Busted by your kids while having sex?
This week “Modern Family,” one of the BEST shows on TV, hysterically addressed parents getting busted by their kids while doing the dirty.
Their three kids were planning to surprise their parents (Phil and Claire) with breakfast in bed for their anniversary. Instead the kids’ retinas were scorched off by the site of their parents’ amorous (and what appeared to be standing up) love making.
The kids freak. Claire and Phil freak (although Phil stops to eat the dumped breakfast off the floor). Claire and Phil lock themselves in their bedroom to decide what to do now: Do they discuss it with the kids? Do they joke about it to lighten the mood? Do they ignore that it happen? (Claire is extra sensitive to the issue because she witnessed her own parents having sex when she was a child and they never even addressed it.)
Meanwhile the kids are downstairs discussing how they DON’T want to discuss it!! The final scene is just perfect. You have to watch it. It is the second link I have. (They didn’t have the actual busted scene or I would have posted it too! I do have a link below where you can watch the entire show. )
There is another screwball comedy issue going on in the show: Claire’s stepmother (the super hot Gloria) accidentally sent Claire a rude email about how she doesn’t want to help with the school bake sale because Claire is such a control freak. She comes to the house to apologize not realizing Claire is upset about the interrupted sex not the bake sale. You need to know this so the first scene makes sense.)
(I couldn’t get the stupid Fancast player to load so you have to click on the links to watch. Bummer I know. But tried for 30 minutes to make it load right, and it wouldn’t. Sorry.)
Caught in the Act – the full episode – If you are truly blowing off work or if the baby is napping!
For some of the best lines in the show – including clueless son’s Luke’s explanation of what sex is.
I think this is a pretty common occurrence. You don’t always lock the door. Sometimes it just happens. You can also be walked in on other places. My girlfriend told me the other day her little guy found them in the shower together. (Think nothing of it. Daddy’s just washing mommy’s hair.) Michael and I were interrupted a couple of times by knocks on the door. (Go away. Come back later.) I think we were only walked in on once by Walsh as I remember, but the kids were very little and wouldn’t have figured it out. Now we definitely have to be more cautious.
Have you ever been walked in on? What are your precautions? Does a “loud” lock (ie the show) just traumatize the kids because then they totally know! (This could apply to radios, TVs, sound machines or any other masking item that actually just may tip them off.) I remember somebody told us on the blog they had a door sign that said “Marriage in progress.” Gross! (Sorry whoever it was!)
Did you watch this episode of “Modern Family?” What did you think?

Busted by my 4 year old at 6 am once (she might have been 3 at the time) but fortunately we were under the covers and she had no clue, she was so focused on the fact that her Leapster batteries were dead. I replaced the batteries, got her settled in her room in about 2 minutes then we finished, lol!

Bob, Goldfinger and whoever else you want to me be — stay on topic or you’ll be booted. My boss has noticed and he has no tolerance for that kind of stuff on the blog. I am unapproving comments and my next step is to ban you. Consider yourself warned.

We encounted this situation two times:
Once, when our son was a toddler and we were going full throttle, same way as in Modern Family…
The second time was our complete stupidity: He was 12 and away at an after school band function. We elected to have some fun on the living room floor when he comes walking on in… Surprise! Evidently the band instructor had an emergency so our boy came home. Very, very embarassing to us. We didn’t speak to him because he knew what we were doing, why torment the kid with a talk about what he saw… We have never made that mistake again.
Today is we want 100% total get-your-freak-on night, we send him over to spend the night and reserve a nice, upscale room in one of Atlanta’s elegant hotels. Peace of mind is worth it to go all out.
Oh how I yearn to hear from Mother Jane Goose on this one…. Come out, come out wherever you are Mother Jane Goose… Talk to me… Talk to me Goose…

Let’s see, some troll comes up in here, and starts insulting our posts and saying crap about our posts. Then he uses fake names to post crap we all know is not true. Then he gets nasty and starts calling us names.
He gets called out for it, and now he is crying “they called me names” WAAAAAAAAAAAA……….
Yup, momma’s boy…….

As much as I hate to admit this…the dude pretty much accomplished exactly what he seemingly set out to do…hijack a blog and make it utterly dysfunctional, not worth investing any time into it, and infect the rest of us with his vitriol.
Bummer too….this is usually a good Friday respite from the grind.

We do have a few friends who have come home early after work only to find their teenager going at it…. I don’t know how I would react to that, especially if I had a daughter.

My mom and stepdad both worked nights at Delta when I was in high school and I guess the mood hit them to have sex on the sofa between 2:45 pm and my school bus dropping me off at 3:30…a couple of times, I guess they should have looked at a clock.
I have not been walked in on as I don’t have children yet, but one day last month I stopped by my boyfriends Condo to take a shower after work because It was closer to my evening meeting than my apartment. I come out of the shower naked thinking nobodys home, I walk to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, and I come face to face with my boyfriends 12 year old son..his mom had just dropped him off outside ..a few OMG and and a quick dash to the bedroom, no harm no foul..but he has a funny grin everytime I see him now..

Got busted bad one time. I don’t know how long she was standing there watching, but she suddenly sait “What are you two doing?” She was stabout 5 years old. I was on top going at it. So, the best excuse I could come up with on the spot was “We’re bear wrestling.” So, she jumped on top and started wrestling like a bear too–pelvic thrusts and all. The image will never go away.

Yes, I walked in on my parents once – small kid, 5/6 or so I guess. Don’t really remember it, other than opening the door, seeing them, then blank.
Another situation I’ve had: I was walking through a neighborhood doing visitation for our church bus route. I encounter a girl standing outside her door on her porch, trying everything she can to get in the house. I talk to her for a few minutes to see if there’s anything wrong or if I can somehow help her, and the entire time I’m hearing what sounds like a hammer knocking away. I finally realize what it is (I’m a teen at the time, MAYBE 14/15), and I try to distract the girl for a while (5/6 or so, basically told her to try to go hang out with her friends). Fortunately neither of us actually saw the parent(s), and I’m pretty sure the girl never realized what was happening.
And as far as the kids “realizing” how many times it has happened… if only it worked like that. STILL nada. (had a close call a few months ago though).

Also, just gotta say these stories are HILARIOUS. (Obviously, for those of us who DIDN’T experience them :D), especially LydiasDad. Wow!
Oh, and as far as being caught by parents… never with anyone else. Mom walked in a time or two when I forgot to lock a door as a teen though. Yeah, that was bad enough.

Top Gun, great movie! About the only movie that I liked Tom Cruise in…
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
We’ve had the ‘walkins’ too, when we thought the kid was sleeping. Thankfully, we had the covers over us and he was more interested in something else. Now, it’s late at night, AFTER we check to see if they are sleeping.

3 yo walked in one time…to sleepy to notice anything. Just walked her back to bed.
Modern Family was hilarious….but what I feel is more worthy of discussion is Mitchell and Cam blaming Jackson for the juice stain!!!

Never have had a walk-in…we’ve only got the one kid though and he sleeps like a rock and we close and lock our doors, so I think we’ve covered our bases. We sometimes have a “session” before work and close the doors upstairs….I’m just waiting for the day that he starts to question that!

“Let’s see, some troll comes up in here, and starts insulting our posts and saying crap about our posts. Then he uses fake names to post crap we all know is not true. Then he gets nasty and starts calling us names. ”
Nope, wrong answer numb nuts. I didn’t call anyone anything until I was first called a name by shaggy. You should really look at taking remedial English at UGA.

Hey Libs, earlier today….when you were told as Bob Boblaw you were a liar about changing names from Libs are idiots, you said, “where’s the proof?”
You just provided it.
At least I know what we’re dealing with now, because if you’ll lie about something that little, you’ll lie about everything else.

I never walked in on my parents….which around age 10/11, began to seem strange because so many of my friends were coming to school with “walk-in” horror stories. Then one day I walked in on Daddy with another man, and it all seemed to make more sense….
