Would it bother you if adult children were buying sex toys and getting them delivered to your house?

Sounds rather strange I know but I am just asking how other parents of adults would feel about this.

No that would not bother me.

TulipsInbloom1 · 19/01/2019 16:01

Why would you even know what they are buying?

SneakyGremlins · 19/01/2019 16:02

Whenever I've bought a sex toy it's arrived in plain cardboard packaging. Nobody knows what's inside Confused

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 19/01/2019 16:02

Yes how do you know?

JennyOnAPlate · 19/01/2019 16:02

Are you opening your adult child's post?

Justmuddlingalong · 19/01/2019 16:03

How would the parent know what was in the parcel?

IndigoSpritz · 19/01/2019 16:03

Plain brown wrapper. Plain cardboard packaging. Something of a giveaway, perhaps ?!

FissionChips · 19/01/2019 16:05

Like others said, how would you know?

PavlovianLunge · 19/01/2019 16:06

I don’t think I’d want a hoist cluttering my hallway, but I could cope with a dildo in the vestibule.

Ragwort · 19/01/2019 16:07

I wouldn’t like it, but I am a real prude and don’t really know what a sex toy is (apart from what I read on Mumsnet). Is this for an adult child living at home or using your address for the ‘deliveries’?

Wouldn’t bother me, but I wouldn’t imagine they’d tell me.

bengalcat · 19/01/2019 16:09

No .

ToastyFingers · 19/01/2019 16:10

It wouldn't bother me at all. Sex toys a VERY commonplace and if your adult child lives with you, you should be showing each other adult levels of respect, which means myob about what they receive in the post.

PotteringAlong · 19/01/2019 16:13

How do you know?!

Oblomov19 · 19/01/2019 16:15

No. Why would it? Ridiculous.

Oddsocksandmeatballs · 19/01/2019 16:16

No but how would I know?

Isadora2007 · 19/01/2019 16:17

No it wouldn’t bother me.

Kittykat93 · 19/01/2019 16:18

Wouldn't like to be told about it or shown Grin but as long as it was discreet it wouldn't bother me.

teenagetantrums · 19/01/2019 16:18

No not at all. As long as l didn't gave to gear them using themSmile

teenagetantrums · 19/01/2019 16:19

Hear not gear

SleepingStandingUp · 19/01/2019 16:22

As in they still live at home or they're getting them delivered to you instead? Are they complaining that you aren't always in to receive them?
If thry dibnt live there I'd expect them to ask if I'm OK to revive a parcel for them. So long as its legal I wouldn't care what's in it

GertrudeWilloughby · 19/01/2019 16:23

@PavlovianLunge Wink Grin

BarryTheKestrel · 19/01/2019 16:25

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest as long as they were leaving it lying around on the dining room table or something.

How would you even know ? They all come in plain packaging.

amusedbush · 19/01/2019 16:25

I am a real prude and don’t really know what a sex toy is

Do you live under a rock? Confused
