While we don't have kids, we have been guilty of swinging with other couples who do while their kids are home. It's definatley not something we are remotely comfortable with and in most cases we do avoid it. The one occasion that comes to mind was a night when we had all been out together and came home quite late after their kids had long since been asleep. The way their house is set up also helps a bit since there are two doors to go through before accessing their bedroom (which could be locked) - but we would have been able to hear a knock had one of the kids needed anything (and we would have been able to hide I suppose). All in all I think these kids know way more than their parents give them credit for. They are quite open around them and assume that the kids don't "get it". Which also makes us a bit uncomfortable. |
