A mom has pretty candidly expressed that she "played dead" after her kids walked in on her "mid thrust"... if you catch my drift.
Look, as we get older our sex lives change from when we were in our early 20s and once you have kids that can often mean that alone time with your partner is a rare occasion.
That being said, it should always be remembered that as a couple you aren't just someone's parents, but you are still in love with each other (hopefully) and that usually goes hand in hand with being intimate.
So you've got to be sneaky and find time for each other in the rare moments of peace... but one mom was caught in the act and took to Instagram to tell her followers.
Jessica Hood, a mommy blogger, author, and mental health advocate took to the social media platform to tell her followers all about her unfortunate evening of being "busted mid thrust".
Jessica began: "It's all happened to us. Its 9:30pm on a Wednesday what could possibly go wrong? Little bit of nookie never hurt anyone right?"
Turns out Jessica, it can. Just as she and her partner Karl were getting down to it, her bedroom door flew open and her kids were there staring into the room.
"I thought my heart couldn't race any faster during such an intimate moment but now I'm on the verge of [cardiac] arrest," the mother went on.
She added: "It was like a stampede of elephants except there was no warning. I mean Why would there be?! They're meant [to] be asleep!!"
Jessica continued: "So here I am, naked, not my best angle, Legs sky high! Lucky I had Karl's pastey white a** blocking my 5'oclock shadow because it could of been so much worse [sic]."
So what did the mom, who was a bit like a deer in headlights at this point, do to get out of the unfortunate situation?
She did what every possum in the world would do, and played dead.
"I played b***dy dead!! I even threw a little bit of the tongue out the side of my mouth. YEP I actually did that," she wrote.
After moving out of the compromising position, Jessica and Karl hoped that their kids wouldn't have realized what they were up to, probably so they aren't scarred for life.
But her oldest, seven-year-old Lily, seemed to be a bit ahead of her age and had an idea of what she had witnessed.
When the inevitable questions came, Karl replied: "We are play fighting. I'm giving mommy a massage."
Jessica explained: "Karl then tells them to get back to bed and our act of love seems to go unnoticed without any questions. That was until I heard Lily walking off with Logan up the hallway.
"She *giggles* mom and dad were doing sex. Then Logan lets out a big laugh."
Yikes.
Jessica concluded her story: "Just wonderful! I've scarred my kids for life, either that or I've set them up for a life of 'blackmailing mommy and daddy'.
"They have one over us and I'm worried. Kids are more clued on than we give them credit for. Be warned, next week we may have a pony in our backyard and a brand new swimming pool."
I get the feeling that this could be an interesting conversation over the dinner table in a few years' time.
