsessed with the "Jack Ween moobie."
If NBC is not child friendly then my FFFC should be that DD watched a good amount of both Chucky and Nightmare on Elm St. Props to her though for not being afraid She also knows what The Walking Dead is lol.
Oh yeah, I was a pretty ugly baby until about 5 or 6 months. I was born with a full head of hair and had a ginormous cone head. Of course my mother thought I was the cutest thing ever... DH was adorable as a baby. Hoping my son takes after his dad lol But if he looks like me then I will be just fine. No biggie.
@Econosaurus I just laughed out loud at your "gremlin baby" comment. Please God, don't let me have gremlin twins [-O<
@JamieK1882 I'm w/ you on the Black Friday shopping. One of my friends & I have almost the same outlets tradition. I think what helps is knowing that I'd be too money conscious / broke this year to buy anything exciting lol
My FFFC- I made it a point to scope out the "complimentary snack" room in the hospital after my NST today. Pretty sad when you're about to give birth to 2 kids any day, and your main concern is scoring free Doritos...
Ummmm, hmmmm, ok no way to say this delicately, when your hubby steam Belgium rolls you??? I think that is what it is called, you passing gas in front of him could technically pass as foreplay, No???? Bwhahahahaha
'Round these parts I think we call that dutch oven? In Perry County (Central PA) I hear they do call it foreplay!
ROFLMAO - weighing in on the topic. DH and I try not to pass gas in front of each other, but it happens. We just say excuse me and move on. He's better about it than I am. We don't use the bathroom in front of each other though.
N14 January Siggy Challenge - What Sucks About Work
I have another- I kinda hope I do poop during labor. It's one less thing I'll have to do right away with my vag potentially all stitched up. I look at it as being efficient and cleaning everything out one time?

H and I fart in front of each other, but the other person pretends not to notice. One day we were at a museum with DD and I let a silent but deadly one go and he thought DD had pooped. I had to explain that it was me. That's the only time farting has been mentioned. If I need to fart I do (and vice versa), but we just don't talk about it at all. We also keep the doors closed when we go to the bathroom. That's more him than me--I don't care about seeing people pee/poop. He's had to adjust now that DD is potty trained, since it had been so long since he had seen anyone but himself on the toilet. I just made him take her a lot
And I'm camp not-all-babies-are-cute too. One of our friends' kids is really not a cute little girl, and I just avoid all comments on her appearance!
My FFFC--I totally cut my mom off on the phone because she was yammering on about absolutely nothing and I was tired of listening. I told her I needed a nap, but really read a book. I do this a lot. I'm sure this will bite me in the butt one day when DD and Artoo do it to me, but she's so boring and doesn't listen to me at all (and then complains about her mother not listening to her)! H's mom is the same way, but he's much better about listening while not really listening to her. Our kids are going to hate me and love him.
I'm another one for team worried about having an ugly child. When people are talking to me about the baby and are like "oh she's going to be so cute!" I'm always like "we'll see! I hope so!" Lol.
Same! Every time someone says 'You're baby's going to be so cute!' I want to reply, 'Thanks for jinxing it!'
I too don't know who half these babies are. I get so excited every time I see a new birth announcement and am mildly disappointed when it's not someone I recognize. I love tit anyways because I get it, they're excited. But it's not the same.
DH came into the bathroom the other night while I was in the tub to offer me a bite of his sausage (not THAT sausage). I told him I didn't want a bite and it was weird to eat meat in the tub while I was naked. He told me I'd really like it and made me take a bite, so now we're always joking about "tub meat".
I'm also hoping for a cute baby but more so I'm hoping my little girl takes after me weight wise. DH has struggled with weight his whole life. He had lost 80 lbs before we met and since we've been together he's put almost all of it back on because he won't portion control and I enable. I really don't want DD to struggle with it.

I have no idea if I pooped or not during delivery. I didn't ask. They didn't tell. BUT! I was bleeding a little too much after (and have blood clotting issues) so they gave me an intramuscular injection (hemabate or something) that is known to cause diarrhea. I was so excited. The LAST thing I wanted was to try to push a poo out after delivery. The first 3 times I went pee, poo just slid right out. It was magical.
