No, but our kids caught us. When the girls were 7 & 8 we decided to build our house so it would have the layout we wanted, and my husband likes to cook, so he could have his kitchen and gym. I wanted my art studio.
Girls are sneaky! They are nosy! We knew we wanted to do something to somewhat sound proof the bedroom. So we did. It is my husband who is the loud one.
Fast forward; the girls are now 12 & 13 and one night I see a face over my husbands shoulder. I'm grabbing the sheets and trying to pull them up over my husbands buns and I said 'Lauren!' My husband says "Lauren what"? My daughter ran. I said " Lauren was just standing behind you". He was calm, I was not.
I can't see the bedroom door because my bathroom is on that side of the room and there is a hallway. From our bed you just can't see the end of the hall. We just forgot to shut (and lock ) the door.
This whole incident took maybe 10 seconds but to me it felt like 10 minutes.
We talked to her (both of them) the next day and my husband was just very honest. We had already talked to them about sex, about love and I'm glad we didn't wait.
Fast forward once again to the late teen years and I don't think any harm was done! lol
We have even gotten a few laughs about it.
You would be amazed at the things kids confess when they do grow up.
We used to hear them giggle, and we didn't put 2 & 2 together. They knew when we locked the door that we were "gonna do it"
You really think you're smarter than your kids, and you think you know things that later you find....you didn't have a clue!
That includes the kitten that someone left at the door when the girls were 13 & 14. They found it and had a friend put it on the door step. I never knew that.
Or the time that my oldest let her sister drive in a parking lot before she got her permit. Or the broken windows that they knew nothing about..... (softball anyone?)
I don't know, you do think the statute of limitations has run out, or can I still punish them!
