To you moms with kids....you know when your child(ren) asked about the birds and the bees? Well let me tell you, those kind of questions are not long gone when your little ones become teenagers. My son just asked me recently if DH and I still "embrace"? LOL! My response...... laughing hysterically for about 10 mins straight at the thought of my son thinking we are so elderly and malfunctioned. OMG! I could not speak afterwards. Just shaking my head from side to side as I walked away. LOL

Our kids know that when the hat is on the door knob, they DO NOT DISTURB. I am sure that mt DD knows what is going on, and when the time comes when they are older and they do ask, I will smile and say "ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY!!! Old people can still get it on, my sweet.":eek:

Ok, I don't think that I'm ready for those kinds of questions. My son is 5 1/2 and I think that in the next few years here they will start. I'm scared! LOL!
Isn't it funny though as we grow older what age seems to be so old? Like 40 to me used to seem SO old. Now, not so much. I bet we do look like old farts to our kids. I know my parents did when I was younger too.

When DH and I got together, his parents were about the age we are now, maybe a few years older. I remember being grossed out because DH said he still heard them having sex. Now we are as old as they were then. Perspective is very interesting.
 
I think it's coming soon at my house...Though my DD gets "grossed out" if we kiss in front of her, she has a friend that's a boy (she's pointed out nemerous times he's not a "boyfriend!!") at school...She's 9...He carries her books, dumps her lunch trash for her, and has even come over to play...All of this is fine, unless they want to play in her room, then I put my foot down!!

It's amazing how early kids are going through the boy/girl stuff these days!! UGH!!! Thank goodness, she's got 2 dad's that have already said they'll be "cleaning their rifles" when she gets picked up for her first date! I think in 6 years, it's the ONLY thing they can stand to be in the same room for!!

Marcia,

We just tell them that when they hat is on the knob don't disturb us because we want to spend time together by ourselves, we do not lie and say we are sleeping in or whatever else. They know it's important to us to be able to have alone time.

Our door doesn't have a lock on it, so the hat is the best we have. Even if we had the lock, I am sure they would beat and yell through the door trying to get our attention (talk about a mood-kill!) and they know that we are serious about that hat. ;)

Well on my end it was kind of backwards! My daughter started her period early, two months after her 10th birthday and i was in shock!! I was not ready she is so inmature that I thought it would just happen later on. I bought a book to try to explain the birds and the bees to her! She could care less about the book!!!! She really is not ready.

ROTFL at at the "embrace" remark Charlotte! That is too funny! When my husband wants some "extra curricular" I just tell the kids that we are talking and not to disturb us. I think my daughter is just starting to catch on.
 
One day I called over to my neighbors house in the morning, but it was about 10am at least. Anyhow, their daughter there that is around 9 at the time said that mom and dad were still sleeping. I was like, "yeah, sure" (to myself) LOL!

BTW, DH has "a talk" with every boy that my DD goes out with. He basically tells them right off the bat that if they think of having sex with her that he will mess them up. Doesn't care how big their daddy is, their brother or whatever. And jail time is not a problem.

I actually babysat for a couple that had bells stitched to the edge of their bed -all the way around- on the bottom. One day the little girl was jumping on the bed and I heard them. I didn't ask her why they were there, I just started laughing.:)
