To have sex with my 9mo dd in the room?

[WhoahThereCrazyHorse]

So. Large, child-safe room, DD playing happily on the floor, 5 min shag.

Oh and it's my birthday.

AIBU?

I wouldn't.

If she was asleep I would say yes but awake then no.

Yuk.

yabu.

i couldn't have sex when DC where in the room, didn't feel right

While she's awake? No I wouldn't agree its,a bit yuk

Not while your child is awake. I agree: Yuck.

YANBU - fine imo.

No, not whilst your DD is awake.

Whether it's 'yuck' is subjective surely. It won't do any damage to the baby.

Ifyou feel self conscious about it, you shouldn't.

Awake? Eeeeeewwww no. Why would you even want to? Personally I find the presence of children a bit of a passion killer

Bugger, general consensus is iabu then. I just sort of went with it, and asked the question because I did feel a bit yuck - now I feel really yuck!

Not when they are awake no.

I personally couldn't even if my child was asleep but it seems most people (on MN) don't see a problem with that. Definitely not while she's awake though, absolutely not.

I agree its a bit yuck tbh. Can't you put her in a playpen or leave her in her cot in her room.

I don't think I could. Why not wait for her naptime?

No - I wouldn't be comfortable with it. It's never even crossed my mind as a possibility whilst dd around.

Awake no - because it would be icky to me. The baby wouldn't care. Asleep absolutely.

But it's only unpleasant if you think it is. She won't have known what you were doing, especiallly if you're far away from her and covered up.

Well it won't have done her any harm (at that age whatever grown-ups are doing, if it's not directly involving the baby, it's a bit irrelevant to them and not nearly as interesting as a squeaky toy, on the whole), but it does somehow feel a bit icky.

Definitely not as interesting as a squeaky toy in this house :o

Its happened. No point feeling yuck about it, she hasn't the ability to make memories about it, so wont be on a therapists couch in twenty years time wailing sbout the time mummy and daddy boffed in front of her.
Just go out the room, leaving her safe next time passion strkes

Right. If SGB finds it icky, that really is pretty conclusive

Oh for god's sake. How do you think primitive cultures managed it? Sex is natural, not dirty, stop being so prudish. I think 9 months is quite young enough to be fairly oblivious. I might be more uncomfortable with one old enough to go telling other people, but I hardly think your dd is going to need therapy.

Makecakes they probably had sex when the baby was asleep, we have evolved since then. Its not everybodies cup of tea, I would not be comfortable, and would not enjoy tbh.

IMO, YANBU. althought not convinced i'd get much out of 5min shag with an awake kid in the room...
