vacation with kids = no sex?

We are going on vacation next week with our kids.  We are staying in a big beach house with my mom's side of the family.  We are sharing a room w/ our kids.  The room has 2 bunk beds in it.  The bottom bunks are full sized beds.  DS1 will sleep on one bunk bed, DS2 will be in his PnP and DH and I will be on the other bunk bed. I'm not really into doing it with my kids in the room.  It seems to me like there is going to be little to no time for sex.  Are we screwed? (no pun intended).

Re: vacation with kids = no sex?

  • I couldn't imagine having sex with my whole family present, let alone while sharing a room with the kids, so I would assume that vacation would be sex free.

  • People have gone way longer than a week without sex.  You'll be ok.

    I know it's only a week, that's not the problem. Going a whole week doesn't bother me.  Vacation just usually = sex,  in my mind.  Then again, we've never gone on vacation with the kids before.  It doesn't seem possible to me either.  I can't imagine what we would do.  Ask my mom to watch them while we get it on?  Yeah...not happening.  I would feel weird too.

    Maybe you can find a time when someone can take care of the kids while you guys run back to the house to "change clothes" or something. But yeah, I wouldn't plan on it, and definitely not with kids in the room!
    This.  We went on vacation a bit ago with pipes dreams of sex after baby fell asleep.  LAWL.  Nothing like the sound of a baby sleeping on the other side of the room to ruin the mood.  It's a week.  Get some humping in before you go & pretend you are camels. 
  • We're going away next month and I won't even call it vacation because I know I'll be more tired by the time we get home than before we leave. Sex wouldn't even cross my mind.

    This, plus it's a bunk bed.  Please don't rock your kid to sleep that way.

  • This is why we never sleep in the same room with the children on vacation.

    Oh, because that's always a possibility.  Bahahahahahahahaha!
  • No sex. It's a family trip, NOT a vacation. At least that's the way I looked at it. We took a very similar trip with my parents and aunt to Florida last month and we also shared a room with DS in his peapod. There was no sex.

  • We've had chance meetings in the shower when we've been on trips like that.  Very quietly and quickly.  Almost not even worth it.

    i'd think of it as a break. amen.
  • Am I missing something? It sounds like there will be other adults, and possibly kids there. Is your family not the type to take turns watching the kids in order to give adults breaks?

    You're staying at a beach house. I imagine the kids will be spending a lot of time on the beach during the day. Is it that hard to ask grandma to watch the kids for an hour and sneak back into the house?

    There are 2 sets of bunk beds in the room.  DS1 will be on one set, DH and I will be on the other.  Not that it matters, b/c I woudn't do it with him in the room period.  I certainly wouldn't be doing it with him in the same bed!

  • Shower sex, but that could still go wrong.
    How big is the back seat in your car? How big is everybody else's back seat?
    Garage? Does the door lock?

    How big is the neighbor's back seat?

    Ever had sex in the ocean?

    I wouldn't have sex while sharing a vacation home with my parents even if my kids were in a different room.

    Yeah vacations take on a whole a new meaning with kids. It's basically doing the same sh*t you do at home at another place, without the convenience of home and the added exhaustion of day long activities. Even if DH and I have our own room we are too exhausted to engage in any sexual activities. The days of vacations lounging on the beach and sex every night are sadly long gone.....

  • I say enjoy some time in the hot tub with DH.
