AIBU to use the DCs toys for our own (ahem) games?

Name changed for reasons that are about to become obvious.

DH and I like a a bit of dress up but are we BU to use our DCs toys for our own games?

While we're playing checkout-girl and stock boy, its great to have a till as a prop as he calls me over the tannoy to scan his veggies and the stethescope from the doctors kit really sets the scene as he cures me with his magic hands, but still, you have to ask if its unreasonable, really.

I think I might be too fat old for table sex, the creaking would be just too worrying

ThePosieParker · 20/09/2011 21:51

Do you use a Gloworm for romantic lighting OP? And <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=fisher+price+record+player&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1440&bih=779&tbm=isch&tbnid=qxGgy9MloXF4jM:&imgrefurl=think4yourself.tumblr.com/post/118727672/inothernews-bowlingalleylawyer-maybe-the&docid=PbbnMc0gMVkn_M&w=472&h=500&ei=v_x4TomjEYqq0QXflfmnDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=477&vpy=133&dur=202&hovh=231&hovw=218&tx=120&ty=125&page=1&tbnh=139&tbnw=120&start=0&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this for music?

ROFL. Grin

I have had sex all over the house, where toys lurk unexpectedly, so I'm not sure using the toys pre sex would freak me out. 'For' sex might though!

Just be careful on supermarket role play not to call on the tanoy for the stockroom boy to come round the back. Wink

PlayLaughGrow · 20/09/2011 21:52

Have you considered a table cloth AF? Grin

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:52

calling for an 'asda ace' might be fun!

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 21:53

A table cloth slips

DH nearly put his back out tring to reach me Grin

Best to keep some friction between arse and table

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 21:53

trying

AmazingBouncingFerret · 20/09/2011 21:54

Why not try one of those rubber backed anti slip wipe clean tablecloths? Less risk of any injuries.

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:55

or a changing mat?

youarekidding · 20/09/2011 21:55

try these anyfucker

Sorry but this thread has had me weeping with the laughter after what has been, at best, a trying day Grin

Now any ideas what one can do with a wind up Thomas and a toy drill...hmmmm

StuntCubble · 20/09/2011 21:56

Do you not get that skin rubby noise AF?

PlayLaughGrow · 20/09/2011 21:57

Oh tell me about slipping. The polyester overalls we got from the market are not only slippy, but can give a nasty electric shock after a particularly vigourous stock take.

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:58

don't talk about pulling trains in the bedroom restrained, you may not be quite prepared for the consequences Shock

Grin
PlayLaughGrow · 20/09/2011 21:58

Oh we've played Thomas before.

DH is a very, very useful engine.

Harecare · 20/09/2011 21:59

Ha ha!!! Checkout girl and stock boy???? Ha ha ha!!!!!!!!

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 20/09/2011 22:03

I just read that as 'we've PULLED Thomas before' and thought this was another euphemism Grin

MiseryBusiness · 20/09/2011 22:05

Erm, Myself and DH have you know Wink in most rooms in the house (except DC's Bedrooms, of course)
I mean, most people have at least done it on the sofa and I can honestly say when my DC's are sat on it I am definitely not thinking about the sex i've had with DH on it.
I think most adults can cope with not thinking about sex while looking at a till fgs. Checkout girl and Stock boy dont really do it for me but if it did I dont think every time I walked into Tesco I'd come over all unnecessary.
It's fine imho :)

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 22:06

OH, Mumsnet is s useful

All these household tips...brilliant

Might give a changing mat a go...very useful for spillages too

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 22:06

so

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 22:09

YAK...this outdoor non-slip cloth with handy hole looks very promising...

PlayLaughGrow · 20/09/2011 22:10

Its why we refuse to shop on line MiseryBusiness. Spoils the fun Grin

OP posts:
youarekidding · 20/09/2011 22:11

Handy Hole Grin

I thought the non slip grip may might be useful for your DH.

youarekidding · 20/09/2011 22:11

non slip hand grip mat. *

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 22:13

so thoughtful, YAK, you really are an online resource Smile
