Our children have seen us 'in the act' enough times that for them the whole thing is rather meh. I will qualify by saying that walk ins have been to under the blankets type action, not ride em cowboy type of action.<br /><br />Nudity in our house is regular and not anything to be commented on. My son chooses not to be nude ever but he respects our choice and doesn't have a problem with it. <br /><br />We speak freely about birds and bees in our house and have moved on, as our children enter puberty and teenagerdom to speak about topics like safe sex, sex outside marraige and other things that they find in their environment. Because of our feelings about monogamy both of us are committed to ensuring our children understand and respect other 'alternative' relationship choices and feel free to make those choices themselves when the time comes.

I would like to adopt a similar approach but given how I was raised, I just don't think that I could be able to it. I still have quite a long way to go before I can shake off my conservative upbringing.<br /><br />Wonderful read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549617923202311175.post-75305230002566749752012-08-30T12:44:30.882-04:002012-08-30T12:44:30.882-04:00Mention of the lightbulbs being changed reminded m...Mention of the lightbulbs being changed reminded me of an episode of the old 1980s sitcom Webster, in which the title character walked in on his adoptive parents having sex, and they told him that they were changing lightbulbs. I watched the show in the presence of older relatives, and I remember becoming visibly embarrassed to the point that I think I left the room.<br /><br />Our daughter has walked in on us a couple times. Her sleep schedule is unpredictable; her naps can last two and a half hours, or they can last twenty-five minutes. She's only two, of course, but we imagine that we'll need to be more careful in the future. We would like to be very open and honest with her, just as you are with your own kids. We'd like her to understand that Jill's and my sexual relationship is private, but also that it's nothing to be afraid of, or even to giggle about. It's just a part of human life. We figure that if we handle it this way now, she's more likely to be a fully-functioning adult later on. Hopefully it won't be an issue for a couple years.<br /><br />I've never walked in on my parents during sex - heaven forbid - but they came very close to walking in on Jill and I earlier this year when they were staying with us, and a two- or three-hour block of errands was inexplicably reduced to forty minutes.<br /><br />-JackJack and Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621526029674020006noreply@blogger.com
