Name change didn't work last time, testing

I remember vividly walking in on my parents having sex. I recall a vague sense of "what are they doing? Ooooooh". I said what I had gone to tell them a wandered off.

I also teach sex ed to secondary age children. Lots and lots of the lesson is spent talking about having the right to express and acknowledge sexuality but also to respect others who don't express it in the same way.

I would probably be inclined to have a word with dd and just suggest that she keeps the sex chat to a minimum or not at all around this girl as not everyone is comfortable with it. Being able to control the urge to talk about it all the time is part of the learning process.

Do all MNers have locks on their bedroom doors then?

Thanks all. In the morning I'll remember to tell dd that its not very respectful to discuss friends parents sex lives... Not something I ever thought I'd have to do! I've already told her that friends mum is not happy, her response was that friends mum must have had sex to have friend, so why is she cross?

Well I don't.

I inadvertently walked in on my parents, many years ago when I was about 10/11.

DS inadvertently walked in on DP and I when he was about 6 (although we think he was actually sleepwalking, that look in his eye is a giveaway).

With the best will in the world, slip ups can and do happen, and I can't see it being a child protection issue.

her response was that friends mum must have had sex to have friend, so why is she cross?

You may want to point out to the mum that this is the point when the penny drops and all the children realise that their parents must have had sex or they wouldn't be here.

I do remember the rather disgusted comments from DD when she and her friends realised, although at 14 she's over it now.

And the rule is that it is fine as long as you are a) under 30 and b) trying for a baby.

Fry, dd has had the horrible realisation that one of her granny's has had sex once, and the other has done it 3 times!!!!!

So this woman is living in a vacuum if she thinks that stopping your DD discussing sex is going to stop her DD thinking about it.

Apparently she's fine with teachers and professionals talking about it to the girls, they're just not allowed to talk about 'real' sex amongst themselves. "Being exposed to the real thing is different".

A friend of mine once found a negative of a photograph her parents had taken of them dtd, she brought it to school to show us for a laugh. Still friends with her 20+ years later and still see her dad quite often and the overwhelming memory of the negative was his pants around his ankles . Still giggle when I see him in the co op Sorry, slightly off topic
