Secondly, Set Up Sexual Boundaries
Secondly, Set Up Sexual Boundaries Your kids need to understand that both parenting and sex are important. They already see how you have made parenting a priority. But they also need to respect the time you give to yourself and your husband. Instruct your children about respecting your privacy and “couple only” time. Teach them:- Get a lock on your bedroom door and tell your kids, “Always knock on a closed door and wait to be invited in.”
- Don’t interrupt mom and dad when they’re on the phone or in a conversation.
- Consider mommy “off duty” during her 15 minute break time.

Teach your kids positive messages about sexuality. Don’t let them speak derogatively about sex and love. Help your children understand the importance of mom and dad having alone time. “When the babysitter comes and mom and dad leave, it helps mom and dad love each other more! The love between mom and dad is very important in a family!”
