I've eaten an entire loaf of Cinnamon Swirl bread this week...by myself.
Eating it all in one or two days would be more of a confession, I think. Can you tell I binge on things when I like them? Lol Or maybe eating a whole loaf of that in one week is not a normal thing... Oh well. No shame in my game, no shame in your game!
Yes. But without having a kid I can't say what I would do or how I would feel about it.
I think even without having a kid, I'd have a pretty firm stance on sex with children in the room. But that's me.
I'd have a firm stance after certain developmental milestones (no idea what age it would be because I don't know anything about kids) but there's definitely grey area before that for me.

acorn99, I'm getting ads for Snickers in the sidebar now. I want one pretty bad.
One of my CWs yesterday bought me a salted caramel square from Starbucks. It was incredibly good. I suspect it had at least 600 calories. FFFC, I am not going to confirm that on their website, because then I would feel too guilty to buy it again. Ignorance is bliss.
H told me he gets 6 weeks paid paternity leave and is hoping to save up more time off so he can be home for 8-10 weeks when/if IVF works. I don't want to take away from him spending time at home with the baby but part of me hopes he'll just take the 6 weeks and go back. I know him too well and know it will turn into a mini vacation with more video games and couch than helping me with the baby or the house.
My BIL got 4 weeks paternity leave and as much I dislike him, he was great when my niece and nephew were born! He has a weird sleep pattern due to his job that he would take the 2am feeding and let my sister nap in the early afternoon as well. I've never seen him like that before (or since). Maybe you'll be surprised.
I'm jealous! H only had 10 days of paternity leave while in the Army. We got lucky with DS because he was born at the start of H's month of leave after deployment so we ended up with almost 6 weeks of him being home.

I think sex with my theoretical kid in the room would be crappy because I'd be stressed about them waking up. I could see myself doing it for GKU purposes, but not for fun.

Okay LED.
haha. I love you. I'm getting patted on the head. I get it.
H and I had sex in the same room where DS was sleeping.
This was always just a huge NO NO NO NOOOOO to me but, well, yea. There were two beds in our room in the house we were sharing with my parents, sister, and BIL. DS was sleeping and no one else would fucking leave. I was drunk and just like, meh, let's do it. It was dark, under covers, and quiet. Still judging myself but...just not as harshly as I would have thought.
If it makes you feel better, we did this this week too. For context, DS is 14 months and was in a PnP on the other side of the room. Usually, I turn DH down under these circumstances. Not this time. If DS was older, hell no. No way Jose.

I keep stalking the bagel section at the store because I know here soon the pumpkin bagels will show up. I plan on buying a ton to freeze. A toasted pumpkin bagel with cream cheese is heaven and I've been craving them since last fall!
I'd probably do it for TTC purposes but would be stressed out and not enjoy it. Once the kid was a certain age though, (also don't really know what that would be 1 1/2? 2?) no way Jose.

Also I'm originally from a developing country where it's common for entire families to live in one room if they are in urban areas. My parents, little brother and I shared a room until I was six. It's not pleasant to think about, but I'm sure couples, including my parents, didn't stop having sex after their first kid was born.
That helps put it in perspective for me. Sure, it's not ideal and doesn't help with the mood, but it's not like it scars the kids for life.

I know people bed share. My kid slept in our bed for years. We managed to not have sex with her in the room. The thought creeps me out, regardless of age.

I agree. And my family lived here in the U.S. and we still had to share a bedroom with our parents until I was at least 4 (& I had 2 older sisters).

Oh, yea I guess I coulda added that it was FW sex. So kinda quick and quiet, ::shrug:: I'll own it and say that I definitely couldn't get into great sex in this situation.

A sex FFFC not related to kids:
Last night, H was working on our shower upstairs while I was on the main floor working on laundry. I don't know exactly what he was doing, but it sounded like the squeaky, repetitive noise of a bed when you have sex on it.
FFFC: It kind of turned me on. And I can now say that I got turned on while folding laundry.

I grew up in the states, but my parents were never shy about sex in any possible way. I am pretty certain they had sex while I (and probably all of my siblings) was sleeping in the same bed at some point in my life.

This makes me sad.
Why? It's not like it scarred me or anything. I grew up knowing that sex is normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
