Could there be nothing more awkward than getting caught in the act by your parents. At their house? Mamamia regular and soon to be author, Kerri Sackville gives us 4 reasons why she can’t get jiggy with it while her parents are in the house…
There’s nothing better than holiday sex (except for, well, holiday food and holiday sleep). You get to do it at all hours of the day, you get to do it wherever you want, and, if you’re very lucky, someone else is going to wash the sheets for you afterwards.
Of course, I’m talking about holidays without children (which I vaguely remember from about 1,000 years ago). I’m on holidays with children. And that’s a very different kettle of sex.
.
Sex when you’re on holidays with the kids is much like sex when you’re at home with the kids. It happens only at night, in bed, after the children are asleep, and even then only if you can stay awake long enough to do the deed. After all, as any parent knows, a holiday with children is really not a holiday in the true sense of the word, unless you’re rich enough to take with you a butler, nanny and personal chef, in which case you’re no doubt rich enough to have these services at home, in which case you’re no doubt having plenty of sex at home as you’re not exhausted from looking after your kids all alone so this post isn’t relevant anyway.
ANYWAY…. this particular holiday has been even more devoid of sex than usual as my husband and I have been staying with my parents. And let me tell you, staying with one’s parents is NOT conducive to passionate love-making come nightfall (let alone first thing in the morning or in the afternoon). There are several reasons for this:
1. My parents might hear us going at it, and GOD knows I don’t want them knowing I have sex. Okay, so they know I’ve HAD sex (their three grandchildren are a dead giveaway) but they don’t need to know I still do it. I have made it very clear to them that my breeding days are over, and the idea that I might do the deed for recreational value only is WAY too much information for them to handle.
2. My parents might walk in mid-session. This is unlikely, as they do tend to knock, but the only way to know for sure that they will not enter the room while we’re doing the wild thing is for them to be in another house. At least a 20 minute drive away.
3. My parents might be having sex themselves (and yes, my fingers are trembling as I type those words). Of course, it’s highly, highly unlikely that they would do the deed as they are GRANDPARENTS and it is COMPLETELY inappropriate for GRANDPARENTS to engage is this kind of behaviour…. but I suppose it is technically possible. And if it is possible, then it is also possible (and now I’m really shaking) that they are having sex at the same time we are. And I don’t think I need to elaborate on what a truly horrible concept that is.
4. My parents are there. In the other room. And that is just not a sexy thought. Fullstop.
So what about you? Can you get jiggy jiggy when your parents are in the house?

Hmmmm…. well, given that (1) we lived with my parents for a few months between returning from overseas and getting our own place (2) my mum discreetly pointed out that their room, and the TV room, were ‘distant enough’ (out of earshot) from the guest room where we were staying and (3) our first child was born about 9 months later, I think my Dad’s worked a few things out! He’s good with maths, and knows the details of how to work out 40 weeks gestation (LMP ~ 2 weeks before likely date of conception) I think I even remember, when we told him bub’s due date, a conversation that went something like, “Early May, hey? So that means… around….” “Yeah, probably….” End of conversation / change topic! I didn’t actually tell him that I was virtually certain our eldest was conceived there – not just ‘possibly’!
Then there’s the fact that that was his parents room many years ago, and I know for a *fact* that he was *born* in the next room…. yeah, lets not go there! But I tend to have a pragmatic, ‘Yeah, of course they know, they’re not idiots’ approach to these things, as do they. And yes, I’m the same when thinking about them. I know, but we’re *not* gonna talk about it.
But no, in response to some ideas in the original article, the idea that my parents would have sex for recreational purposes, with fertile years long behind them, is OK with me, not ‘ick’ at all, and I’d like to think they’re not bothered by what we did in the years overseas when I didn’t want a child half a world away from family support! All rather obvious / normal / acceptable – but not talked about at length. Not since my mum’s efforts to ensure, in the lead-up to our wedding, that I had a solid understanding of contraceptive options if and when we’d be wanting them. I think the spacing of their grandchildren has them convinced further conversation is unwarranted.

re the article title, i don’t believe any O’s were had by any teeange girls at my parents house. lots of sex, but no O’s! i’m sure that’s the norm

I’m 13 and i’ve caught my parents having sex in the master bathroom because they thought I was busy watching tv. Worst parts 1. I was going to tell them I was going to sleep. 2. My dad had his shirt on – pants off and was closing the door. Seeing my dads privates- not something ever on my bucket list. So parents — do it when your kids are asleep or not in the house please.

Sex? I don’t think I remember what that is! 15 years together and three kids later sex is an occasional activity. Sometimes a distant memory. I wish I could say I was heading toward grandparent land but my eldest is only five! I feel like I am in a confessional booth! Quite scary really, not least of all because I am Jewish.
loading...
i have two things to mention:
1. my grandparents do not know that i was concieved in their bed (apparently).
2. My husbands aunty has this story of when her mother was staying at her house babysitting for a time while she had to work. her and her husband got randy in their bedroom one day, but accidently left the baby monitor on (young baby had been sleeping in bassinette in parents room at that time) so that her mother could hear the whole shebang unless she turned her monitor end off. its a story that gets laughed about occasionally, all in good humour

Must be time for Western cultures next sexual revolution. Time to lose some inhibitions.

Being a uni student with a partner who is a uni student, it’s been at the parents house or it’s not at all for a while, but I think it’s meant we have more polite habits now, one of my boyfriend’s housemates commented that we were the only couple in the house she hadn’t heard going for it! And I like to pretend my family doesn’t know what happens when my boyfriend stays the night, but my younger sister dragged me into a lingerie shop when shopping to look at sexy knickers! Gross!
loading...
I’m not feeling very well. Can we not do this topic again.
loading...
I’ve already been very share-y below, so I may as well add this bit, but there are no more revelations to be had after this, I promise…..
Picture this, 1985, Year 12 gathering of friends and boyfriends at a property, with a bonfire to sit around. Catholic school girls, mind you. Huge machinery shed in the background, with a massive floodlight hanging off it. Occasionally couples would sneak off to their car for a while. The next morning one of my friends said: “Were you on top at one stage?” Thinking back to my drunken state the evening before, managed to recollect that maybe I was at one point. Friend says: “Yeah, we all thought it was you. The floodlight was shining through the car and we could all see”.
Mmmmm, thanks for warning me, friend.
I nearly didn’t go to the 10 year reunion out of shame, but none of the same people were there, phew!
loading...
My partner our two kids and I lived with my Mum for about 2 years. I was OK as long as I couldn’t hear her. If she was in the kitchen stacking the dishwasher or I could hear her watching TV, NO WAY! However we did conceive and have a third child whilst living there so I guess she knew.
loading...
I have been umming and ahhing about whether to add to this post, as the story I have is still disturbing me somewhat! But – in the interest of ‘getting it off my chest’ I think I will… maybe it could help?
This Christmas my family came to visit us to celebrate the day, as being 37 weeks pregnant (and previously having had a very premmie baby), travelling interstate really wasn’t an option this year. On Christmas morning at about 7.30am I was wondering why my 2 year old daughter hadn’t come to wake us up yet (normally a 6.30am riser!). She wasn’t in her own room so I ventured to the guest bedroom where my parents were staying as sometimes she climbs into bed with them in the mornings.
The door to the room was open, and the blinds were also open so the room was bright and airy. I walked in – and right there i front of me were my parents, having sex. Now normally, this wouldn’t bother me (good on them for still having an active sex life in their 50′s!) but right beside them (ASLEEP THANK GOODNESS) was my daughter. Now… I stood there in shock for at least 30 seconds, trying to comprehend what I was seeing and also making damn sure my daughter was sleeping – and then took a few steps out of the room and the made a whole lot of noise before walking back in and taking my daughter out of the bed. They had stopped by that stage – but they looked sheepish and weren’t sure if I knew what they had been up to.
I was SO dirty about. I felt it was VERY inaproppriate. It was mentioned later on and I told them how I felt about it – but they seemed to think it was funny and not a big deal because my daughter had been asleep and was none the wiser. I still feel uncomfortable about it though – or am I just being a prude?
I don’t think I am – I certainly am not one. Like I said, normally I’d high five them for their nookie – and hell, I have no probs finding some quiet time for some nookie of my own when visiting my parents…
Anyways I digress – brilliant post Kerri! Thanks for the giggle.
And thanks also for letting me have a bit of a vent (even though it’s a bit off topic to what we are supposed to be discussing!).
loading...
oh my god…
loading...
ummm…. with your daughter IN THE BED with them?!?!?!?! ok – NOT OK with me. like…. yes she was asleep but could have easily woken – its one thing to walk in on someone, another to wake up w them having sex in the bed next to you! (even though only a toddler). It feels a little ick to me so I can understand you freaking out! Seems kinda strange to me that they couldnt restrain themselves while their granddaughter was visiting?! You poor thing!
loading...
This is mortifying. I don’t have children yet but I still feel quite strongly that this is not okay! What did your partner think about it?
Makes me wonder if you have any repressed memories from your childhood…
loading...
I think I am speechless. Doesn’t happen much lol. Ick ice ick. Was it too much toast them to restrain themselves for one night. Shudder. You poor thing.
loading...
Thanks guys – glad I am not the only one horrified by the whole thing. My husband agrees with me and thinks it was very wrong for them to have done that – but is thankful our daughter was asleep and will never know anything about it.
It certainly has made us more aware now of the need for very strict boundaries and not just assume that everyone knows it’s NOT okay to behave like that. I mean really… who would have ever thought they would need to have that conversation with their parents? “Um, Mum and Dad? Please don’t have sex while your grand daughter is in bed with you. Thanks.”
Aaarrgrggghhh, here I go venting again. I am just so CROSS!
loading...
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
loading...
oh sweet baby Jesus say this didn’t happen. I actually had to stop & put my head on the desk & regroup. slow deep breaths…
loading...
Maybe they were half way through when granddaughter walked in and didn’t want to lose the moment?
loading...
Oh dear. This doesn’t sit right with me at all… what were they thinking?!?! I wouldn’t be a happy camper if this happened to me and my child. So very wrong!!!
loading...
I can so relate, we stayed with my parents at Xmas many years ago, my son was 6, and slept in their room on a folding bed. My parents ,who were in their 60′s were doing same thing, with the bedroom door OPEN, i could hear them, i was horrified and slammed my bedroom door shut, so i think they knew … that i knew .. breakfast the next morning was awkward. I shudder thinking about it. I just hope my son was asleep, and the next night i moved the bed into our room, with us and my other son … SO not right
(
loading...
not ok
loading...
a similar thing happened to me…except i was 9 and it was my parents….we all went on holiday together and stayed in a caravan.so my parents in the foldout double bed on one side an my brother and i in bunk beds on the other side…literally two metres between each. i woke up in the middle of the night to hear my parents going at it. i pretended to be asleep but could clearly see my mum on top of my dad.at that age i did know what sex was so i knew what they were doing…..needless to say i didnt know what to do so just laid there,pretended to be asleep and waited for it to stop.
im 21 now and still scarred for life…..they never knew even till this day that i was awake.
Parents…..i dont care how horny u are….its emotionally damaging for a child to witness their parents doing it so CONTROL YOURSELF
loading...
I have the same memories from a family holiday – It will never leave me totally unacceptable imo.
My parents to this day are still keen as nympho’s
loading...
Honestly… I find it sad that we make sex out to be such a dirty thing in our society. Truth, that id never be okay with having sex with children around… However, you should be happy that your parents love eachother… And not think of it as being emotionally scarring.
loading...
It’s abnormal for a few western cultures (US, Aus, UK, Canada etc), but for the rest of the world, sex is not a dirty word around children. Children co-sleep with their parents and sex, which is a big form of pleasure, is just a part of life.
My take on it is that no harm was done. It was, in the very big picture, just sex. But yeah, if you don’t like it then you’ll have to refrain from your parents looking after your children, as you can’t control what happens when you’re not there. Sounds like your parents are good people, so I’m sure they weren’t intending to scar your child.
loading...
Anything that ups the risk factor does it for me, so sex at my inlaws house was always great fun, until one night when we were going for it, hoping that the sound of the rain outside would mask some of the noise, when it started to hail really hard and my MIL thought she should come in and wake us to move our car.
NEVER AGAIN.
loading...
I am about to move into my parents house with my boyfriend. This is after living out of home for 7 years. They need someone to look after my Grandmother who lives in the Granny flat so they can go overseas for a few months, return home for a few months and then go again. Expect to be there for 18 months.
Must say a little nervous about how this is going to work. Then again whenever we stay there now we seem to manage it so I am sure that will continue. We will just have to get used to the “quieter version”.
The thing I am going to miss the most is not being able to walk around naked or in a half dressed state. Also the fact that we will now be limited to the bedroom only
loading...
My mother and father were away for a few days last year. When she came back she had a little rash on her neck. Or at least that’s what I thought it was until I pointed it out and she started giggling. She had A LOVE BITE. They should be illegal for anyone with children – the images. Oh the images. I am still getting over it.
loading...
I recently moved back home to save up some money to move interstate with my BF, so when he comes to visit from interstate he stays at our house. At first it was a bit worrying, but 10 months later it’s all roses – we have gotten over the ‘ick’ factor as the alternative is NOT AT ALL and this turned out not to be an option hahaha. I did sit down with my mum before he visited the first time and explained that I’m 21 now but will respect her wishes as it’s not my house, but she said that she doesn’t mind at all. Woo mum!
loading...
My MIL has always been very anti sex before marriage. From what my FIL has told me, she was rarely in favour of it afterwards.
loading...
OMG my mother was super anti sex before marriage to the point that after she suspected my ex bf and I had shared a shower she went into a mourning period that lasted years!! She also refused to come to my house when i moved in with my now husband before we were married as we were living in sin. Fast forward a couple years and she came to stay with us in toronto and we were all sleeping in our open plan New York stye loft (thats right same bloody room)…. two horrific moments 1. MUM: “do you want me to go for a walk around the block” KATE: “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP”
2. Having to try convince my husband while he was trying to get on top of me that we could not attempt to have sex as not only can my mum hear us… SHE CAN SEE US!!!! KILL ME NOW!!!
loading...
LOL on the “living in sin” part. My parents did that too, for a while, but I guess they’re inured to our sinful lifestyle because now they stay at our house multiple times a month! I miss the good ol’ days when the spiritual taint of our home drove them away.
loading...
I still live at home! And my boyfriend is pretty much a regular sleepover buddy so while he doesn’t seem to mind that my family is down the hall, I sure as hell do! We live in a very old house and one movement makes all the walls shake. It’s horrific.
loading...
My fiance and I have had to move in with my mum, and it is also an old old house which creaks and shudders at any small movement. Add to that is our wooden bed frame that makes simply rolling over sound suspiciously as though there is an orgy taking place. Groan. My poor mother must think we have se 7 times a day. As if.
There’s definitely been a few close calls, particularly in the early days before we had realised how much noise was being made… Now we leave it until we are the only ones home, a not so regular occurance. Its without doubt one of the most frustrating living situations imaginable. Last night we were anticpating an evening home alone, and my mum actually sent a warning text message that her plans had changed and she would be home. I’m so horrified she might have considered a warning necessary because of what she thought she might come home to if she didn’t. Now on almost a daily basis my fiance and I look at each other an say simultaneously during some awkward or disappointing situation “we need to get out”.
Meanwhile, until that joyous day, we have purchased a new bed which will hopefully be slightly more forgiving on the odd chance that we just can’t restrain ourselves, or just want to sleep on our other side without giving my mother a stroke.

Send them all out for ice cream and go for it!
loading...
What flavour ?
loading...
Brilliant, post, have just had a week staying at my in laws and this topic came up with my husband and our friends. It seems if the house is large and grandparents are a long way away then it’s ok but not so if house is small and they are right next door.
Personally I find the whole thing so unsexy that not even an episode of True Blood could put me in the mood.
Thanks for the laugh.
loading...
LOL @ how many people interpreted Kerri’s words literally instead of getting the jokes. I thought the over-exaggeration of words was a dead give-away, but apparently not =P I’m sure she is too lovely to actually mean to offend anyone, so don’t stress guys =)
As for sex at the parents’…my parents’ place, big no. When I lived there I didn’t mind because my parents converted the garage into a spare bedroom, so they were always at the other end of the house. When I moved out, they turned that into Dad’s junk room and now the spare room they give us is dangerously close to theirs. Pass, thanks!
At the in-laws I don’t mind, because MIL cleverly places us in the spare room up the other end, instead of in one of the two spare rooms close to their bedroom.
So I’m not adverse to the idea per se, there just has to be a few rooms in between! And no chance of them walking in, so it only ever happens at night after they’ve gone to bed first!
loading...
O dear!
loading...
LOL – never said I was innocent, even dad knows that!
loading...
Hahahaha!
loading...
Hmmmm, all this reminds me of the time I met my future FIL, we were given a bedroom one away from his (like, a spare one in the middle), but even so he asked my husband the next morning if we could move the bedhead out from the wall just a little bit for the rest of our stay. Mortification.
But even that wasn’t as bad as accidentally leaving a pair of knickers down the side of a sofa at a boyfriend’s parents’ house, and having them nicely presented to me at my next visit, washed, dried, folded, maybe even ironed.
loading...
oh gawd – would have curled up and died at being presented iwth the knickers. Either that or vehemently denied they were mine…
loading...
Er, Janelle. This EXACT thing happened to me too soon after I started dating my last boyfriend. Although he’d moved out, his mother was still doing his laundry (whole other issue), she waited out our whole visit to present him with his neatly folded linens, one pair of black lace knickers as the cherry on top.
Needless to say, the mortification was so acute I simply had no choice but to marry him.
Our best man threatened to use this story at the wedding.
loading...
As least it all worked out in the long run.
I don’t need to see the ex’s mum any more, nor my FIL as he passed away since. But she’ll always be your MIL!!!!
loading...
I think I have a worse one.
Just before I moved out of home, I ordered some stuff online – with crotchless and slightly kinky g-string. After carefully handwashing it while my parents were out, my boyfriend and I put them to use one night. Obviously, the last thing I was going to do was put them in the regular hamper, so I added them to the pile of washing in my bedroom.
Them my mum, the gem that she is, decided to help me with my move-out packing by coming into my room, collecting my dirty washing, and washing it. I came home to find my crotchless g-string washed and on my bed.
Not only would my mum have been very aware of sex under her roof, but also that the sex was slightly kinky. I hope to God my dad wasn’t the one to bring in the washing – that gives 2 parents knowledge. 2 parents too many!
loading...
Yep, that would be worse.
Did she leave it on the top of the clean washing, like a trophy? Or buried within?
loading...
Similar story to my one of my friends. Having recently moved from the states to marry her now husband, her PIL converted their garage into a mini home for them, so they could save some cashola to pay off said wedding.
Despite being at the other end of the block, and a whole story down, her FIL presented his son with a pillow to er… “help” muffle some of the headboard sounds.
I laughed for weeks!
loading...
Does not bother me at all. I actually think it’s a pretty short-sighted attitude of Kerri Sackville to be totally grossed out at the idea of parents having sex. Whilst I don’t actually want to picture it, the fact that my parents (67 & 70) are still having sex shows- they are affectionate, happy and satisfied and after 45 years of marriage, I’m proud of them for that. My husband & I having sex in their house is not a big deal for me at all- if we feel in the mood, we go for it.
loading...
I’ll tell you something more awkward.
My dad and my step mum doing it. At my house. Loudly.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
loading...
I can go one worse – my friend heard his step-mum making sexy moaning sounds in the bedroom, then realised his dad was away on business, and she was in there by herself! Ewewewewew
loading...
Gross.
I did leave out one detail though… we could only hear my dad, and they were definatley both in room together. My husband reckons she had her mouth full.
Oh no, now I’M gagging.
loading...
Got busted at 18 with my boyfriend at 4am in the kitchen. I was sitting on the kitchen bench, boyfriend was on his knees, head between mine.. Mum walked in for a glass of water. Then changed her mind. I still shiver with embarrassment when I think about it – 15 years later. Am ruined for life and sex in the house I grew up in will never happen again.
loading...
Not going to happen. Full stop end of discussion.
loading...
My husband and I have been on many holidays with my parents, and have had always ‘relations’ as often as we wanted to. They know we are married for goodness sake, and they seem pleased that we have a healthy sex life. They are always happy to look after our kids when we go away as a couple, because they know we can then have the magical hotel sex, so I can’t imagine it would bother them to know we were having it under the same roof.
Now, if you want to talk embarrassing, well that would be the time my husband and I were staying with our newborn twins at my parents, and my husband was trying to comfort one of them (a baby, I mean) in the middle of the night. He was failing miserably and the crying got louder and louder. I was busy feeding the other baby when my mum walked in to take the crying baby from him. Did I mention he sleeps naked? His modesty was only protected by the baby’s swaddling, which had come unravelled. It was semi-dark thank God, but thence ensued a pantomine of mum trying to get her grandchild, husband insisting he was ok with her, mum insisting back, husband turning away (thereby exposing his naked arse but protecting his bits from view), until finally mum wrested the baby from him, leaving him completely exposed.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or get cross at him – I don’t know how many times I had told him to cover up when out of bed! My mum, who is pretty down to earth, just took the baby, turned on her heel and jiggled off, careful not to look *down*. I was so sleep deprived and grateful for any assistance that I didn’t care that my mum might have just seen my husband’s wedding tackle, but I think my husband might still cringe at the memory, six years later…
loading...
Meh. Doesn’t phase me. Sex is normal. Everyone does it. We’re all mature adults. We try to keep the noise down, of course, but we still do it wherever we are!
Only person that’s ever walked in on us is my mum, who had a laugh & said “oops sorry guys!”
There was one time when I was still living at my grandparents home, everyone was out, we decided to have some fun… Buck naked, in the hallway… We’d both just come when we heard the door start to unlock, he bolted into my room, I crawled sideways into the study. Sat curled up on the floor for a couple of mins before making a naked dash for my room. My partner was half dressed, both of us going “oh crap! I hope that wasnt my grandparents coming home!” A minute later I get a text message from my mum saying, “Sprung ya! Hehe!”
My mum is awesome!
loading...
As far as my parents are concerned, we have only done it 3 times, once for each child. And they have only done it 3 times too, once for each child …..at least, that’s what I like to believe
loading...
My husband and I live with my father in law, so if we didn’t do it while he was in the same house we might never do it! :S
loading...
Now I know what my parents meant when they said, ” Now Bradley…listen to us “. Haven’t stop laughing all afternoon !
loading...
I dont know what all the fuss is about. Truly. I’m edging close to 70 and I still like sex, so where is this idea coming from that when one is a certain age that sex not on the agenda. A bit sad really.
I’d be more worried if my 14 year old daughter was having sex in my holiday house with boyfriend – but as the elderly owner of the house then I guess that everyone should enjoy themselves – quietly!!!
loading...
I think Kerri was joking about the “grandparents can’t have sex” part.
loading...
Jules with all due respect, how does a 70 year old have a 14 year old daughter???
loading...
Well obviously my daughter is not 14 – not any longer, but I have a friend with a young daughter and I hear the worry she puts out. And further to that, I have a seven year old granddaughter who is alread showing just what a strong person she is, and I guess that when she is 14 it will be a great battle at times. Not just about sex, but all those other “issues”.
loading...
Julie I wasn’t implying that one shouldn’t have sex after a certain age. I was just saying I don’t want to think of CERTAIN people of a certain age having sex, i.e. the ones who are my parents. I didn’t want to think of them having sex when they were in their thirties, and I don’t want to think of it now!
loading...
Weeeell, a few Christmas’s ago my boyfriend and I had sex in the shower at my in laws place (he literally can not go without having sex in the shower if I’m in there with him) after, he told me his dad said “so, Christmas sex, aye?” I was SOO embarrased, yet it didn’t stop us attempting it again months later. Only for said father to walk in the bathroom to talk to him. Luckily the glass is frosted and he got the hint and took off!! Sheesh!!
loading...
What kind of parents do you have when you say you don’t want them knowing you and your husband (for god’s sake) have SEX!!! Sorry, but I find that a bit WEIRD, actually. Also, if you’re having a holiday AT your parents house WITH your kids, is there no chance of somehow bribing them to look after the little ones for the night while you and the hubster slip out to the nearest motel or beach carpark even. Sheesh, how hard is it if you REALLY want to get some action on a holiday, especially when there are potential babysitters.
loading...
“You don’t want them knowing you have sex”… er…. I think you’re taking this just a TAD too literally!
loading...
well, … you did seem to emphasise that in your several reasons for not wanting your folks to know you are having sex as in point no.1 and this whole piece you’ve written seems to be saying that as well :0
loading...
Look up the word “hyperbole”.
loading...
My parents in law are both Deaf : )
loading...
That’s a bonus !!
loading...
No no and no lol. I barely kiss my hubby when I am staying at his parents house. The walls are paper thin. It’s in the country, so it is dead quiet. Plus the kids are on the other side of the other wall. So not a turn on. He would love to, me not so much lol.
I can hear his dad snoring in the next room, need I say anymore??? Ewwwwwwww times 1000, no thank you. Even if it was a quickie, as Bradley rightly points out LOL
loading...
I’d imagine that if you were having sex with your average Australian male at your parent’s place…It wouldn’t really take that long. So, you could both be out of the room for two or three minutes and when you returned the parents would be none the wiser.
loading...
lol can i do it at my parents place- ummmm… HELL YES! I’ve done it in their spare room, shower and their spa and even on one memorable occasion on the driveway (ok so they weren’t home at the time of the driveway but still)
loading...
Sex, do people still do that?
loading...
Of course….when there’s nothing good on the tele !
loading...
4 nights a week in our house minimum
Unless we are being visited by the “monthly kill joy fairy”

Slightly off topic, but I was telling my friend who is studying aged care that apparently oldies right up until their 90s claim to have a regular sex life.
I wondered if I would still be getting jiggy in my 90s, when she suggested our own grandparents would be the best indicator and to ask about it at Christmas.
Not going to happen.

So we had my mother and father, my brother, his partner and his daughter and my 2 children all in a house together for Xmas.
Attempted jiggy despite serious misgivings only to discover that our bedhead rocked against the wall (where my mother and father lay in the next room) at crucial moment and it was all ‘no’ not ‘O’ from there on!

I always got along well with my ex-in-laws – in the decade after the divorce I’d still take my kids (their grandkids) for holiday stays at their place at the coast.
All well and good while I was a single mum. But now I’ve remarried…they’re not even my parents, or his parents… they’re my ex-husband’s parents.
My husband and I have stayed there but it’s a little… awkward.

We recently spent new years with the inlaws and actually slept in their bed (they relocated kindly so that we weren’t too far from our baby), whilst getting this organised my (actually very awesome) MIL, knowing we’re trying for baby #2 told me ‘…and feel free to make babies in our bed!’ OMG – MORTIFICATION!
We stayed earlier in the year whilst they were actually away (again in their bed) and couldn’t do it then…NO WAY were we doing it with them just next door!
We were also recently sprung by our littlie…not quite as mortifying as she had no idea what we were doing!

Here’s a question: Would you prefer to be sprung on the job by your kids or your parents?

Hmm kids def you can always spin some extraordinary tale.
Having “cuddles” with my husband my 3 year old yelled from his room “Hey! What are you guys doing?!”
Lol my husband and I both wet ourselves laughing.

Oh GOD!
Probably kids. They might need therapy… but if my parents walk in on us, we ALL will.

I walked in on my parents when I was 10. Old enough to know what they were doing..
My BF and I both live at home. At my place I will only do it if my parents aren’t home-our bedrooms are next door to each others. Also my door is pretty thin.

I walked in on my parents going for it completely naked with the light on when I was 13 and I definitely old enough to know what it was…scarred for life is not an exaggeration.

I attempted to have sex at the in-laws house once many years ago…I was drunk and woke up the next morning spooning their fifteen year old Corgi*…who knows what happened to my husband but the dog died soon after. I refuse to believe I contributed to his demise.
*I was fully clothed, though quite dishevelled.

That’s given me a great laugh Lisa

From all the parents our there – please don’t try this at home, it poses an above average healthy relationship risk! But if you just HAVE too – remember your parents may be having sex too…..right next door

What did you do when you were a teen then?

By the time I was 18, my boyfriend lived alone. Before then…. *shudders at memories*
