Default Re: Having a few couples over with kids in the house

With that many people, I think the children should go somewhere else for the evening. When our kids were that age we sometimes played when they were at home, but never with more than one other couple. Even then, we would keep our play well away from the kids. The pool worked well since we had a good view of the back door and a motion-sensing light would alert us should the kids come out. We would have had plenty of time to "get right" before they got to the pool. The bedroom worked well because the doors have locks.

Five couples can make a bit of noise when playing. Worse, the noises would be some that your kids are likely not really used to, which are more apt to wake them up.

Drop-in baby sitting services are available. We, too, didn't like them because the care for the kids tends to be a bit "impersonal." Still, it beats hell out of a situation with two young kids in the house while ten people are fucking with not a single thought of the kids in their minds. Both y'all and your guests would be far more at ease if the kids are away.
