Is it too much to ask you do it inside?

[Longingforatikihut]

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.

Eh, a bit grim for you but they're tipsy and happy so I can't help but also think good on them!

Actually, people who have sex where their children can see/hear them (let alone all the neighbours) without caring are a massive red flag and no way would I be cheering them on for this. It’s gross. I’m also guessing that most of you would be livid if your own DC looked out of the window and saw your neighbours shagging in the alleyway. They clearly don’t give a shit who sees them which is worrying.

They have kids..KIDS PLURAL ?? and they still have sex?

Good for them!
Often when kids come along, the sex goes out the window.

I'd not like to see it, though. I'm with you on that, @Longingforatikihut

And that's why they have 4 kids

Often when kids come along, the sex goes out the window..,. And down the walk way 🤪

bluebells 🤣

Or blueballs 🥶

Mumsnet goes absolutely fucking nuts at Christmas. It’s as though every angry, aggrieved, passive-aggresive, disappointed woman in the world decides to post a thread losing their shit.

Has anyone suggested red flags and social services yet.

Well there obviously isn't a pig in a blanket shortage in their house this Christmas.

101 now. Or is it 111? Either way, report it to someone. Or maybe just mind your own business. It's Christmas Day ffs. I bet in the summer they'll be at it in the hot tub, so may as well get used to it now.

Btw, no matter how good their outside lighting, I still find it hard to believe you can actually see them shagging. Are you a bit bored? Attenborough's Global Adventure is on telly.

I’d have yelled out the window ‘oi wrong hole!’ Or something to that effect.

Thankfully they were gone before call the midwife.

As for those who suggested it's my fault for not having kitchen curtains yet. Surely you don't all live with the curtains permanently closed for fear of boots knocking in the street?

Bang on the window and duck!
tell us what happens !!

If it was our street one of the neighbours would change their wifi name to “wecanseeyoushaggininginthealley” or similar. 😂

Omg. I love this. And as quite close together terraces they'll totally see it. 😂

This is another method.

Baby no5 on the way 😂😂😂

I would have to go out in the garden and call my “non-existant” cat repeatedly in for his tea.

Far, far more 'fucking nuts' to suggest that not much wanting to see people fucking in the alley outside one's home is an example of an 'angry, aggrieved, passive-aggressive, disappointed woman . . . losing their shit.' 'Passive-aggressive' how? 'Disappointed' how? It's a Public Order offence, and it's fucking gross.

With 4 kids on Christmas, yes.

“Here pussy, pussy, pussy….”

I’m not surprised they have 4 kids. They’re probably making number 5.

Every fiber of my being knows it's wrong and I'd be appalled if I saw the neighbours at it in the alley.
But I can't help but be in awe of a couple who have survived 4 children excited on Christmas day and still find time and energy to shag! And I can imagine that doing it in the bedroom is useless as "mom Charlotte took the switch!" is inevitable.

Probably pissed up.Revolting,I actually would throw water over them,not in a jovial Christmas mood today.

That's hilarious. Nothing as exciting as that happens round here.
