caught in the act, what do i do??lol
| Sun, 03-07-2004 - 11:02am |
i just have to ask, has anyone else been caught doing to mattress mambo by a little wide-eyed sleepy head? last night makes the THIRD time that dd 4 1/2 has caught me and my dh going at it, and i'm getting a little worried about how we're going to afford the therapy sessions! the first time she caught us we had to explain the basics of the birds and the bees in order to convince her that daddy wasn't hurting mommy, that i actually liked it, and i was ok with that, because i figured she would have to hear it sometime and at least she was hearing it from me. we explained all that, and went over the nighttime rules, that if she needs us in the night that she is to stay in her bed and call us, not come looking for us. fine, end of story right? well a couple of months later is happened again, but this time it wasn't that bad, we had the covers on and i don't think she saw anything. but then last night dh and i were getting it on, and we look up to see a little face peeking around the bookshelf watching avidly! now dh and i have been together for a loooong time, and many years and two kids later we are having to come up with some interesting ways to keep the spark alive, so dd was treated to a position i doubt you would even find in the kama sutra and some language that would make your average sailor blush beet red. even worse, based on some things she said it was rather obvious that she had been standing there watching for quite a while! and of course dh yelled at her when he saw her standing there, so that makes it even worse. he was just so surprised and horrified to see her watching, he couldn't really help it, but i think that freaked her out more than seeing mommy with her legs up over her head, lol. so now what the heck am i supposed to do?? do i explain that what she witnessed isn't "average" sex, or should i just let it go? what can i say except "i'm sorry honey, mommy and daddy are horny perverts?"

and does anyone else have this problem? what do you do about it? after this last episode we put a large bell on her doorknob, but she is such a quite little mouse and we are such loud horny pervs i don't know that that will do the trick! she sleeps in our room because her litle brother is a terrible sleeper and keeps her up all night, so dh and i are relegated to doing it in the livingroom, so the obvious solution of locking the door won't work. acck! is she going to be ok, or does catching your parents buttneckid in a compromising position traumatize kids for life? lol

I have been there done that. I don't really remember what we told our son, cause he was onlya little over 4 when it happened.
Letsjust say he never say us doing the tango again, we are very careful when and where it happens.
I really don't have any advice for you, but I did think it was funny how you put it...
Good luck.

Sounds to me like you need to fix the sleeping arrangement problem, then you & DH will have a room where you can lock the door for some privacy.
There's a sleep training board here on ivillage, maybe your solution is there.

Anyway, I would try to fix better sleeping arrangments. Figure out a way to get her to sleep by herself....even if she has to sleep on the couch. Or buy a roll away bed....and fix it pretty and tell her thats the big girls bed. Because I don't think it will scar her for life.....but she will NEVER forget it...LOL!

but the sink is sooo hard and lumpy, don't you think that would really kill the mood? roflmao!
the moniter idea is a great one, i think we're gonna have to try that. kinda dumb to buy one AFTER your babies are grown, but we HAVE to do something or the kid's gonna start teaching her peers things that belong in porno no the playground, lol.
thanks for all the thoughts
