His and Her Health

i just want to see if there are any other parents out there that feel as i do - and some tips.

I have three kids - 1 is at uni, just starting his 3rd year, 1 is at college with no intentions of going to uni but is hoping to get a good job with the courses she is doing, and 1 is 16 and still at school.

My kids are wonderful, they're all happy people and a true credit to my husband and myself, they are genuine and caring people. In fact they are so happy THEY NEVER GO OUT !!! This has concerned us in the past, they all have friends but say they are much happier staying in, doing what they want to do - my daughter has a boyfriend and he spends all his time here - STAYING IN.

Me and my husband have a great sex life, but it's always quiet (the kids don't go to bed before 2am) our bed squeaks and he has to remind me to ssshhhhh when i'm having an orgasm lol.

For the first time since forever, last week me and my husband were left entirely on our own - OH MY LIFE, IT WAS FANTASTIC !!!! sex was spontaneous, unhibited, wild and loud, i loved it - and to my shame i didn't want my kids to come home, i really didn't. I keep thinking about my eldest in his last year at uni, with the current jobs situation even when he graduates the chances are he will have to come home ..... the thought of all of them having to come back fills me with dread (and yes, i do realise if they had an option they would not want to come back)

How do other parents of teenage or fully grown children cope ???? please if you have any tips on successfully arranging some alone time with your husbands then please share .... our financial situation dictates that we can't afford to go away for the odd weekend - i've spoken to my kids and told them that they should make more of an effort to go out in the evening, but they just laugh cos they know what i'm trying to get at.

thanks

Don't let them laugh and ignore you. So what if they know what you're getting at. They're adults now and they can deal with it.

I've had the same situation and when my boys come home we just tell them flat out. Tomorrow night, you go out and don't come back for at least three hours. They get the idea.
