"From the other side, we would never arrange a meet with people who will have their children in the house at the time..." Agreed. | |||

"HELL NO! Not for fear of them waking up but because our home is their haven, their safe place. I have no doubt me and Bradley could handle ourselves if we invited someone into our home who turned out to be violent, unhinged or dangerous but it's one thing to put yourself at risk, and a completely different level to do the same to your kids." Paranoia at it's best? Maybe. But I do not want any stranger under the same roof as my kids. | |||

"It seems we aren't the only one with young kids who do swinging. We have met people at clubs who have their parents looking after the children (as do we) and have spoken to several couples on Fab in a similar situation. So, I have a question. Would you invite couples to join you at your own home for a bit of fun while your kids were asleep? Our kids are 9 and 5 respectively. They are normally in bed and asleep by 8.30 pm at the latest and nearly always sleep soundly throughout the night. So, would YOU invite a couple to play at your place if you were in our situation? " No and I would never post the fact that I had children at home and their sleeping habits on an internet forum either. | |||

"Okay, here are a few scenarios: 1. It is presumably fine to tuck the kids up, have friends over and have a meal, drink a few bottles of wine, put on some music etc. 2. It is fine for mum and dad to have sex (obviously). 3. It is fine to have friends to stay in the guest room, who then have sex. 4. Is it fine for a single mum or dad to have a person over who they then have sex with? I think the last one is where we start to enter more difficult territory. But, surely none of you would say that a single mum or dad cannot have sex ever again. ![]() I'm single and have never had anyone to stay overnight. I would only do that with a trusted bf, which im not interested in at the moment. That's just me though | |||

"As a single mum of 3 my play time is very limited. However I wouldn't dream of inviting strangers in to my home. Even if they weren't there. That said with someone I was comfortable with and know well I would invite them over. Though it would have to be after midnight and they would have to be gone long before my boys got up. And let's face it. Who wants to do that! " This is actually a really good point imo. I'm not talking about strangers but people who you have met and feel you trust, like any other friends you might have to stay, only these friends are fucking with you ![]() | |||

Having them at mine late at night would be my only option. I don't have the luxury of family on tap to babysit. It would then be even more time before they got to meet my sons and even then I'd have to be convinced it was going to last. I've been divorced 6 years now and my boys have never met anyone. Although now they tell me they want me to find someone and go on dates. It's terrifying. | |||

"Would NEVER EVER consider it. For one if my kids walk in on me and my husband having sex is one thing, but for them to walk in on mum getting spit roast by a complete stranger is quite another. I would also Never go to someone's house if they had their kids at home, no matter their age or the fact that once they are asleep they never wake up. Any parent knows that is a lie, just because my kids normally sleep right through doesn't mean they never got up, have taken ill or just need a glass of water. I respect any child's mental well being over a shag." ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"You asked a question. People are giving their opinions on what you asked. " Yes, that's right and (in the main) I respect their opinions. I think I was just throwing out a scenario that I have personal knowledge of to provoke (not in a bad way, just interrogating a bit) some of those opinions. I should stress that I DO respect other opinions and have found the response very useful. It certainly has encouraged a fuller discussion with my wife about this. | |||

" I see a few couples on a regularly basis in these circumstances and have also seen single ladies . I am just a normal visitor to the house and adjust my behaviour to the circumstances I.e . keep noise to a minimum and don't ring the door bell.. As action will be in the lounge , it will either be locked or blocked shut . Should children upstairs wake up ,I can be dressed promptly and just become a normal visitor. On the occasions where children have woken up and not gone back to sleep I have simply left the house discretely . Providing you behave appropriately and recognise that the children have priority in any household , no issues should arise . You just need to remember to keep noise levels down | |||

"We feel the people who say no because of the possible danger to their children are paranoid and perhaps should seek help as they could possibly be harming their children’s development. Do those same people refuse access to workmen, friends or family for the same reason. After all there is more chance of being attacked by family than a stranger. " Do you genuinely believe that? I didn't ever refuse access to workmen etc because they were unlikely to be in my home at night, when my children were asleep. There is more chance of being abused by family than by a stranger but do you know some of the reasons for that? Family have access, they have knowledge of where the kids will be and when, they have the trust of the parents.....all the things that you would potentially hand to any swinging meets you invite into your home. If you feel that's paranoid and I need help I don't care, it makes sense to me. | |||

"We feel the people who say no because of the possible danger to their children are paranoid and perhaps should seek help as they could possibly be harming their children’s development. Do those same people refuse access to workmen, friends or family for the same reason. After all there is more chance of being attacked by family than a stranger. Do you genuinely believe that?

"Yes, we would. But ONLY the friends we have made here (and elsewhere). Real life friends now (we go to each other's weddings, christenings & funerals). The least amount of time we have known any of these friends is 5 years, most 7-10 years plus so they're not strangers. Our families are both several hundred miles away and we don't have a babysitter. Little legs can't get out of the cot or past the stairgate and all play would be downstairs. For us it's the only option and in these circumstances I don't see the issue. *Her* " Her interesting point...normally I would not even consider playing if kids were in house (I have with a couple before) If I knew the people eg for a long time then I would be more comfortable in playing if that makes sense | |||

"The question of whether we would or wouldn't invite anyone over is moot - in a house with kids of a range of ages, it simply is not possible to tidy sufficiently well (and keep it tidy for more than 12 bloody milliseconds) to invite anyone over, without the worry of them getting an unexpected piece of lego stuck painfully somewhere embarrassing. " Hahahahahaha yes!!! I know that fear ![]() | |||

Also I think the dynamics are different if you're a couple, but as a single woman with young daughters in the house I'd rather the paranoia of keeping strangers out of my children's home. | |||
