last night, my husband and I were " you know". And all of a sudden we heard him say "ewwww" and then he walked out of our bedroom into his bedroom and shut the door! I am so embarassed and I did talk to him and made sure he was ok!, i am freaking out, ! have a scarred him!
i'll bet 96% of all children are thus scarred (at least if they have parents with a healthy appetite<G>.)
fortunately my older seems to have forgotten his 'STOP WRESTLING WITH MOMMY!' moment.

It happens to every parent. The best thing to do is to tell them that all is okay and that this happens between mommy and daddy. Don't make it sound like a bad thing but something pleasant.
Do get a lock and put it on the door.
The other S.
Been there done that. He is not scarred for life.
No, he's not permanently damaged but he'll probably always remember to knock on doors now.
You haven't scarred him. You have embarrassed him. I'm sure that you've told him that doors are made solid enough to knock on for a good reason. Now he will practice that.
Nope, but I bet you next time he knocks. :)
Lol! It's not funny, but it does happen to everyone at some point. He's not scarred for life, but will know enough to knock next time.
Just to warn you, there is a good chance (not sure of his age) that he will bring it up at some family gathering and you'll get to relive the entire thing publicly... :-)
I am STILL giggling...it happens to EVERY couple in one way or another eventually....if you are worried, talk to him about it, you didn't say his age, more than likely he will come to YOU for an explanation! Follow your gut on this one, as all families are different as to the outlook on sex. I started talking about sex at about 3 yrs in simplistic terms & good/bad touching, etc.. My personal belief is that...NO...you did NOT scar him for life!!! Keep cool & calm & let it take it's own course...
No he is not scared. If you want to speak with him, you can just say, "I am sorry you seemed upset last night when you came into our room.
This is why we should always knock before we open a door."
My husband said his bedroom was right over his bedroom.. He had to wear head phones to close out the racket. He is not ruined or bothered. He at least knew his parents were attracted to each other.
Get a lock for your door.
DO NOT FREAK OUT!!
You haven't scarred him for life. He will be fine.
You will now know to lock the door. And he will know to KNOCK before he opens a door!
look at it this way, now he has proof that mom and dad love each other. better than walking in on you two fighting.
Relax... it is something natural ! BUT i would discuss whether he heard or saw something and try to explain (in the terms we use for a 5 year old)...
If you start open discussions now, when your child is young, it will be alot easier to discuss all kinds of other 'not easy subjects' later down the road. Good luck !
This made me giggle :)
I think this happens to every child and every parent. I remember catching my parents when I was a teenager. Did I want to pour bleach in my eyes, yes! But I survived!
Luckily my LO is a heavy sleeper, but I know my turn of getting caught is coming eventually!
how did he even know what you were doing at 5? maybe he thought you were J. kissing, or J. saw you both nude? my daughter would have asked a zillion questions. shes 5 too
I can assure you he is fine. The more you make out of it the more he will make out of it. I have no idea how old he is, but I know personally that I walked in on my parents and two of my four walked in on us and we all are fine. = )
Just remember it is a natural and beautiful thing, we need to keep it that way. No scarring, just love.
Only if you were tied up with a ball gag in your mouth. That would scar a child. Or if there was a strap-on involved.
But the fact that you can't even type the word sex tells me you were probably not, and that he just found out his parents have sex. We all found out at some point in our lives that our parents are sexual creatures. As long as your kids still thinks that's "icky" you're doing something right.
Naw, not scarred for life. I can remember hearing my parents go at it. My sister and I laugh about it even today because they were so loud, you know, the bed sqeeking, headboard hitting the wall, the moans! Oh gosh, it truly sounded like a pornographic movie. LOL. Thank God I never saw anything...hearing it was more than enough! Kids know that mommy and daddy have private time. It's normal. Just lock the door next time...and teach your kiddo to knock before entering any room where there is a closed door.
I walked in on my parents and I'm not scarred :)
You want scarred? Try walking in on your GRANDPARENTS!!! Lol.
I was only scarred for about a week... once I got over it I thought it was hilarious. lol.
No, you haven't scarred him. It happens to practically every child ever. I hope you included in the talk you had with him that when the door is closed, he should always knock first and wait to be invited in. ;-) Or maybe you could just lock the door from now on. ;-)
Happens to EVERYONE. He's no more scarred than the rest of us. Hopefully, though, he learned a valuable lesson about entering people's rooms without knocking.
Hasn't that happened to everybody? If he's old enough to recognize what he saw, he's probably old enough to understand the concept of a mommy and daddy making love.
I'm pretty sure this is a rite of passage for most kids. ;)
