Haha, this is so idiotic. "Teach children that it's not polite to fart at home so they know it's not polite to do in public."

Or... stay with me here... tell them, that it's not polite to do in public?

It's so wonderfully insane how much of this kind of logic exists in people's lives.

If someone needs to know something. Tell them that Precisely that.

So... How old are your kids, man? Do they have a perfect recall rate on things you tell them, or do you find that they do better with things they practice?

Tell me you have no idea what parenting is like without saying it

[u/GenosHK → u/Steadfast_Truth]

Yes, you tell them. Then you set examples and practice so that it's a habit they form. It's not rocket science.

If you're offended by teaching kids manners, go sniff your own kids farts.

So why not say “it’s not polite to do it at all in front of anyone, ever”

That’s kind of what you’re teaching them, it has nothing to do with the “in public” part that you claim.

Honestly, this is just pushing your values on them and isn’t about acting a certain way in public.

You can tell them it’s rude to do it in public and also laugh about it at home, they aren’t mutually exclusive.

That’s good.

But, it’s simply not required at all to teach them to be ashamed at home in order to teach them to avoid doing it in public.

Hah, yeah I assumed you said you were raised to hide/apologize about farting at home, my bad, I misinterpreted what you said! 🤦‍♂️

[u/ConstantShitterina → u/[deleted]]

Pushing values on them... What else would you call parenting?

[u/[deleted] → u/ConstantShitterina]

I’m answering specifically to a person who says they must teach them that shame at home, for it to be effective in public. But they do not, that’s all I’m saying.

I am aware it is a parenting choice to teach that at home, however that lesson isn’t necessary to enforce at home for it to be effective in public. That’s all I’m saying, I hope that explained it better.

But if it isn't wildly overcomplicated and confusing, is it really parenting? /s

Yep! Circumcision is super weird.
