Do You Get It on in the Living Room When Kids Are Home and Asleep?

I use to work with someone who summed it up like this:

When you're first married - you have whole house sex - anywhere anytime.
When kids come along, after they are a few years old - you have bedroom sex - when you have time - if you're not too tired.
By the time the kids are teens - sex consists of passing each other in the hall and lovingly saying 'screw you' to each other as you head in opposite directions.
By the time the kids are up and off to college, the wife is in menopause and the hubby has prostate problems - the spirit might be willing, but the equipment isn't always working.

I was never worried about her walking in - she slept like the dead most of the time, and if she did wake up and walk in on us, it wasn't the end of the world.

Not really but mostly because we are old and either my knee gets hurt or his back. :(

Now in the pool out back....see that is easy on my knees and his back. :)

Of course, and in the laundry room, and in the kitchen, and the garage, there was that once on the back patio.....car seats flip all the way down, there was the day we got new carpet on the stairs....

But then we have three teenagers, so you think it's tricky NOW, J. wait!

:)

Nope, I'm all about comfort. And washable linens ;)

Yup!
We'll even have a quickie in the bathroom while the kids are playing right outside the door! It's fun!
(We do lock the door, then...) :)

Sure, why not?

I know how long my son sleeps. Anywhere is an option, frankly.

Yeah, but I think I would hear them if they were coming. And my kids are little and would probably believe a wrestling story if it came down to it. :)

Surprisingly, we have not been caught yet.

Hubby and I have been known to become amorous in the living room after the kids go to bed. You have to be hyper vigilant though...which is why it might start there, but we end up in the bedroom.

When the kids are asleep, yes we do it behind unlocked doors.

Oh, yeah... we did that BUNCHES of times! There were times when the dog would get curious about the activity, and try to see what was going on...

btw... we have 4 kids......

Snort... (I really snorted when I read this).. no, kids have kind of killed the spontaneity. That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to the empty nest.

Theresa, you must have a big house. I don't know how you do it.

B - I'm really hoping that's not the case, 'cause I have one more year.

I love naptime on the weekend ;-) hubby also wakes M. up early in the morning for some adult time! (Like 4 am today before he got up for work.) Our kids are young and can't open doors yet, so we never worry about being caught. As they'll get older we'll J. come up with new places, like the shower :) I hate scheduled sex, so I'll continue to do what I must to keep up spontaneity.

Yeah, we do. We would hear the children if they got up and always have a blanket or sheet handy to cover up with in case someone wakes up. My older child knows about sex. She asked about babies, in detail, so we told her the truth. So she knows that mom and dad have "adult relationship time" and respects it in the form of knocking before entering our bedroom.

When it was J. my hubby and I with our DD, heck ya!!!

But my SIL (hubby's younger sister) lives with us now... so I have a really hard time relaxing anywhere she might hear/walk in on us. lol.

My poor hubby!

We've done it in the family room every now and again if we've gotten in the mood once kiddos are in bed. We usually do it in our bedroom but every now and again, it's fun for a little change.

yep! and his bedroom is downstairs, J. off of the living room. when he's older we might have to change that. wait, of course we will, he'll be up later than we are!

When my oldest son was little, yes, anywhere. NOW that they're 5 and 2? Well the 5 year old doesn't sleep very soundly and he seems to be up and down going to the bathroom or whatever, so NO. We have an open floor plan and the living room faces the kids' rooms and their bath. NO. Kitchen, laundry room, our bath, and the back patio, YES. There's something about going outside on a beautiful clear night to look at the stars (very little light pollution here = SO MANY stars!) that gets the romance going. We like to occasionally go to the guest suite, especially after a date night, because it's sort of like hotel sex, being in a new bed (very comfortable room, very nice bath, etc). But no, no living room!

We haven't done it in the living room since we were first married. There is no way we could, but there are several that do!

No way. The only time we do the deed in the living room is when we are home alone. And even then I worry someone is going to come home and catch us!

Other than that, it is strictly in the locked bathroom (shower) or the locked bedroom.

Yes I do. I would close her door not all the way but close enough that u could hear when she opens it,so you will have enough time to stop so she won't see u.And my kids are 6,5,and3 make sure my little one asleep and if he wakes up I bring covers so if anything im Layin on th couch watching tv lol

Sometimes.. :)
But then, my daughter hasn't started climbing out of the crib and walking out of her room yet. Not quite sure how we'd 'handle' it then... :)
