Ever since our third child was born Twiggy and I have been counting down a few milestones. One of which happened yesterday. Miss L went back to school, Miss E started kindy and Miss H had an afternoon nap, leaving us some time at home without our children haranguing us. Don’t get me wrong we love our children, but we also love our home and we don’t ever get time in it without the kids to just hang out, if you get my drift.
The next milestone will be when all three kids are at school and kindy, but that won’t happen for years. Until then, we’ll just have to do what every couple with kids do, sneak around. Or wait until everyone is asleep and hope no-one sneaks into our room.
How do you get around it or do you have a lock on your door?

Hi, I'm Bianca Wordley, I write about life.
Lock on door. It’s a must have, they never grow out of barging in. Never.
Lock on the door, and the rule that they have to knock… Just in case we have forgotten to lock it! And vegemitevix is right, they never grow out of it! Mine are 16, 14 and nearly 6!
One of us will get up, organise breakfast and give them the ipad. Once the door is shut they know to knock, though we don’t have a lock, I’m getting nervous now looking at other comments!
You don’t have a lock on your door? Bloody hell! Get a lock on your door!!!
Have you forgotten? That afternoon delight is HOW you’ve come to being trailed by 3 little strangers all the time! And you want to sneak away for more?!
It sounds like you’re a teenager again 🙂
Oh my God, you have to have a lock on your door! Trust me. We got sprung once by our then-12 year old after my husband FORGOT to lock the door (it was closed, but not locked). Well. Son bowls in and sees father’s NAKED body moving mid-thrust over an obviously naked me… oops. We froze, he took one look at us and raced out. It was 10 minutes before we could stop laughing and go downstairs to check we hadn’t traumatised him for life, lol. And you know what my husband said? “Just as well he didn’t come in 5 minutes earlier then, hey?”
SO GET THAT LOCK! 🙂
We don’t have a lock on our door, the kids would freak completely, though they can’t get out of their room if they’re napping (handles too high – still). So thats how we get around it!
My parents and I live with my parents, so it’s even harder because they actually know what sex is (and sounds like)! HA!
Oh god! I meant partner! typo. (This is why I should never leave comments.) Love your honesty in all your blogs Bianca, you crack me up. x
What are you all talking about?!? The only thing we’re getting up to in the bedroom is sleep. And mostly not at the same time.
