best friend had sex when looking after my dts

I know nothing came of this, but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Whilst my best friend and her husband were looking after my dts last weekend, he spent 3 hours doing the ironing (a novelty for him believe me!!). His 'payment' for this was a 'quick shag'. His excuse - he was feeling horny.

So basically, whilst the dts and their daughter of the same age (5yrs) were outside playing on the trampoline in the garden, they had a quickie. She tells me it lasted a matter of minutes Shock but the principle is the same - surely?

She is still my best friend and I love her to bits but feel slightly weird about this scenario. Should I?

DP and I often sneak in a quickie while our DCs are playing in the garden or downstairs engrossed in TV, he gave me 2 orgasms while I was cooking Xmas dinner last year (makes all the veg prep a bit more bearable!) but even I wouldn't dream of doing it while looking after someone else's DCs. That's out of order.

He ironed for 3 hours? What the actual fuck? Weird.

Beastofburden · 22/11/2013 21:27

Would you mind if they shagged while the Dc were colouring in or watching telly?

Agree on trampolines, I wouldn't have one.

Orgasms while prepping the meat and two veg?

Blimey.

FannyBazaar · 22/11/2013 21:31

Colouring? Do you know how many children have accidentally inserted crayons up their noses while colouring unsupervised?

Pearlsaplenty · 22/11/2013 21:32

As long as it only lasted a couple of minutes I think it is fine. I don't think 5 year olds need to be constantly supervised. Just watched from a window every 2-3 minutes or so is fine.
Also need to be within earshot at all times.

THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

carabos · 22/11/2013 21:34

3 hours of ironing? Have they got the only iron in the village? That's a heck of a lot of ironing. I don't think I've spent three hours ironing in total in my whole life.

This thread is making me laugh.

Sorry Blush

MistAllChuckingFrighty · 22/11/2013 21:35

I wonder if some people on this thread have been drinking.

usualsuspect · 22/11/2013 21:35

Â¥

usualsuspect · 22/11/2013 21:36

What makes you think that,Mist?

TEEARDIS · 22/11/2013 21:36

::raises hand::

I have definitely been drinking.

And my son is upstairs asleep.

WHERE THERE COULD BE A BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

usualsuspect · 22/11/2013 21:36

oooh where did that fancy y come from.

usualsuspect · 22/11/2013 21:37

Buzzzzzz.

MistAllChuckingFrighty · 22/11/2013 21:41

Just a hunch Smile

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 22/11/2013 21:43

I am jealous, I can't leave mine alone for a moment never mind having a quick service.

Laquitar · 22/11/2013 21:44

I would think that one of the children went inside to get something and caught them in action and thats why she told you?

CrockedPot · 22/11/2013 21:45

Don't like garden trampolines. Don't like knowing when my mates have sex. Why did she feel the need to share this with you?

dementedma · 22/11/2013 21:47

Yabu. Kids survived,friend got rocks off, you got free childcare. Everyone's a winner

FannyBazaar · 22/11/2013 21:48

I'm wondering if statistically you are more likely to suffer an injury having sex than jumping on a trampoline...

MistAllChuckingFrighty · 22/11/2013 21:49

Fanny, no

TEEARDIS · 22/11/2013 21:50

Exactly demented.

Mellowandfruitful · 22/11/2013 21:50

Even in a best-friends, tell-each-other everything scenario, I would find it deeply embarrassing to feel the need to tell a friend of mine that I had had to 'pay' my husband with sex in return for him doing the ironing. Seriously? You said she 'often' shares with you when he's being chauvinistic. Does that make it all OK because the two of you can have a laugh about it? Are you feeling like the 'having a laugh' about it has now gone too far? I would in your shoes.

I can't comment on the dangerousness of trampolines, but I can say that I would have been very unhappy at ending up having to explain to my 5yo what Uncle X was doing with Auntie Y in the kitchen if they'd got caught. And surely I can't be the only person whose DC can be guaranteed to come running back in at exactly the moment you don't want them to?

Laquitar · 22/11/2013 21:52

Good job he didnt ask you for a bj as reward for looking after your ds.

Or perhaps they both want a reward for the childcare. Hmm i think they after a threesome.
