Those with older children ? H E L P !
I posted an earlier version of this on the ?Parenting Board? now here being revised to get rid of TMI ? I?ve re-worded it too tone it down somewhat! Hope this one meets with your approval.
I?m so 
about all this! Just not sure how to handle this one yet! So I?ll try getting some input from my sister, as well as my SIL?s as to how they addressed this problem since I know it?s happened and going to happen to any parent with children at some point.
I was also wondering if any of you with older children have any suggestions about what to do, say, or how I (we) should address, handle this situation which happened to us this morning ?
Now here?s my (our) dilemma - DH and I woke up around 6 AM and were feeling somewhat frisky; so we started fooling around. Well one thing lead to another so we got a little too involved - we ended up in one of those love making episode! Well we didn?t have our bedroom door closed or locked so our middle two sons came in!
So now I was wondering - what to say to my 5-1/2 and 4 year old that walked in while DH and I were fooling around.
ETA: to remove some explicit details ?

Re: Those with older children ? H E L P !
For real?
Not that the scenario is unbelievable, but there's something about the amount of detail you've provided and the way you've phrased everything that makes this post seem fishy to me.
Why not just say, "What should I say to my 7yo and 5yo sons who walked in on me and DH fooling around."
Get a lock for your door and always make sure to use it.
I'm not sure how to do damage control, but there are ways to prevent this from happening again.
it reads like fanfic.
It was our second (5-1/2) and third (4) sons not my oldest. Sorry if it sounded fishy! I didn't mean TMI but that's been done now - sorry ...
We just didn't think about the boys getting up that early for one thing. We do have a lock on our door so that's my fault for not getting up to close and lock it. That I (we) will do from now on - I'm looking for how to do damage control now. Thanks so much for the advice.
I think that's the most suspicious sounding statement of them all. With a bunch of kids that young, how do you not have at least one awake at any given moment? Early morning bathroom trips are pretty commonplace for young kids, imo.
Actually, her post doesn't sound that strange. It was a lot of detail, but to be honest, I wouldn't think to immediately jump out of the bed to lock the door if DH and I were fooling around either (We have an 8yo and a 4 yo and a newborn). My 8 and 4 yo usually don't come into our room in first thing in the morning. THye get up, fix a microwavable breakfast (oatmeal, milk, microwave 1 minute) then play until we come out. I wouldn't expect them to come running in my room although once every blue moon they will.
PP, if they haven't mentioned it, they probably weren't too tramatized. They are 4 and 6, they probably just assumed you guys were "playing". They don't really know what sex looks like at that age.
(Now, this discussion may come back up when they become teenagers and remember what they saw that day)

I'm curious as to why you think this sounds suspicious - my two middle boys sleep in the same room with a bathroom between their room and their older brother?s room and can go to the bathroom any time they need to without my or DH?s help. On Saturday?s they usually sleep-in till 8:30-9; hardly ever getting up before 8:30 or even later unless - sick.
No one else seems to have mentioned that it seems odd you would be having wild crazy sex at 7 weeks pp.
Either way, your kids will be fine. They will just assume you were wrestling/playing around. I agree with previous poster that they might put two and two together once they have some more knowledge of what sex is. If you feel the need sit them down and ask them if they have any questions about this morning and keep it very basic.
Thank you! I will agree I did give TMI which I?ll tone down a bit next time. I was just up-set with myself for not closing the door at which point all three boys understand they do not enter our bedroom without knocking on the door and being invited in - first. This was mine (our) fault for at least not closing the door before our romp in the hay!
HAHA. Fo sho! And calling it a "love making episode" - are you taping yourself? Sounds so Harlequin romance book.

I agree! But sometimes the moment just seem right!
Since the boys have not said anything to either of us about what they saw or didn't see both DH and I will just say NOTHING at the present!
Let me also add all of you have been a GOD send in helping me overcome this set-back Thank you one and all.
Gah, you guys...she probably just doesn't know terminology here. It's not TMI, she probably just didn't want to tell us they were fvckin' like rabbits ; )
And how is this so unbelievable? LD found herself in this position also. You might ask her how it went over. Her kids about the same age.
Lesson learned: ALWAYS make sure the door is locked. How you got this far without knowing that is beyond me (or is that the unbelievable part?)
My LO happens to have been born 8 weeks - 2 days ago. I was cleared by my doctor on Wednesday - December 28th, 2011. We did not however; start having sex again until New Year?s Eve which was for me very enjoyable, pleasurable once again. I don?t know how others feel about this - all I can say here is - to each, his own ? I for one really enjoy having sex with my DH!
What exactly is meant by this?
Yes I am also thinking english is not your first language.
Or female is not your first gender.
