Ds (6) caught us having sex this morning. I was flustered and embarrassed at the time. He thought something was wrong and was worried. I just told him we were cuddling and let him watch tv before breakfast as a distraction (usually a nono as it distracts so much I struggle to get him ready for school). He seems to have forgotten all about it and believed the cuddling explanation. However dh can't stop worrying about it. He says he remembers catching his dm and df when he was about that age and his df getting very angry about him walking in. Says its a terrible memory and he doesn't want that for our ds. AIBU to be so blasé? Did i do the right thing with the cuddling lie? Feel he is too young for more in depth explanation and too old to believe that we were playing. Dh starting to annoy me with the way he is making a drama of it all, and he says i am uncaring and burying my head in the sand and that ds will be emotionally scarred
