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.

And to the poster who mentioned that my dad clearly knows we have sex, there is a huge difference between him knowing and hearing Blush

It's a 3 bed, right? One for your DS, one for your DB, one for you and DH. I don't really understand why you're sharing a room with anyone.

Sorry, just re-read the OP. One for your DF.

Well, that sucks.

BernardBlack that's hilarious –I'm almost sorry I asked! Grin. It's just that I've found (having lived in the US) that people there regard 'toilet' as the actual porcelain thing you sit on only –whereas to me 'the toilet' is the whole room.

I was really embarrassed once when I worked at a youth hostel and had to hand out chores to people each morning (remember that?!). I asked an American woman if she'd mind sweeping out the toilets, ie sweeping all the fluff off the floor with a brush & dustpan. She came back 10 minutes later to say she'd had a good try but she could have done a better job if she'd had rubber gloves and a toilet brush! God knows what she was doing with her hands down there ... Shock

Grin oh my lord, that's so funny! Poor woman. She must have been so, so confused!
