Apparently I did when I was three. They told me they were wrestling.

I have no memory of this, so it didn’t scar me for life or anything.

Sex is part of life and an enjoyable part. It's time to change the Puritan attitude and embrace what you enjoy. You need to see someone about this issue. Did you really compare sexnto a bowel movement?

Yes, but not the full Monty! My parents live just a few houses away from us and we have an open door policy where if you need something you just call ahead and if no one answers you walk over and are free to enter. So my three year old and I walk over mid afternoon and go into the kitchen. My parents MBR is right near the kitchen and as we enter we hear noises from their room. I’m pretty sure I know what’s going on and know why they didn’t answer the phone and I want to make a quick escape but my daughter yells “grandma, are you here?”. A few seconds later my mother rushes out in her robe and just rolls her eyes. I’m just glad my daughter hadn’t just run into their room.

I make sure dh and I kiss in front of our kids. We hug and hold hands sometimes too. I think that’s part of kids knowing their parents love each other.


My 4 year old recently said that “Nana really loves Grandpa because she’s always hugging him. Do you love Daddy”? Big life lesson right there.

My parents are in the 60’s and they have about half a dozen fake candles by their bed and I’m pretty sure they are not their for reading.

I have a vague memory of being 8-9 and finding my parents on living room floor naked after coming home from neighbor's house. Why they were in the living room vs bedroom, idk. As an adult it's just icky to think about.

A few years ago my husband and I were in a hotel and the couple in the room next to us were clearly enjoying themselves including some banging of the head board. We didn’t bother banging on the wall as it was pretty entertaining. We followed suit but kept it down! As we were leaving our room the next morning the other couple came out of their room and they were definitely in their 60’s. I had to do my best to keep my husband from congratulating the guy.

When I was in HS we lived in a big house where my parents room was at the far end and we had two sets of stairs to the second floor. 99% of the time I used the back stairs and so did my siblings. One night I used the front stairs and when I went by their room the sounds they were making behind a closed door made it very clear what was going on. While I was a virgin I wasn’t clueless but I assumed that old people (late 40’s haha) didn’t have sex. They are now in their late 60’s and it wouldn’t surprise me if they still go at it given how affectionate they are.

Yes, sort of. I was somewhere between 8-10, I think? My dad had just come back from a business trip. I was supposed to be in bed already, but I think I remembered something I wanted to tell him so I walked to their room on the other side of the house. The door was closed and I heard...noises. I didn't know enough to know what I was hearing, but a little voice in my head told me maybe this was not the best time to open the door or knock. So I crept silently back to my room. Boy, am I glad I listened to that little voice!

I think I was around 7 or so and I walked in and saw my mother’s back and she was hopping up and down and making funny noises. I’m sure I was clueless as to what was really going on but smart enough to go back to my room. Sometimes when I’m doing the same thing I look behind me to make sure the door is shut.

Yes, I was around 6 y/o and it was so so so gross. To this day I can't have sex when my parents are staying with us and I couldn't tell them I was pregnant until 20 weeks. I also couldn't bear to have any sex ed discussions with my mom. To me, it's really disturbing and I wanted my parents to be just parents to me. There are a lot of things that don't have to he shared. For example, I don't have to see my H having a bowl bowel movement, although I know he does. It wouldn't improve our relationship.
