To not want sex when DC is in the room?

That’s fucked up - isn’t it? I feel like it is at least.

we are on holiday all sharing a room and our 9 yo DC is sleeping in the bed next to ours. Sorry to be crude but my DH started fingering me last night, which presumably he wanted to lead to sex. But our DC was lying asleep like 2 metres away. AIBU to have insisted he stop?

YABU - I see no issue with it and would have let DH carry on

YANBU - No, to carry on would have been all kids of weird

best way to do it is when the 9 year old
is away at the kids club! (voice of experience)

I would be so grossed out if my husband couldn’t go for a week without getting off. Disgusting.

Yeah I'd find that very offputting. What if they woke up?!!

However historically families did all sleep in one room/space, for millennia, and heard and saw all sorts, so I'm not sure it constitutes child abuse for a DC to accidentally witness something happening discretely under the duvet.

Ooft, yuck. No way is that fine.

To carry on would be child abuse.
