Are the other couples having just as hard a time keeping their intimate time together quiet � not waking the kids or giving them an earful � as we are? We are finding it most difficult to do all of the different �things� we want to do. We have even kidded around about sound proofing our bedroom. It has made those hotel rooms we see on our evening walks down at the beach look pretty good � do some of you resort to this to have some really private time? Just to have the house to ourselves seems like heaven. To those of you that don�t have this problem � I�m jealous!!

Add a mother in law to this and you have OUR lives! Our 5 year old sleeps through anything, so we don't worry so much about him, but Eddy's mom lives in a converted little apartment out back and comes in at any time, which makes morning sessions extremely difficult and keeps us on edge until about 10pm nightly. I guess this explains how we yell and scream like animals whenever we get away to Vegas in one of the hotels

We added alock to the bedroom door and a noisy fan in the hallway, we also built a 2nd floor on our house and only our bedroom and my sewing room are up there. The kids are downstairs.
About a month ago our 9 year old started sleep walking, scared the crap out of us! He had been asleep for a while so we did not lock the door, it is amazing what someone will do while sleep walking!! up a flight of stairs open the door and stand by the bed and watch!!! yikes, mom what are you doing??? Does not say dad what are you doing?? luckly he does not remember a thing the next day.

Hmmm lets see....well stuffing a pillow in your mouth helps muffle the screams (although the first time I did this I almost smothered the cowboy and freaked him cos he thought I was trying to kill him!) We have cowboy's roommate upstairs (I'm in the basement suite downstairs!) who I'm pretty sure is listening in and soloing during it and, a child in the next room. The childs only walked in once so far but goes to sleep late so we end up waiting til 11pm to get anything going.
