DD (9) walked in on us engaged in noisy enthusiastic duvet-free sex last night

[OrmIrian]

Walked in, turned on her heel and walked out. We lay like statues, totally mortified. DH said I should go and speak to her. I did, cringing like mad. DD was clearly embarrassed but OK. DH went downstairs to make some tea. DD called out to me that she felt ill - I went to see her, tucked her in, stroked her forehead, said goodnight, went back to bed.

She seemed find next day but studiously avoided the subject - she even explained why she got up (to find the kitten apparently) and talked about when she felt ill. But not the 'elephant in the room' so to speak.

Either she is remarkably cool (I'd have died at her age!) or she's pretending. How can I tell is she's OK?

It was bloosy 11.30 at night. We should have been safe surely.

Am actually lol'ing at all these, especially pumping up the tyres Also reassured to know I'm not the only one who's mistaken sex noises for pain noises - I still cringe at the memory of 7 year old me trying to gain entry to mum's bedroom because I was convinced someone was hurting her and wondering why she sounded so breathless and annoyed as she shouted back that she was fine

When I was about 9 I walked straight in on my parents. My mum said, get out!! Its rude to just barge in. I left very quickly and ALWAYS knocked after that. it was never mentioned and I was fine.

a towel behind the door is better than pillows. The door gets trapped on the towel and they can't get in

Or so i am told

bramblebooks - your elder son is such a gentleman! how lovely!

Or a large folder rammed narrow end under the door - my DP's accounting folders now have 2 official uses!

Though whenever the door is jammed on afternoon there are 3 little voices outside in a whispered debate as to whether "they must have taken their clothes off again"

And once DP's DD - 5 came in and his legs were sticking out of the end of the duvet she didnt notice and asked for a biscuit! DP in a very muffled voice said "yes darling in a little while now go downstairs please"
Then she promptly went down and said to the other two - "I dont know what they are doing but Daddy is hiding" !!!
Fingers crossed she hasn't brought it up in front of DP's parents yet...

From this thread, it appears to be an essential part of growing up!

Last year, DD1 (now eight)walked in on us (discreetly positioned, under duvet, thank God)at around midnight, shortly after things had gotten very, erm, interesting for me - I opened my clenched-shut-in-the-throes eyes to DD stroking my forehead and saying "Mummy wake up, it's just a nightmare"

Managed to bite back the response "Yes, it is, isn't it..."

OMD Snigger - I've been there too. My LO walked in mid throes and it put me off for ages!

I can remember walking in on my parents too, although thinking about it they were only about 23 or 24! No wonder really My Dad got really cross though and shouted at me - cue floods of tears from me and Mum and Dad ending up having a huge row! Oops!

Incidentally my dad was always totally obsessive about nudity. I honestly have never ever seen my father anything other than 100% fully dressed (apart from the walking in on them moment) THEN about 5 years ago - he does one of those naked calendars for charity! God I was dreading October! Go figure _ I will never understand men!

This has to be the funniest thread EVER!
BoffinMum made BoffinDad put a hotel-style door closer on our bedroom door as well as install a proper lock that needs a key. Absolute best thing we ever did. We've used the towel-in-front-of-the-door trick in hotels as well.

When I was a kid, my parents always walked around the house naked and - get this - so did my (northern European) grandparents as well.

EUGH!

How many of you have actually seen your grandparents naked?????

I amazed I actually have a sex life at all after that.

One of my friend (now 47) walked in on her parents when she was 12. I wouldn't say she was scarred but she still refers to it occasionally in horrified tones!

this thread is great can´t ever remember having walked in on my parents. They often recall my older sister walking in on them when she was very small and asking "are you tickling mummy, daddy?"

I think they learnt their lesson. For YEARS they would disappear off to have a ´nap´ and when we went looking for them we would find their bedroom door locked. Never questioned it oh the innocence...

I remember asking my mum and dad why the cow in the field was trying to balance on top of the other cow. Cringe.

We were in bed a few months ago doing the spoons on our side facing away from the door (covered by the duvet). We didn't notice the door open and DS1 (5) comes in and gets in behind his dad, wrapping his arms round him and joining in my saying "I love you Daddy". . I felt my husband shrinking too!

I caught my parents at it when I was 14 and I still get embarrassed if they are not in the kitchen when I call in case they are at it - they are 66 and 72 now.

When my sister used to go out clubbing and got back late, she used to hear mum & dad knocking on the bedroom wall. She thought they were knocking to let her know they knew she had got home safely. So she used to knock back. It was years later that she realised that it was the headboard banging on the wall, and not some sort of morse code.

Oh poor you! Or do I mean lucky you?

We have a lock on the bedroom door. It is in fact the only bedroom with a lock on the door. Twas installed by the previous owners. Very very handy.

I was watching Gervase Phinn on Alan Titchmarsh(sp?) show the other day he was saying about his son asking where did he come from....... apparently he said hed get the lads mother to explain... they sat him down and explained about mens seeds and ladies eggs etc etc then said does that explain everything? The lad said not really dad my mate comes from Halifax and i was just wondering where i came from? LOL.........

ROFL at "Is someone pumping the tyres up?" and Girlandboy's morse code! Funniest thread I've read in aaaages!

On a slightly different note, my auntie walked in on her teenaged DS1 having a very noisy and athletic wank on his top bunk one night (that's his bed I'm referring to - it's not a euphemism for a dirty sex deed )

She'd actually opened the door to the bedroom very slowly and quietly to check on DS2 who was a lot younger and fast asleep on the bottom bunk. Upon realising what her DS1 was doing, she actually dropped down on all fours to avoid DS1 seeing her. He was oblivious and carried on huffing and puffing, and she shuffled very slowly BACKWARDS out of the bedroom still on all fours!

Still makes me laugh when I think about it! He's a grown man now and is none the wiser. It kind of begs the question, is it morally right to tell others in your family the embarrassing things that your children do, purely to raise a laugh?

Hell, yeah!

This is hilarious!

I don't remember walking in on my parents, but my MIL has walked in on us.

I think I was about 21 and DH about 24, we'd been together three years. I was on top and the duvet was up to about waist height. Turned round and she was stood at the door horrified, I threw myself down flat on top of him whilst simultaneously pulling the duvet right over my head, rofl.

BUT she went away crying, muttering something about that is her wee boy ffs! She was a bit of a psycho back then! (and very drunk).

Not quite the same but on our honeymoon we sailed to France on overnight ferryy and booked a 1st class cabin. In the morning DH adn I were having a marital shag as we were no legal etc. Steward walked in a chivalrous husband pushed me off so I staggered in front of the steward in the nack! All DH could say was don't worry all ships stewards are gay!!

I never saw anyone doing anything when I was younger. When I was in my late teens Mum asked me to take some things up to my brothers room. His door was open so I knocked and gently pushed it. It was quite clear what was happening so I dropped his things on the blanket box and went downstairs. His GF followed shortly after, storming out the house and he looked rather peed off! Took me a long time to admit to Mum what had happened (she asked him and got a sharp "nothing" back).

Apparently when my OH was younger his brother evacuated the house in the middle of the night because they had "burglars"! It became a euphemism between their parents when they have anything planned "we're having burglars tonight".

Never walked in on my parents but my mum has walked in on me and exp... I was on top.... there was no duvet. She looked totally shocked and just said "oh... I'll come back later" and closed the door behind her. We were giggling hystericly but hey we carried on and finished the deed!

Also once at a friends house I was sent to get a spare blanket from the parents room and opened the wrong drawer which contained a dildo and loads of porn! I couldnt stop giggling and I did admit it to my friend a few months later, she had also stumbled across it. He dad works abroad and she has also stumbled by accident across her parents dirty convos on skype!!!

I have all this to come. When Im 34 ds will be 15..... I think im gonna need a very big house with sound proofing!!!

I cought my parents once. I was sent out to play but when no one was playing I tried to come home. All door bell ringing was ignored. I climbed over the garden fence and peered through the patio doors to see my parents on the sofa - dad on top with mum hitting his arse.

I banged on the door and demanded to know what was going on. 'They were having a play fight'. Believed this for years and when I finally twigged I teased them without mercy. Still do as I now realise why I was always sent out to play on sunday afternonns.

Mind you we are a very open family about sex and stuff!! My advice is to make a joke of it when she is a bit older!!

OP am sure she will get over it.

i walked in on my parents when i was 18. had gone out but had got a headache so came home early. saw TV on in lounge so went in to find porn film on and parents at it on sofa - worst bit was mum still had her trainers on . have made mental note to myself to remove all footwear in future as that has scarred me more than the actual deed

I am enjoying these

Bolt being fitted at the weekend. Just a little one right at the top of the door.
