To have sex with my 9mo dd in the room?

[WhoahThereCrazyHorse]

So. Large, child-safe room, DD playing happily on the floor, 5 min shag.

Oh and it's my birthday.

AIBU?

[NickNacks]

I wouldn't.

If she was asleep I would say yes but awake then no.

Yuk.

[AuntiePickleBottom]

yabu.

i couldn't have sex when DC where in the room, didn't feel right

[carriedababi]

While she's awake? No I wouldn't agree its,a bit yuk

[Alliwantisaroomsomewhere]

Not while your child is awake. I agree: Yuck.

[electra]

YANBU - fine imo.

[Pinner35]

No, not whilst your DD is awake.

[electra]

Whether it's 'yuck' is subjective surely. It won't do any damage to the baby.

[colken]

Ifyou feel self conscious about it, you shouldn't.

[iarebaboon]

Awake? Eeeeeewwww no. Why would you even want to? Personally I find the presence of children a bit of a passion killer

[WhoahThereCrazyHorse]

Bugger, general consensus is iabu then. I just sort of went with it, and asked the question because I did feel a bit yuck - now I feel really yuck!

[PrinceRogersNelson]

Not when they are awake no.

[GuillotinedMaryLacey]

I personally couldn't even if my child was asleep but it seems most people (on MN) don't see a problem with that. Definitely not while she's awake though, absolutely not.

[pigletmania]

I agree its a bit yuck tbh. Can't you put her in a playpen or leave her in her cot in her room.

[MissPenteuth]

I don't think I could. Why not wait for her naptime?

[georgie22]

No - I wouldn't be comfortable with it. It's never even crossed my mind as a possibility whilst dd around.

[Georgimama]

Awake no - because it would be icky to me. The baby wouldn't care. Asleep absolutely.

[electra]

But it's only unpleasant if you think it is. She won't have known what you were doing, especiallly if you're far away from her and covered up.

[SolidGoldVampireBat]

Well it won't have done her any harm (at that age whatever grown-ups are doing, if it's not directly involving the baby, it's a bit irrelevant to them and not nearly as interesting as a squeaky toy, on the whole), but it does somehow feel a bit icky.

[GuillotinedMaryLacey]

Definitely not as interesting as a squeaky toy in this house :o

[guanosoup]

Its happened. No point feeling yuck about it, she hasn't the ability to make memories about it, so wont be on a therapists couch in twenty years time wailing sbout the time mummy and daddy boffed in front of her.
Just go out the room, leaving her safe next time passion strkes

[TethHearseEnd]

Right. If SGB finds it icky, that really is pretty conclusive

[MakesCakesWhenStressed]

Oh for god's sake. How do you think primitive cultures managed it? Sex is natural, not dirty, stop being so prudish. I think 9 months is quite young enough to be fairly oblivious. I might be more uncomfortable with one old enough to go telling other people, but I hardly think your dd is going to need therapy.

[pigletmania]

Makecakes they probably had sex when the baby was asleep, we have evolved since then. Its not everybodies cup of tea, I would not be comfortable, and would not enjoy tbh.

[skrumle]

IMO, YANBU. althought not convinced i'd get much out of 5min shag with an awake kid in the room...
