My 6-year-old walked in on us doing the deed: How should we handle this?

Lol… just tell her that was mommy and daddy private time… and thats what two ppl do when they love each other… apologize and try not to go into to many details

If you dont feel comfortable just tell her that you and daddy were having a special together time and leave it at that

Mommy and daddy were having mommy and daddy time. Not for kids to see? To make it simple. Idk, I don’t keep things from my kid. She knew about everything by the time she was six. And saw her brother born when she was six. To each their own

Why are u asking Facebook for advice on this?? Y’all to ur husband y’all the parents of that child and know how she going react not us

My mom taught me about all that at that age. They do have to learn sometime and better from mom and dad.

For those saying lock the door, my 5yo can unlock the door I have to have something physically block it …

Depending what position… just say you were getting a back rub

Just explain to her mummy and daddy were having private time doing things together that adults like to do together and from now on if mummy and daddys door is shut don’t come in lol

Be honest and age appropriate. Keep it simple.

Happened to me once. I offered a bribe or counseling. She took the bribe lol

My 10 year , used my room key which I stupidly left out of my room, and opened my door 3 inches enough to see the back of her dad and me laying in bed…thank God we were not having sex, but he was in a position where she either thinks I was sucking his things or she could have seen his arm jacking his self off but either way, I’ve told my kids several times to stay away from my room when my door is closed and don’t be hovering n the hallway…tell her not the truth but something that’s oddly believable.

She is to young to learn about sex. Just tell her private time married people have. And learn to lock your door.

Truth shall set you free

Id say we were wrestling and if she asks how come you never had clothes on, cause it was hot. I would NEVER be ready to have that conversation lol

There was an episode of this on 7th heaven can’t tell you the outcome but maybe it could be helpful good luck

You can either not say anything at all or tell her she doesn’t need to worry about what ADULTS are doing!!!
MAYBE lock your door next time so she can’t just walk in to see what’s going on!!! Next time keep your mouth shut an not make noise an then you wouldn’t have to worry about her hearing you

Why ppl have to make noise when fucking is beyond me but whateves!!! I have never had a problem with my kids walking in on me or being woke up bc I was quiet an had RESPECT for my kids…

Sex is a natural; you don’t have to give her details but don’t lie or make things up. I’m sorry that we woke you, mommy and daddy were having sex. It is an activity that only adults do. That will probably satisfy her curiosity. If it doesn’t answer whatever additional questions she has in age appropriate ways. Don’t make it out to be something bad…or you will give her issues when she is grown.

“we were dancing”… Worked for my 6yo old at the time😂🤷

My six year old was told by another child at school that sex is when you lay on top of each other and kiss and bounce up and down. So if your child is in school I’m sure someone has already given her some kind of idea what sex is. I simply explained to her that the word sex is in fact what we use to describe male or female boy or girl and it’s not an appropriate word for children to use at her age. As far as getting caught in the act I would honestly either ignore it or tell her wow that was weird lol. My kids are 6&4 and nobody’s sexuality is up for discussion at this point in their lives.

As a daycare worker (with children as young as 2 1/2), I can assure you it happens. Not only does it happen, if you don’t at least give some type of explanation, someone else will hear about it. I’ve had plenty of kids tell other kids they saw mommy and daddy/boyfriend wrestling naked in bed, kissing while naked, showing love the way grown ups do… some have even gone as far as drawing a picture :flushed::rofl: I’ve also had an instance where the kid was playing house and tried to get naked (upon asking the mom about this, found out she had walked in on mom and dad a few days before and she just thought that’s what moms and dads do) I’m telling you this to one, warn you that someone else will hear of this cause 9/10 they tell cause they think it’s weird and want to know what someone else says and two, just so you don’t feel like an awful mom or whatever. It happens.

Ok, your going to have to forgive me. I laughed to the point of my eyes watering. :rofl::rofl::joy: only because one of ours did this at 2.
I’d say be honest if they ask. Just leave out the
“details”. And try to give honest answers, and if you don’t have an answer tell the kid that and that you’ll do your best to find one.

Just be honest. I walked in on my parents a few time. I was so confused but as i got older I figured it out on my own. Sex is a natural thing to happen between 2 people.

I was about that age when my mom told me and my sister who is 18 months younger than me. We wanted to know where babies come from and my mom told us but at a age appropriate way. That when you get bigger and love someone you have a special time together but that olny grownups can do it.

Just tell her you were praying. :rofl: or ya know, mommy and daddy stuff. If she knows the proper names for body parts you can start teaching them the birds and the bees.

Get a lock for your door lol my kids always come in my room so we lock the door religiously when it’s going down.

Don’t worry it’s happened to me you just don’t know what to say or where to put your face lol

Mommy and daddy where wrestling… Trust me those words are magic.

If the child brings it up, deal with it then, use the advice from Karen Cervantes. It’s good.

Just say yall was wrestling… to see who wins to make dinner… whoever on top was in fact the winner :joy::rofl:

Be. Honest. Just. Tell. Them. You. Were. Having. Mommy & Daddy. Time. Together. You. Don’t. Have tTo. Go. In. Detail. Just. Make. Sure. It. Is. Something. She. Can. Understand.

I wouldn’t tell her yet.

Put a lock on your door keep them out

I told my five year old it’s a ‘special kiss’

Tell her you guys were making love not having sex and that its something only married people should do if she has questions to ask be truthful but age appropriate

Just say dad was tickling Mommy to make her laugh out loud

No u don’t tell your 6 year old… you guys were hving sex. Dont expose them to it so early. They cant grasp the concept… You can tell them mommy and daddy were playing together. And that type of play is only for a married mommy and daddy.

LOL, this happened with my daughter and the next day my granddaughter came ti me saying that her mommy must have been bad because she went into their room and he was giving her a huge spanking lol. Well i took it as he was upset and getting physical as in abusive manner so I jumped on the phone to my daughter and said fir her to pack up you and the kids cuz i wont stand for anyones physical abuse and she started laughing so hard and was finally able to spit out the actual story, wich was they were enjoying some alone time and as she walked in, it was perfect timing to him smackiing her ass… LOL out of the mouth of babes :rofl::joy::grin:

I would be honest but I wouldn’t bring it up and I would just say something nonchalant. Don’t make it a huge thing. Now if you want to use this to start teaching the birds and the bees you can use the opportunity but if it were me I would just say something like we were playing or something like that.
