To think it's inappropriate for parents to use sexualised humour around their 18+ children?

Not strange at all. I’ve two sons and from around 17/18 they were always playing a game of how many innuendos they could get away with and husband would join in. Harmless fun and quite funny.

Yeah I agree with you OP.

I love a good bit of banter with our late-teens DS, and in most ways our shared sense of humour is now fully adult (and very sweary). But I instinctively avoid sexual humour, although to be fair I'm not hugely into innuendo anyway.

I don't think it's a huge issue if other families are comfortable with it, but to me it just seems a bit inappropriate and odd.

Omg total pearl clutching. If they are OK with it, why should it bother anyone else. A general, crap humour kind of comment too. It's not like they were going indepth about their sex life to him.

At 19 I would be talking the exact same way to my child as I would with my friends

very weird to have two codes of conversation one with friends and one with adult children ??

Ha. I play Cards Against Humanity with mine...

No. It’s not strange.

some families do and some don’t but enough do that it’s not strange.

Every family has their own comfort levels. I've been able to joke like that with my parents from being about 14, my late OH could never joke about it with his own parents though - but would happily join in with me with mine.

As long as everyone involved feels comfortable I don't see any issue. If it's being forced on someone who doesn't like it then thats wrong but it sounds like it was a two way thing.

I have adult sons and they would cringe if we spoke like that in front of them 🤢

Honestly, loosen your pearls a little! I bought my 16 year old a t-shirt he wanted . It said “M.I.L.F” on it, then in small writing underneath it said “man I love frogs”. There was a picture of a frog on it.

He and I have the same sense of humour, so I don’t see the issue with it at all. My parents have always used that kind of language/jokes around me too.

Different if the child doesn’t like it.

I don't like it and it's not something we do.

I don't like it and my DC certainly would hate it but some families are like this. Some get drunk together, do drugs together and worse. Not everyone lives by the same values, surprise surprise!

It sounds like they are trying to be 'cool' parents. It's a bit gross.

I wouldn’t do it around my son (he’s 22) but that’s just me and my personal choice. If others want to do it then that’s up to them, doesn’t bother me 🤷‍♀️

It wouldn’t be to my taste, but ‘inappropriate’? Assuming the nineteen year old in question isn’t being made miserable by it, no…

No, they are adults.

I can understand you might not be comfortable with it but it’s like nudity or whatever, families are different

Eugh I agree, it shouldn't be done.
