Oh yeah, it’s a whole different ball game.
1. It is initiated with a single look over the dinner table.

4. You have become masters of silent sex.

5. You wear all your clothes throughout.
Pyjamas covered in mashed potato are bringing sexy back.
6. And always ensure full duvet coverage.

Nothing like a constant reminder that children are nearby.
10. Then you hear the tap of tiny footsteps.

11. Honestly, we weren’t doing what you thought we were, it was just a special parent dance.

12. But the guilt is written all over your face.
How long till they move out?
