Impish Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Sooooo... When I woke up this am, the kids were all still asleep. Wolf and I ended up...errr...messing around in the kitchen. Nothing horrid or anything, everyone was fully dressed...but kissing and he had his hands all over my butt. Suddenly, from behind us, a young voice pipes up, "YUCK!" And there stood Tazzie. Whoops. Busted. :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2_girls_mommy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 LOL I am suddenly feeling mighty lonely as I sit here drinking my coffee all alone in the kitchen this morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Too cute. :001_smile: I encourage my dh to be, uh, discreet about affection in front of the kids. You know; no 'wandering hands' and what not. :tongue_smilie: But when they're all four here, sometimes someone sneaks up on us. Dh thinks it's hilarious. I, on the other hand, can't help but imagine having to see *my* parents make out. {shudder} I like to spare the kids from that, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 We're generally affectionate w/one another around the kids. Hugging, brief kiss here and there...but not Daddy grabbing Mommy's butt in the kitchen while kissing her neck kinda affectionate :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelbe5 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) :lol: Our kids are older now, so when dh and I get the "yuck" for getting caught being affectionate I now say "How do you think you got here?" :lol: Edited June 22, 2012 by jelbe5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdalley Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 We get caught on occasion too because we like to sneak kisses and uh gropings when we get a chance. In a small house with three active boys and a codependent dog around it isn't easy. As much as they yell out yuck I think it must be reassuring to kids to know their parents love each other. I don't know that based on my parents so it may be wistful thinking on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I agree w/you. I think it is healthy for kids to see their parents being affectionate. I just don't want to cross the line into 'now needs therapy' territory :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniper Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 We don't really hide that stuff. In fact we often make it a game where they try to get in between and pry us apart. They say, "yuck," but there is always a glint in their eye. I think they like knowing mommy and daddy enjoy being together. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 One day at church the pastor was talking about how important it is for kids to see affection between their parents. Our eldest said, "I think we have the opposite problem!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyable Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It is too hot for all that just now. I think I'd say yuck too. :lol: :lol: I almost *never* saw my parents being affectionate and I used to wonder if they even loved each other...so I definitely think a little affection (and the occasional grope or two ;) ) is a good thing.

BakersDozen Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I almost *never* saw my parents being affectionate and I used to wonder if they even loved each other Sigh...as a totally nonphysical person now I'm going to wonder what my dc think as they never, never see my dh and I hug or anything. Guess I could fake it for their sake and tolerate a 1.5 second hug every once in a while? Could we just shake hands instead? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralloyd Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) We don't hide that stuff at all. My kids are so used to it that they have no reaction at all. Just this morning, we were sitting on the couch and dh was kissing my neck and grabbed my bottom. Dd10 stood there talking to us about her VBS project and didn't bat an eye, just kept talking lol!

The Girls' Mom Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Our kids are all 12 and up now, so we like to torture them a bit. They walk in on a kiss and say yuck...we are liable to start making noises like "nom nom" or fake slurping..lol. They always get a giggle out of that. (while screaming GROSS!!! of course).

joannqn Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I know that I've read somewhere that kids are more secure when they know their parents are affectionate so seeing something occasionally is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We torment Diva that way pretty frequently. Seems that the Littles are usually in bed at that point though.

MomtoCandJ Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm so afraid one of these dd will walk in during "mommy daddy time".

Unicorn. Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Ha! My dc used to ask for a younger brother all the time. Recently my 13 yo told me she didn't want one unless we adopted one, because she knows how they are made, and that's just gross! (keep thinking that sweetheart, keep thinking that!)

LoriK Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The neighbor girl recently told my seven year old, "You know your parents walk around naked and kiss, don't you?" My daughter got very mad at her. She told her, "Your parents might do something like THAT, but mine never would." When she told me about it later, she added, "You and Daddy kiss a lot, but I know you wouldn't take your clothes off and kiss. You have class." Um...ok.
