My husband and I are disagreeing... Sometimes our son age 12 (and autistic) will knock on our bedroom door while we are in the middle of sex. My husband will respond "In a little while." Then our son will come back in 5 or 10 minutes asking "Are you ready yet?" Sometimes we just don't finish because it ruins the mood. I think we should tell our son that we are being romantic and to leave us alone! Husband thinks it is weird to let him know what we are up to. I mean we're not going into detail ffs. Waiting until he goes to bed isn't an option. What have you done?
I would be concerned that too much information given to your son might dampen your husband's "enthusiasm" and that would not be good for either of you. I like the do not disturb sign.
Let him know: When the bedroom door is closed, you may not interrupt.
best,

I can attest ..having worked with such boys in a school setting.. Whatever you explain to him will likely be run past his schoolmates and instructors How about a little βdo not disturbβ sign/ face you can hang on your door knob ..in red. Be good about removing it, and diligent in placing it.
He is homeschooled but I also don't think it should be taboo that parents are intimate with each other. I could try something on the door and see how it works.
@soulless It doesn't have to be like shock but can be taken casually if he happens to come in. "Hey we're busy right now--"
@soulless You could also invest in a lock
@Skeezwazzle Oh, it's locked lol.
@Skeezwazzle, @soulless ...Iβm envisioning any number of former little sixth grade charges They could be very attentive, and persistent!
