I use the word advisedly: these ear defenders are the only way I’ll be sure to avoid the sound of my young adult children having sex with their partners in our small semi-detached house, and I have no desire for grandchildren just yet.
My young adult children have noisy sex with their partners when they come to visit - and it makes me feel SICK.
Fighting the images that had flooded my mind, I raced down to the kitchen and demanded that Alexa play Roll With It at top volume as I walked in small circles, trying to process this new information.
This is the first year that both my children are ‘partnered up’ – and if experience is anything to go by, I have some serious noise-blocking to do.
At some point we parents are going to have to accept that our adult children have become intimate with their partners.
