OMG! I wish I’d read this last year! I experienced the same thing year! (in all fairness, I did explain in reasonable way that sex wasn’t bad, etc. And we switched the den with 10′s room. Now, she rolls a towel up at the bottom of her bedroom door.)

OMGosh! I’m not sure what I would do. My children are all 6 and under so I’m not sure they would understand, but we always lock the door because I’m super nervous about stuff like that.

I like your approach though!

I like the back-atcha approach, perhaps a note on your CLOSED door reading something like this:

“Dear children,
As you have suggested that dad and I should keep our sex lives to ourselves, you might not want to open this door any time soon.
Love,
Mom”

First of all, I had to pick myself off the floor from laughing so hard from this one.

Okay, BRAVO to your daughter who trusted you enough to discuss the subject of sex even it only involved you and the better half. You have taught her well, so I wouldn’t be embarrassed about that part. I would just be concerned about how loud I was yelling when she decided she needed to send a little note my way to pipe it down at night.

As far as the rest – you’ll either have to write a note and stick it on the backside of your bedroom door to remind you to lock it each night just “in case”.

So I dread this exact scenario one day happening, but I think you handled it very well. I cannot believe she wasn’t too embarassed to write that note. I know I would’ve been

Now that I’ve finished cracking up…
I think you’ve given the right advice to yourself – it happens, tell her to stick a pillow over her head next time it gets to her. And yeah, get that no sex under my roof rule firmly established before she’s even considering it.
Next time though, you might want to try being a bit quieter! lol

Okay, I’m just cracking up here, sorry, before I even venture to give you assvice, your daughter is a riot! I think you should invest in some ear plugs for your kids .

But seriously, yeah, I think it’s time for a talk; if she’s old enough to be writing you notes and giving a bit of attitude, she’s old enough to deal with boundaries and, uh, whatever you said… I think that’s a perfect segue into the whole subject.

Now that we finally got our bedroom back, perhaps we’ll have similar troubles at some point. We should be so lucky .

I think everyone has valid responses and I couldn’t have said it any better. Your kids are lucky that you talk to them about it, that you’re open. My mom would have never talked to me about it, or even been open to begin with.

That being said, take that opportunity and run with it!

Good luck! HAH!

What a great post! So hilarious. Thanks for being open and honest enough to share- despite your husband’s objections. LOL

As for advice? I think you’ve gotten enough from all these other smart mommies. Just wanted to comment and let you know how much I enjoyed reading it.
