Right. NC as my mum is on here and just no.
CONTEXT: Been married to DH for over a decade. Have 1 DC who is under 5. Sex life was adequate up to TTC DC who took donkeys' years. Ever since neither of us were particularly keeping an eye on things until we realised we hadn't DTD for over 6 months.
Now making a concerted (and so far successful) effort to improve things in this arena and as such are actually having to work out how to keep DC out of our room at crucial times. DC is a good sleeper (Praise be to the deity for that) but very occasionally wakes in the night and potters through to us. No gate on DC's room as no longer needs it. Feel very wrong locking the door.
We are very 'sex-positive' to borrow a buzz-phrase, and DC is aware in an age-appropriate way about how babies are made, but this becomes a completely different prospect when it's midnight and you're caught in the act by a curious small person. What do other people do? What do/did you say to your small people to either a) explain away when caught or preferably b) keep them out of a closed door in the first place?
Thanks all!
