Kids and your sex life at home

[celtic239]

I hate to tell you this but it gets worse as they get older. When mine were in grade school we knew exactly when they would get home and that they went to bed early. As they got into to high school they were coming home unexpectantly at different times of the day. Thank God they all graduated and two are out of the house away at college.
I guess that we gave up our nocturnal pursuits in our 30's and 40's for the sake of the kids. We are NOT having a problem with the empty nest syndrome.

It is nice to say a 9pm bedroom time, but the reality is: Teenagers have to piss too! Our boys bathroom is right next to our bedroom. We have taught them to always knock on our door, and we always lock the door when we are playing, but it seems that at least once a month we are just "getting to the good part" when someone knock on the door because (teenage boys) they forgot to tell us that they need lunch money or some such thing. Personally I think they know what we are doing and interupt us just to be dinks, LOL. All of that aside, we have taught them from an early age that we DO need time together regardless of what we are doing. Who knows, we may be talking about xmas presents? As far as playing with others when they are home: NEVER. Not even a quick feel while they are around regardless of where we are. That just does not cut it. You never know when they (or someone) else may show up. Adn like I said, just telling them to stay in thier rooms is not enough, are you going to give them a bucket to pee in? What if they get sick and need you? Nope, never play when the kids aren't away.

Well, it helps that we have a lock on our door!

Our kids range from 13 to 6. We have never tried to hide the fact that we are amorous and they each (to some degree) understand that mom and dad like to enjoy "private time" together. The older kids understand a little more about what it means to be sexual (we are generally very open about sexual topics).

That having been said, we are generally sexual either after they are asleep or before they awake in the morning. In those instances when they are in the house and awake, we tell them that mom and dad are going to have "private time" and we lock the door. For us, that has worked well.

We both have kids with our ex-spouses. the one thing they are good for is watching the kids for us when we need time alone for us or to go party.

Our kids have a consistent bedtime, so we pretty much only have sex when they're in bed for the night. Once in a while, we'll send our son (8) downstairs to play video games and our daughter (6) usually follows--we have an arts & crafts area set up for her. They know that they are not to enter our room without knocking, and I always knock (even on the door frame) before entering theirs. So far, it's worked pretty well. But I'm sure as they get older and figure out what we're up to, it'll get more challenging.

As for playtime with others, I'm very lucky that my mother-in-law likes to take them for sleepovers.

I would agree with exceptions of course, we uses to meet a couple with kids the same ages as ours, the kids loved to play together and well so did the adults!!
