My husband and I were doing the ~~vertical~~ **horizontal** tango in the dark when out of nowhere 1-2 feet from my face our almost-4-year-old asked “What are you doing??”
I’m so embarrassed hahaha neither of us heard him wake up or get out of bed or enter our room. I have no clue how long he was there but I really really hope he had just gotten there. I’ve heard kids don’t form lasting memories until around 5 years old and I’m absolutely praying that’s true. I don’t want this to be his first memory!!!! I couldn’t stop laughing like gotta laugh not to cry.
And the worst part is this has kind of happened once before. When he was still quite young, like 18mo-2ish, we were interrupted by our door creaking open and then our son burst into tears and ran away sobbing. He couldn’t talk much at that point & I don’t think he could really even process what he saw/heard back then but from his reaction he must’ve thought we were fighting.
And for context because I’m sure it’ll be the first question on reader’s minds, we live in a cheap old modular home that’s kinda sinking on one end so none of our doors properly close/lock. For this reason we always wait until the middle of the night. I think it’s time to move 😭😭😭
TL;DR our almost-4-year-old walked in on my husband and I getting it on and I’m worried we’ve traumatized him forever
