Just popped into the kitchen to put cooled dinner in the fridge. Look out the back window to see neighbors over the back doing it against their back fence, in the alley, for anyone looking out to see. They're clothed but it's completely obvious what they're doing.

I don't have kids. They have at least 4. Is it really that difficult to use the bedroom? I can also see their kids watching telly through their window.

I've not long moved in here and curtains for the kitchen didn't seem so urgent until now.
Wasn't trying to peep. Totally unavoidable in close together terraces. Just shocked and shook.

YABU - you do it where you can as a parent
YANBU - throw a blanket over them so you don't have to see.

"Shocked and shook." Lol.

Signoramarella · 25/12/2021 19:47

OMG. They must had a few sherrys and unable to keep their hands off each other. I'd laugh it off!

TiddlesTheTiger · 25/12/2021 19:49

Bucket of water?

Mrstamborineman · 25/12/2021 19:50

Don’t look!

Sparklingbrook · 25/12/2021 19:50

It's peeing it down here and about 5 degrees, good for them I say! Shocked and shook? It's Christmas Day get the Wine out.

grapewine · 25/12/2021 19:51

Just don't look.

LadyCampanulaTottington · 25/12/2021 19:51

Fire extinguisher?

grapewine · 25/12/2021 19:52

YABU for "shocked and shook" even you're trying to be funny.

HoseMeDownWithHollyWater · 25/12/2021 19:52

Right...

bunnyboilerx · 25/12/2021 19:52

Just open your back door and shut it again. They'll stop. Grin

Iamkmackered1979 · 25/12/2021 19:53

It’s absolutely 🥶 brrrr here they sound like nutters I’m on couch in my pjs nice and warm too full to even consider getting up let alone anything else.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 25/12/2021 19:54

Meh, it’s the season of goodwill.

Let them shag. Raise a glass to them once they’re done.

BlueRoseInBloom · 25/12/2021 19:55

Open the door and shout, "lick it, Darren".

If she turns round, she's a Mumnetter.

Tal45 · 25/12/2021 19:55

Shocked and shook? I bet then you snapped and farted.

WrigglyDonCat · 25/12/2021 19:55

Open back door, cheer and give a round of applause. Or possibly shout out marks out of 10.

DiamondBright · 25/12/2021 19:56

Four kids and they have the motivation and energy to shag outside in December.

Good for them.

RB68 · 25/12/2021 19:57

ahhh they could be arguing and shouting at the kids ... there will be 5 next year ;-)

LuckyAmy1986 · 25/12/2021 19:57

I don't think anyone should have sex where anyone else can see, you are basically forcing them to see something they don't want to (especially kids)

MrSnowmansCarrotStickNose · 25/12/2021 19:58

Is they have 4 kids they probably get more peace in the alley than in their bedroom to be fair.

YouCantTourniquetTheTaint · 25/12/2021 19:58

Just shout faster, faster. Xmas Grin

DolphinFC · 25/12/2021 19:59

It's freezing!

Makes you proud to be British.

Longingforatikihut · 25/12/2021 19:59

I know it reads like I'm a prude, I'm genuinely not. It's just having had a few neighbourly natters with them since I moved in I just really didn't expect it.

I've not stayed for the full show of course. As soon as I realised what I was looking at I retreated the the living room at the front. Loading the dishwasher can wait.
