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?

Nope, I think the worst we have ever had was knocks (we teach the kids to knock on closed doors, everyone needs some privacy) and the occasional interruption due to nightmares or one of the kids suddenly needing us.

See, it’s your puritanical perspective that is disturbing. You refer to it as “doing the dirty.”
Grow up……Better yet, get out of the house and in to the real world and away from this hen house you run where you all get worked up when someone says the “pee pee” word.

How about the time when you get interrupted by a knock at the bedroom door, you tell your child you’ll be out in a minute, and he says, “Are you guys having S. E. X.?”
Anybody else get that one?

It happened once our twice when they were much younger and they really didn’t know anything. We covered up very quickly. We have been interrupted by knocks a few times (same response as Theresa: “go away, I’ll be with you later). But not caught recently. We are pretty religious about locking the door and our children know to knock.
One time when my oldest was about 6 or so he asked why he had heard mommy “making funny noises”. Dad told him that sometimes when he kisses mommy she really likes it. I was so embarrassed later when daddy told me about it! LOL

Sex is a natural part of life; While I don’t think it’s right to intentionally do it in front of them if they walk in and see it accidentally you have an opportunity to treat it as a normal healthy part of a loving relationship; teaching them a healthy attitude about sex seems a lot smarter than acting like they’ve just seen something they should be freaked out about.

really just make sure the kids arent traumatized (as in thinking someone is getting hurt) and make sure they know mom and dad were just having married love..or whatever. when my sibs and i were little and mom and dad would go to their room and lock the door we would try to listen through the heating vents in my sisters room (they lead to the ones in moms room lol) …i think kids older than maybe 5ish would be just grossed out…younger may need a little reassurance that no harm was being done. other than that…yeah lock the door and teach the kids to knock. couple have sex. its ok.

We have been busted a few times and it is much harder now that the little one is no longer taking naps. We just let her know that mommy and daddy needed some time together alone to talk about things. Until she is older we don’t feel we should go into it anymore than that.

Amen to Keith and Deidre_NC. Think of how often our kids see suggestive or outright sexual scenes on television by unmarried people in a casual fashion. Somehow, kids walking in on married people doing what married people do in a healthy marriage doesn’t seem so traumatic. It is, indeed, an opportunity to discuss what IS healthy in a marriage in an age-appropriate way.

“while doing the dirty.”
Only a person who is trying to be hip would use those words. You should really quit trying to write/talk like a teenage girl. There is nothing “dirty” about sex when you’re a married couple. Oh, and “Modern Family” is not one of the best shows on television.
“I could get ”
You mean, “couldn’t get?”
“Did you watch this episode of “Modern Family?” What did you think?”
1: You ask waaaaaaaaaaaay too many questions for a blogger.
2: Modern Family is a show for people who think Applebee’s is a hip urban restaurant.
3: If your kids walk in on you get over it. It’s life.

…calling sex “doing the dirty” IS quite contrary to how you want to teach your kids – it also is not “sleeping with” – it is “either having sex” or “making love”, and there IS a difference between the two…

I remember being a young and naive little girl (9/10), and being totally frightened one night by hearing all these weird noises from my parent’s room — from the way my mom sounded, I was afraid I was going to wake up the next morning with police and crime scene tape! Not that my parents were ever violent, abusive, etc — but goodness! Why else would she be moaning like that?!
The next morning: Nothing. Everything was normal, breakfast as usual, kiss from dad as he left for work, etc., etc. It was surreal — I was sure I was going to wake up and find my mother murdered in her bed. (I had an active imagination!) I finally came up with a brilliant explanation and asked my mom if she had been sick last night, because I thought I heard her groaning. She turned bright red and mumbled something about, “Yeah, my stomach was a little upset . . . ” OK, that made sense! I never heard them again after that . . . :-) And when I finally put two and two together, I had to laugh at how embarrassed my mother was.
If our kids have ever walked in on us, they must have backed out pretty quietly, because I never noticed them :-) My daughter asked me once, when she was 6 or 7, and we were talking about where babies come from , if I had actually had sex in “her” house. I said sure, that’s what husbands and wives do, it’s one of the nice things about being married. Her eyes were very round. “So, you and Daddy had sex TWICE?! Once for (brother) and once for me? WOW!” I still laugh over that. I may remind her of it one of these days . . . :-)

LOVE “Modern Family”! Best part was them realizing how loud the lock was at the end ;-) So far we’ve been lucky, but we’re fairly early in the game with a 4 and 2 year old, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed we remain so lucky! We DO use our door lock, but bedrooms aren’t the only places to get busy! Ours are usually down for the entire night, but I did get busted by the 4 year old around 1am one night having a cigarette with some wine on our screened in porch. He didn’t see me with the cigarette, because I whipped it around my back and then almost set a chair on fire because I blindly threw it back behind it! Even though it’s a vice I do enjoy when I’ve had some drinks, I think I had rather be caught having sex at this point ;-)
I never caught my parents, but I do remember (and still get the willies) coming home from work around 11:30 one summer night when I was 16. Cars were in the garage, lights were on, door was unlocked -but they were nowhere to be seen. I walked out onto our back porch and heard, “NO -HEY -don’t come out here!” -They were skinny dipping and doing “it” in our pool! SO embarrassing -we avoided eye contact for a week.

Well since my son still sleeps in a crib we haven’t had to worry and when he was sleeping in our room after he was born we did it occasionally.
I remember when I was young (maybe 5th or 6th grade) my room was right next to my dad and step-moms. Our head boards were against the same wall and I remember one night where I heard thumping and a few noises that were muffled. I also remember being uberly disgusted, not because they were having sex, but because they were FAT people having sex. In my mind I couldn’t fathome overweight people having sex. It just didn’t register.
Thankfully I’ve grown out of that frame of mind. I’m somewhat ashamed of the thoughts that crossed my mind that night, knowing how much my dad and step-mom love each other.

My son was about 2 1/2. My husband and I were just getting started good in the bed on a Sunday Morning. We were still under the covers, about to that point where you kick them off and we heard a giggle. My son is on the bottom of the waterbed, riding the waves, going “Bounce Mommy, Bounce Daddy!”
My husband rolled off of me and we just bounced the waterbed until he couldn’t giggle anymore. He never saw us naked, he thought we were just making the bed go up and down for fun, so there weren’t any awkward questions.
But after that we made sure the door was locked!

My son was only two the only time I know it happened and he doesn’t remember it and wasn’t the least bit tramatized by it at the time. We’ve always given him what we think to be age appropriate answers about where babies come from and how they are made which prompted him a couple of months ago to “suggest” to me that we have sex again because he wants a sibling. Like DB’s daughter, he had figured out how many times we had done it based on the number of kids.

@TinaTeach -HAHA! Don’t feel too bad -a friend of mine in high school mortified all of us on a high school trip by telling us she had walked in on her parents. Her parents were beyond obese -beyond morbidly obese even. To put it into context, her dad fell through the attic and it took both paramedics, and 4 neighborhood guys to get him in the ambulance. Anyway -she said she walked in and they were doing it doggy style. I think she’s still in therapy over it! I saw them all the time, and I never got that image out of my mind!

One of the funniest/most awkward conversations that I can remember with my son was prompted by him being grossed out by a mother orangutan nursing her baby. When my husband told him that’s how I used to feed him, he yelled “Daddy, I know Mommy did not stick THAT in my mouth!” Then he turned to me for reassurance that Daddy was lying on me. That’s definitely a story my husband will tell at my son’s wedding reception.

i was about 8 yrs old living, i decided i was going to snoop in my parents closet, in truth i wanted to look at the pictures of the magazines in the closet (yes those kind) had my fill and went to leave and noticed parents ‘taking a nap’-i didnt hear dad snoring so i thought they were still awake, so i decided to look at the other stack of mags. just my luck the shelf tips over, i hear my father say ‘what was that’ he opens the door, mom screams and covers up, and i am sitting in their closet covered in centerfolds…immediate room time out of course, about an hour later he comes gets me, sits me at the kitchen table with a national geographic to give me the ‘talk’ – i said can we look at the nice pictures instead…that didnt work out well
on monday coming home from school we see smoke coming from the back of the house…. 45 gallon metal trash can with a whole bunch of dads mags, burning away…next day the trash picks it up and of course the truck ignites while going down the road as not all the ashes were out..

Well, an open relationship with children is very desirable. As Freud would say every act has a meaning, so he would say it was no slip up at all for the momma and the poppa being caught, they planned it that way subliminally. Not being a great believer in marriage, in fact, seeing the agreement itself as an attempt to change the normal momma and poppa relationship, adios.

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.

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..

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….

As a life-long Southerner, raised Baptist by a mother and father, meaning a traditional household, I’m actually more bothered by violence than sex. For some reason, we here in America seem to think that sex is something bad that should be hidden, but violence is okay. If you want an example, go and watch a documentary about movies getting a rating from the MPAA. I don’t want to name the movie, because I don’t want anyone thinking I’m trying to peddle the film. But the movie lays out in plain terms that, especially if you show a woman enjoying an erotic moment, the movie will get a terrible rating. Violence is much lower on the list than sex.

I did watch the show and thought it hilarious. Definitely a great acting job by the three kids in the “discussion” scene. But then I’m 70 and don’t have to worry about anyone walking in on my wife and me anymore. And when the topic of sex and off-color stories and jokes come up in casual conversation with my three kids (ages 41, 40, and 38) we can laugh at it now like I certainly wouldn’t have during their formative years. So maybe I “just don’t understand the situation”. One thing is for sure – that program wouldn’t have been able to shown on tv back in “my day.” And most of us at the age of the show’s children wouldn’t have the faintest idea of what it was about anyway. Now with all the filth, sex-related tv programming, and profanity in conversation that has become commonplace, I thought the show was a true comic relief done in great taste.

To Maybe: I don’t disagree, but while I am most certainly talking to my kids in age appropriate ways to sex, I certainly do not want them to hear me, see me, or even think about me having sex with their father. Cuz if an image of my parents having sex comes into my mind, it will reduce my sex drive to SUB-ZERO.

This topic illustrates one of the many reasons I don’t watch the show. I don’t find it entertaining. Yes, I realize I’m in the minority. I’m okay with that too.

Good blog and comments today.
Very funny on all fronts.
Never had it happen thank God cause my six-year-old daughter is smart, inquisitive, and completely lacking of a filter. God only knows what she would ask, and where the story would be told by her.

I don’t watch the show because I don’t find the writing very smart usually. That said, the clips above though were good. I may give it another shot.

Great topic today! Things were getting a little too “ho hum” around here. Just yesterday, I was wondering when Theresa might do a topic on sex or her boobs. We needed something a little light-hearted amongst all of this gloomy winter weather.
Thanks! It brightened my day!

I think every kid has, at one point or another, walked in on his parent. I did in elementary school (I knew they were having sex, but that’s about it) and my wife actually walked in on her parents in high school. Heck, I can remember a playground discussion in 4th or 5th grade about who had walked in on his parents. Normally, however, we knew not to walk into my parents’ room–they were a bit, uh, noisy.
Perhaps the strangest occurrence, for me, was walking in on my younger brother when he was in high school. I had come home from college and was hanging out with friends when we decided to go back to my parents’ place to drink beer/play PS2. Guess who was also using the “romper room?”

Just so you know, Bob Loblaw may have been a character on Arrested Development, but I can personally attest it was a joke name used by Canadian kids at least as far back as the early-’70s based on the huge Loblaws supermarket chain up there.

There are several potential problems in this situation
1) You DON’T want the kids walking in on you during…
2) As a parent, you want to keep the door open, so that you will hear the kids if need be…
3) As soon as it becomes evident that things are moving in that direction, who wants to get up and shut and lock the door?
We solved all three problems by installing what my brother came to refer to as the ‘Lurch Rope’. A rope next to the bed that looked like an old fashioned bell-pull for a butler. It was connected through the attic to the door, which was held open by a magnet, but was spring loaded to shut and lock. When my wife pulled the rope, I knew it was funtime Friday…or Wednesday…or Monday…….

My favorite blog topic since I began reading Momania a year or so ago.
We’ve been caught more than a few times. Most often the door is locked and the youngest wants to know why he can’t get in our bedroom. Even so, the kids know that “mommy-daddy time” is very important to us, and they seem completely grossed out by it.
