My 12 year old came in to the bedroom just now...
DS: "Mum this is kind of a weird question and I don't know about asking it."
Me: What is it?
DS: How often do you and Dad have sex?
Me: Oh. Are you sure you want to know?
DS: Yeah
Me: Once or twice a week I guess
DS: Oh. Now NEVER say that again.
Me: You asked! And I double checked! You can always ask me any questions you know.
Even though I tried to seem calm and cool, it felt just really odd. Maybe because I was taken by surprise.
I am a very modest person and never talk about sex with friends at all, but DS has far fewer inhibitions and often mentions things I find embarrassing. I would never in a million years have asked that question of my mother!
Has anyone had discussions like that with their DC? I expect normal 'what is sex' conversations but didn't expect personal questions like that.
