How do you cope with adult DC nocturnal activities

[Crowdblundering]

WAA!

DS1 (19) has started having his GF to stay as they have been together a while now.

She is lovely etc.

He has the room directly above mine and all so have been able to hear for the last hour is the bed banging WAAA!

Argh this is worse than walking in on my parents which was pretty bad - who do people cope?! 🙈😱

Have they stopped now op - or still going?

I'm recalling the vitality and endurance of youth....

OP you would have been mortified if he replied back with the position.

I'll have to look at this karma sutra I got and see what it advises for parents of amorous teens. At least OH isn't shouting 'Go on son!'

Breakfast is going to be amazing. 'Have a good night?' Yes Mrs OP, 'Do you need anymore of these (flashes a roll of condoms) before I go to work?' Son screeches mortified. Don't you have a plastic model you carry around? I remember having to demonstrate my aptitude on something weird.

My DS is 3 years off being legal, DH refuses to believe he's ever going to engage in such a pursuit, ever. Which leaves me as cool Mum you can talk to about anything to.

Although got it hit back at me when I asked him if he had a GF or anyone he liked, he said you answer first, so I said Dad obviously. He said who do you think Dad fancies, so I said me, he replied no, some girl from TV, that weathergirl? No, wrong again. So wanting to find out his inner secrets GF wise I play along and ask who, he tells me his best mates Mum, they're always hugging and kiss when Dads round. That shut me up asking again.

I bought him a book on puberty how it affected you in everyway including moods. He professed proudly that he'd read it in a night and now knows how to do that sex thing. I told him not till he's married Cheeky bugger replied no I only have to be 16 actually. DH got rid of the condoms I bought back from the contraceptive clinic as a joke. I'd never actually seen a female version before.

Fairy did I understand that right. You DH is hugging and kissing you sons bf mother?

Wow fairy, did you follow the hugging and kissing thing up with DH?

I've queried it and apparently only in a hello and goodbye sense apparently. I didn't know he'd gone all continental. Before that was said I assumed something interesting is happening with him, seeing as he looks at his phone like a child waiting for Santa.

Both days this w/e we DTD, literally as soon as he's done, for all the pestering, he's back to his old vitriolic self. I can't recall when but something happened where when texting I asked for a hug one day as I was feeling battered, I got told to f. off. He's so loving. (Sarcasm)

The neighbours must have some sort of a heart as a few weeks back I had like a welfare check on me. I don't know who they were but they came in and spoke about allsorts. They knew DH was doing this plan to be single again, now I'm getting help with allsorts as apparently my welfare matters. I just don't have the energy to go through the mountain of forms they kindly sent. But was promised all sorts, housing fully adapted so I could sleep in a bed not the sofa. So really quite exciting, plus mindful of keeping the DC's close to where ever home might be.

Sorry apparently the phone thing is just good craic. I did definitely see a message, which apparently I hallucinated, that was about meeting up.

When we met, DP still lived at home (we both did) and I used to stay over at his a lot.

His bedroom was above his parents and on a few occasions he got the dreaded text about keeping the noise down

10 years andn 2 kids later, I don't let myself think about this too often as I have to look MIL in the face most days (she looks after our kids!!)

Sing hymns!

Oh fairy

My MIL caught me in a pair of thongs bum up one Sunday morning at his, I was only 16

You clearly need a Barry White compilation that you can play at full blast in case of future, erm, incursions

I think your txt was perfect and hopefully he will do it on the floor next time ;)

I remember being younger and being at my BF house, his Dad always gave this knowing smile with a glint in his eye as I went to say goodbye.

The worst I remember was my periods were sporadic, so never knew when they would arrive. Finished DTD and my BF asked if I was ok. I'll spare you the details, but was so so mortified he had to strip his bed and explain that I didn't know it was happening. This was after not really knowing them all that long.

But BF Mum was a gem, I wanted to buy flowers and chocolates, I was told I was over reacting accidents happen.

Always remember the look and smile his Dad would have on his face. My BF had been pretty depressed and didn't really go out, but he was apparently a different person after we met. His whole family was lovely, apart from a SIL who assumed the position of matriarch.

He made a hasty exit this morning to walk her to the bus stop

My DD boyfriend did stay when she had one, she now has a girlfriend but it's a pretty new relationship and we haven't met her yet.

An ex boyfriend's mum knocked on the door and entered the room shortly afterwards when we were mid session once. Mortified doesn't begin to describe it, although we'd at least managed to pull the covers over ourselves

My mother actually walked in on my sisters boyfriend going down on her!!!!...if that happened to me, I don't think I'd see her EVER again

BIL walked in on DH and I once when we were first going out. He stayed and had a conversation with DH.

So, so awkward.

I think I might do what my first boyfriend's parents did to avoid the problem entirely, that is to go out to lots of dinner parties till late. We used to go over to his house, which was lovely, have a sauna and shag, followed by a swim in the moonlight, light a fire in the drawing room, take all the cushions off the sofas and drink tea and shag again. Then we'd shower and he'd drop me off at home. Seriously it was amazing and also quite romantic. Avoided all the can/they can't they hear us.

Send him a SnapChat of a pack of condoms

What I don't get though is how they cannot realise that others can hear.
When I was first with my now ex, we would stay at his parents place (he still lived at home) and while they were obviously aware and fine with us sleeping together we would have been mortified for them to have heard.

Aren't people just naturally more quiet when there are others who could hear? Or have I just forgotten the wild abandonment of youth?!

Sat in the living room at my DPs house (relatively early in the relationship, he still lived with his mum and sister at the time). His sister had brought her boyfriend back from the pub. She had a daybed with a metal frame. I thought my DP was going to be sick listening to that rattle for half an hour

I worry about staying at my parents place and being heard now!

Clap to the rhythm! Slower get faster, like the Greek dance.

Is offering him marks out of ten a step too far from mother to son.... yes yes it is

Dds bedroom is next to mine. We took the headboard down! Loud music is put on when they enter the room, too.
