How would you feel being intimate with you partner around someone’s child?

[Myamay1377]

Nothing weird, but let’s say for instance he or she has another child who is one (we have one who is younger together but whenever we do anything she’s sleep in her crib and away from us) and they tried to be intimate with you would you not feel uncomfortable? I just look at as a mother or father, if things weren’t to work with y’all, you as well personally wouldn’t want them and some else being intimate in the same room as your sleeping child. I just felt like it would’ve been disrespectful to the other child’s mom honestly. Was I wrong?

You are the child's role model. Obviously, you don't want to go to extremes in front of a child, but it's important to show the importance of being loving toward one's partner. It's OK to be playful and even share a passionate kiss, but don't grab for or expose body parts. It's important to show you care about your partner and aren't afraid to show it. Showing comfort with intimacy (without taking it to extremes) will help the child be comfortable with showing intimacy as an adult. If you treat it as taboo, the child will grow up with hangups and confusion and will have a hard time being an effective partner as an adult.

Not good with that at all
