Secretlife:
That was a very funny account of what your daughter seems to be experiencing and relishing. May I suggest that you conduct due diligence on the matter and rule out any medical issues. I am just wondering if the humor is a way of hiding a medical condition that causes an inordinate amount of flatulence. I would think that she is just fine and healthy in all respects but you may want to have that checked out. Better to get it treated early if there is a medical problem. Otherwise, let her be her own person and after a few humiliating experiences with potential boyfriends and the like, she will be more discreet about her infatuation with flatulence. Just my thoughts.

Secret........lol........funny story.....BUT i am going to be the bad guy here....of all the bodily function this is the one i can't stand, from anybody not even my daughter.......and, believe me, she is very good at....lol.....
I am with Aristotle...check for something she is eating or what....then teach her asap that she can have all the fun she want but only with selected people....and i would do it BEFORE boys enter in the picture...i wouldn't want her to be humiliated by a comment or crashed by a boy remark or some other sissy girl around her...
kids are cruel....i already talked to my daughter about it and she is not making a bid deal about this rule at all.....even though she forgets about it pretty often......lol......
i wouldn't call it free spirit. (your daughter and mine are most likely ones) and this is not a proof of it.........i would call it bad timing....something in the bagels, maybe?....lol.....its just that age.....
And this is not a sexist rule.......i can't even stand boys doing it.......i remember my brother was a champion...and he was acting like he had some kind of natural right in doing it whitout caring for anybody's protests.....i hated it....
i think feminism can be rooted as a reaction to a fart .....:-0
mobil: oh ALOT of help you are!
moxy? unhuh, she's got that in abundance....
i'm sure she'd help you hunt; as long as she could take home an elk or deer for a pet! LOL; she is not the squeamish type, but she likes her animals breathing, and preferably in the house.
moms: the little ones flock to this daughter of mine. we call her the pied piper. it's most likely because she's still obsessed with all those things that the little ones are just discovering. If she saw your son experimenting with burping, believe me, she'd teach him how to belch out the ABC's!
satyr: oh sure, encourage them! like they need encouragement!
falsely accused my foot!
beyond: if this were your post instead of mine, i'd be relieved to know there was another child like her out there. And i'd offer you my sympathies....and assure you that she would outgrow this...
yes, she is very impressed by every sound her body makes, that's for sure. and the louder the sound, the louder the laughter....
lucy! I am laughing my butt off at you! Confidence? charm? LOL!
the boys are going to love it....i mean who could resist such demure, feminine behavior?
mimi: belching contests? you? lol.
my parents were so strict about belching. every single burp had to be accompanied immediately by an 'excuse me'....by the time i was 10, i thought everyone in the world did this as matter of course. We were 4 girls, and we never ...NEVER ever farted in front of ANYONE.....
my father might let one slip out on rare occasion in front of us, and then we'd all tell him how gross he was and stinky and run out.
i tell my daughters that girls just don't fart. lol! they don't!
queen: watch out, i'm sending her to your house for the weekend!
dannettab: I can't remember many girls farting either. So now you know how i feel when she just decides to let them loose.....and i mean if it was just an 'accident', i could understand...but for her, it's a source of great glee!
i've already heard from her best friends that she has 'let loose' at a few sleepovers ....no shame...no shame....
she goes to high school next year.
i'm hoping she will grow out of it before then!
Aristotle: I will admit, that this daughter has a very sensitive stomach. I call it a nervous stomach, because anytime she feels apprehensive or nervous, she is running to the bathroom....
now if i could just get her to run to the bathroom before she explodes!
we have all kinds of news for the pediatrician this year....lol she would just kill me if i mentioned the gas too! but i may, just to be sure there's nothing physically wrong.
ginger: i never had a 'selected' group of people that i felt comfortable passing gas in front of ....and i still don't! i don't want one either! that's what i don't get....why doesn't she feel embarrassed to do this in front of her family....or in front of her girlfriends for that matter? what's missing here?
i know she won't do this at school, because she's come home a few times saying how she had to be excused from class before she did it there....so i know she has SOME sense of humility....just not here, that's for sure!
mini: beano....that's an idea!
kruu: oh lord kruu...i can't imagine an adult woman having to be told about this.....how humiliating is that??? for everyone!
gross!!!! i don't think anyone in a work setting imagines having to discuss gas with a co-worker!
isn't that common courtesy?
and didn't i teach my girls common courtesy?
i tried, honest! :-(
mommy: you have my sympathies...
mimi: you crack me up!
daily: at almost 4, it's still cute and perfectly understandable. Bathroom humor at 3-6....very funny with those kids.
i must say, it's a little frightening, when they are teenagers and still finding alot of bathroom humor very funny....
you haven't failed yet......keep repeating, girls don't quack; girls fluff....
i'm not sure what to repeat to my 13 yr old these days....she doesn't believe me at all when i say girls never fart.
MM: LOL, expressing herself, huh??? oh lord!
CW: yes, we were threatening her yesterday that we were going to video tape her in action if she didn't quit it soon....
tbs: honestly.......disgusting it IS! no matter if you're at home or not.....i'm with on that all the way! Our van WAS an outhouse Saturday morning for sure....and all from a 100 lb little girl lost in giggles.
granmomi: no no ...not at all! you must have been typing your comment while i was typing my responses, that's all.... you did not offend me in any way. in fact, i was giggling about your comment to your daughter about peeing outside.
when we were little girls, my mom would tell us that if we peed outside, we'd get a sty in our eye and she'd know what we were up to....
believe me, none of us peed outside after that....lol!
the only one i had that problem with was my son.
but 2 summers ago we were at a little league game, and one of the boys on his team decided he had to pee in the middle of the game, and did it smack in the middle of the field. His parents were MORTIFIFED!
It was the talk of the team and everyone associated with it for weeks.
I think my son is a bit more careful about peeing outside after seeing the to-do that was started by his little friend....
i don't think you harsh at all....honest.
Bronx you sly fox you!.....lol blow out of it huh??? you're day will come....just you wait and see....
Secret... i just read your reply that said your daughter has a nervous stomach...
This is very interesting because I also suffered this for 30 years before I found out I was a celiac... there may be something to it because nerves and stress can indicate an allergy of some sort...
I just thought this was worth saying because indications of allergies are flatulence, running to the loo because you're stressed or nervous indicating an already up set system...
Just my two cents - I still think it's hillarious though but she'll grow out of it really she's finding her feet, 13! my goodness give her a little while before it really sinks in that she likes a boy and then I bet you she'll stop.
I only ever pass wind in front of my husband and no-one else... too embarassing but still bodily functions are always ging to be laughed at.
Once I did a burp camping with my hb and it truly sounded like a camel fart! if you could imagine one... ooh it was so loud and nasty you could smell it! eek! {{am laughing now uncontrollably}}
I remember a time in high school that I needed to fart so bad but waited for class to get over so everyone would leave the room. But the girl in front of me wanted to stay and study some more, so when I stood up to leave I couldn't help it and farted right in her face. She jumped up real quick and I was so embarrassed!
Now I think girls who truly get upset about passing gas in front of people are being silly because it is a natural body function and after surgery it is necessary often times. Don't worry about it unless the gas is accompanied by stomach cramps, it is natural.
Secret....LOL.......would you ever imagined thar a post about this topic would have had so many hits?
.....It makes you wonder how great SC is.....we can go from deeply discussing the sort of the universe to Iraq and Bush, from the bible to farting girls.....amazing..
too funny...so real....LOL...
It's easy to see which blogs are popular around here.
I had a girlfriend once who would tilt one leg up, shake it and let the wind break. We lived in an apartment once with a bathroom that was not at all sound proof. One evening during a card game she excused herself to visit the facilities. The sound effects from in there were so strong I had to ask if she wasn't tuning a trombone.
My uncle, when he was a young man in Denmark, was walking behind two young women when one of them let one out. He called out to her, "Did you call me, sweetie?"
Teach your daughter this: after farting aloud she sould say, "It wasn't me; it was the asshole behind me."
hotaka: you are too funny.
I have to admit that I once (accidentally) let one rip while watching TV with my boyfriend (we lived together). I blamed it on my cat, and he believed me! For a couple of years, he kept telling everyone the story of this incredible farting cat. Until one of his friends said, "I'll bet kruuyai let one rip and just blamed it on the cat." I couldn't keep from laughing, and so the cat was out of the bag. :p
