She was already asleep, and they share a room. We gently confronted him, and he admitted to it, but he was very embarrassed, and my daughter is mortified. My husband and I have only been married six months and we moved into his two-bedroom condo. We obviously need more room, but we felt demonstrating a positive, loving relationship after both of our bad divorces was more important. His son goes back and forth between his mother’s home and ours. We aren’t sure what to do at this point.
Yes, it is important to demonstrate a loving relationship, but there’s so much more to moving in together than, “Look how well we get along.” This is not only your home, but your children’s home. They need their individual space and privacy just as you do. People change in their bedrooms or retire to their room and close the door for privacy. Parents often see their children as innocent little ones and it doesn’t register that their babies have sexual feelings in adolescence.
Consider this: If your daughter invited a boy from her class over, they decided to hang out in her bedroom, how much privacy would you allow them? Would you monitor their interaction? When I have posed this question to other parents, they’re answer is usually, “We wouldn’t have let them hang out in the bedroom.” But, you have expected your children to share a bedroom…
So, what are the alternatives at this point? Make it a priority to find a more appropriate space for your family. I understand that finances may be a consideration, but so is your children’s comfort.
