To ask when we can have sex?!

Myself, DH and DS (2.5) have all moved into my DF's house while waiting to complete on a house purchase. My DB stays here half the time too and the other half at our DM's (he's in his 20's, has Aspergers and is still in his routine from when our parents split 17 years ago).

It's only a 3 bed so me, DH and DS are in one room together. We've been here for 4 weeks and haven't had sex. We've had a cuddle etc but I am really aware of our son in the room with us and my dad next door and just can't get my head into it. I am pretty sure it would be terrible to do it with DS in the room anyway, not that I want to!

Help! When can we do it?! Dad takes my DB to mums some evenings but if DS isn't in bed then we can't do it then. Was gonna pounce on DH tonight but he had a belly ache and disappeared for a shower.

Argh! I feel like a bloody teenager.

To paraphrase Frasier Crane ...

"There is an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. If I were using that microscope right now... I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem"

Can your son sleep in your brother's room when he's not staying there? Could you ask your brother if he'd mind?

BertieBotts · 29/10/2017 22:14

It would not be terrible to do it in the room with DS asleep but I can understand if it puts you off.

bingbongnoise · 29/10/2017 22:17

What are you, ANIMALS? Can't you go a month without shagging.

Fucking filth that's what it is!!!!!! Angry

(Kidding.) Smile

BernardBlacksHangover · 29/10/2017 22:22

When we are in a hotel with our son we do it in the toilet after he is asleep. Not the most romantic thing but hey ho

This made me laugh^^! Do you mean you do it in the bathroom? Why say "in the toilet"?! Sounds a bit niche Grin

Justaboy · 29/10/2017 22:28

Bin there solved this usually in the same room as the nipper its possible to have a bit without "that" much noise.

Ceto · 29/10/2017 22:29

Pidgeon, you're clearly interested enough to go to some trouble to post on the thread.

ahatlikeprincessmarina · 29/10/2017 22:29

BernardBlack are you N American by any chance ...?

RapunzelsRealMom · 29/10/2017 22:34

Does it have to be PIV sex? Maybe a bit of mutual masturbation would do? It’s not always entirely satisfying when all you want is PIV but it ain’t half bad(and quiet re the bedsprings etc)

SpearmintTea · 29/10/2017 22:47

Why is it relevant that your dad is a light sleeper? If you're married with a small child then your dad already knows you have sex. Get your dad to babysit whilst you have a siesta/early night/go back to bed for an extra hour sleep.

viques · 29/10/2017 22:48

Can you sneak the (sleeping) baby into your brothers room while he is at your mums?

BlackPeppercorn · 29/10/2017 22:50

You need a premier inn with a beefeater restaurant attached, that kind of set up.
Ask dad to babysit while you go for a meal at the beefeater. Then nip along to your pre booked premier inn room with the M & S picnic you put in the car earlier on. Return home, heartily recommending the meatballs to your father.

DH and I used to do this often when we had non-sleeping little ones and could con anyone into babysitting.
Actually, now we have a house full of teens who never seem to actually sleep, we need to start doing it again!

TashaRomanoff · 29/10/2017 23:00

The amount of people willing to shag while their DC are in the room shocks me.

Gileswithachainsaw · 29/10/2017 23:00

I got it.duvet on the floor.

BertieBotts · 29/10/2017 23:04

Hmm Tasha - considering some large percentage of the world live in a single room I think objecting to this is the very definition of a first world problem.

Applesandpears23 · 29/10/2017 23:06

Weekend mornings, wait until your Dad is up and then ask if he can keep an eye on your son whilst you go back to bed and DH is in the shower then DTD whilst DH is getting dressed.

HeyNickiHeyNicki · 29/10/2017 23:47

I was going to say duvet on the floor too? If there is room? Grin

gluteustothemaximus · 29/10/2017 23:54

We have a teenager, a 7 year old and a toddler.

We have practiced the art of extremely quiet sex.

unlike our neighbours who really do need to get some wd40

wobblywonderwoman · 30/10/2017 00:05

I can't understand why you wouldnt DTD if baby is in the room? OK he us 2.5 but soundly asleep .

SleepOhHowIMissYou · 30/10/2017 00:05

Have sex in your brother's room when he's at your Mum's.

I find the idea of shagging in the same room as children totally gross too. Yuk! Fundamentally wrong.

Shower together? Bathe together? Book a cheap travel lodge room and say you're going to cinema, out for meal, get a sitter etc.

I don't think there's anything weird about having sex in a room with a sleeping child but I personally wouldn't be able to get turned on in that situation!

ZZZZ1111 · 30/10/2017 06:01

Having sex with a sleeping toddler in the room is far from ideal but some of us don’t have much alternative!

@princessmarina

That's extremely complicated! I a man American born to British parents and grew up in Ireland. Now live near London. My accent is Irish though, so I suppose culturally I'm Irish..? Passport I see British. I also have a (long expired) US one.
