I think doing it whilest a small baby is in a cot is very diffrent to doing it while child of any age is in the bed next to you, also i just dont under stand how any one could get aroused when you basically eye ball to eye ball with your child

I sure in cultures were people live in one room or huts this happens but not in the wester world were we dont have 6 family memebers to a room not when you have the CHOICE TO NOT HAVE SEX WITH A CHILD SLEEPING IN YOUR BED NEXT TO YOU WHY WOULD YOU DO IT.

I tend to agree with you OP, but be warned: this is going to end badly

KittyFane1 · 25/06/2012 19:54

Having sex with your partner/spouse whilst the DC are in the same room let alone bed is wring IMHO.

KittyFane1 · 25/06/2012 19:54

Wrong not wring!

DinahMoHum · 25/06/2012 19:55

clutches pearls

what about all the people across the world that share a room to many people.

first world problem

picnicbasketcase · 25/06/2012 19:55

Think there's already a couple of threads going about this, but I agree with you.

monkeymoma · 25/06/2012 19:56

this thread has been done already

general opinion seemed to be YABU unless the sex happens whilst breast feeding (or was that just MY opinion? Grin)

its not wrong it normal for humans to do this, I wouldn't though I'ld pop out to another room

KittyFane1 · 25/06/2012 19:57

A colleague at work told us that he and his wife were struggling to keep it quiet as their 7 year old daughter was sharing their room whilst work was taking place in the house. Wrong, just wrong :(

mumofjust1 · 25/06/2012 19:57

I wouldn't have done it, not in a million years!

But

That's my choice - I wouldn't judge anyone who did/does.

EclecticShock · 25/06/2012 19:58

If they are asleep and you are not likely to wake them, probe lag best in a cot next to you... And they are under 3, I don't see the issue.

Snusmumriken · 25/06/2012 19:59

YABU- but I am a morally corrupt swede!

MeMyselfIrene · 25/06/2012 19:59

Ive had it with DC in bed. DC was under one. We had no option, child had to sleep on bed.

In other countries like developing countries there is lack of space. They cant afford 7 children to each have a bed, more likely that they sleep in one room. They have no option, probably just do it missionary quitely. I dont see those children coming out all crazy and asking questions about sex.

Thankgodforcaffeine · 25/06/2012 20:00

monkeymoma I hope you know how to put these worms back in the can :o

KellyElly · 25/06/2012 20:02

I don't know about in the same bed they're sleeping. In the same room while they're asleep in a seperate bed is ok. I'm sure loads of parents have done that while on holiday at least.

Mrbojangles1 · 25/06/2012 20:02

Can some one direct me to the other thread on this please

I just cant belive any one is the western world who dose not have to chooses to Confused

It won't actually hurt them (unless you thrash about and roll on top of them). It won't scar them mentally if they are asleep/ very young. So I don't thinl it's that big a deal if someone wants to do it.

Mrbojangles1 · 25/06/2012 20:04

KellyElly sorry my child is 13 so no way i would i am not that over sex were we cant wait a week or just nip back in when their at the hoilday club

MikeLitoris · 25/06/2012 20:04

This will not end well.

Fwiw I agree with you op. Lots wont.

Tambasher · 25/06/2012 20:05

I will try find the other thread but it is something to do with ITV+ in the title! From this morning....still going stong I believe and no I don't agree with it, maybe when very tiny babies but then no no no no no!

I still have images of walking in on my friends mum and her boyfriend, scared for life me. WTF were they doing out of school hours?? Like 4pm... Grin Oh actually just remembered something but it involved a bathroom and locked door!

Mrbojangles1 · 25/06/2012 20:06

solidgoldbrass so were is the line one, two, three i just dont understand how yu can get aroused when your child is their snoring away i can think of no bigger turn off frankley

AThingInYourLife · 25/06/2012 20:06

I don't really see the issue if it's a baby.

RagamuffinAndFidget · 25/06/2012 20:07

If the child is young enough to not have the faintest idea what is being done, and is ASLEEP, then what's the issue? It is possible to have gentle, quiet sex you know. Some people choose to co-sleep for the benefit of their children, why should this also be at the detriment of their sex life/relationship?

ZZZenAgain · 25/06/2012 20:07

never felt the least inclined to do that. I suppose if you have no choice, it is something else but if I had another option, I couldn't see myself doing it.

nemno · 25/06/2012 20:08

I just can't see the big deal if a baby is asleep in the same room. It would be easy to have sex discretely, you wouldn't want to be noisy and risk the baby waking anyway. In family rooms on holiday surely this is normal. I am so surprised by this thread. If the baby is actually on the same mattress then I doubt I could relax enough worrying about squashing, suffocating or waking them. But in the same room, no problem.

KellyElly · 25/06/2012 20:09

I'm thinking of a young child like the one in the post not a 13 year old. Clearly that would be very wrong!

I think I'm with ragamuffin
