Being intimate while kids are downstairs

Hi everyone!

DH came upstairs today while I was getting dressed and tried to initiate sex while our two boys were downstairs. Both are kids are neurodiverse, our 8yo has complex needs (attends a specialist school etc) and our 4yo
is on the pathway for autism/adhd/hyperactivity.

DH said they were happy and settled on their tablets and that we had some time. And that it was exciting with the threat of being caught. I felt uncomfortable with this, and told him I couldn’t relax and enjoy it so I declined. DH has been off with me all day since and is sulking and grunting when I talk to him.

AIBU? Or prudish? It just doesn’t feel right to me. If they were in bed asleep then great! But they could have hurt themselves? Or escaped out the front door?
