reason to moan Mumsnet user asks for advice on how to deal with hearing her SON having sex
FAKING AN EFFORT Woman rages after mum pretends she's anorexic to get 6 MONTHS off work to 'help her recover'
'Can't you just read Fifty Shades?' Married mum causes outrage on Mumsnet after asking for tips on visiting sex clubs
'It'll shake your fillings out' Wife asks Mumsnet what sex toys she should use to spice up her marriage
Her fellow Mumsnet users are far from sympathetic... with many of them saying she should have set better boundaries
A MUM has been left "mortified" after accidentally telling her son a bit TOO much information about her sex life.
Mumnset user bestoutofthree said she was "taken by surprise" by her 12-year-old's questions, and now regrets letting her secrets slip.
The mum explained that her son asked: "How often do you and Dad have sex?" and, after checking that he was sure he wanted to know, she said: "Once or twice a week I guess".
At which point, her son replied: "Oh. Now NEVER say that again," leaving his baffled mum to reply: "You asked! And I double checked!"
Her post continued: "I am a very modest person and never talk about sex with friends at all, but DS (dear son) has far fewer inhibitions and often mentions things I find embarrassing.
"I would never in a million years have asked that question of my mother! Has anyone had discussions like that with their DC (dear children)?
"I expect normal 'what is sex' conversations but didn't expect personal questions like that."
But most of her fellow mums felt she shouldn't have given so much away.
Among them was steff13, who wrote: "I would have told him it wasn't his business."
While TheStoic said: "I probably would have asked why he wanted to know. Seems like an odd response to your answer."
And FenceSitter01 added: "There are boundaries in any relationship. It is inappropriate for anyone to enquire about your sex life, unless its a HCP (health care professional).
"Be that your parents, children or friends. Some things just are private."
While YetAnotherSpartacus warned: "Maybe he's comparing with his friends over Facebook and you'll earn the most embarrassing parent award cos (because) the others won't admit they have done it since the conception of the enquirer?"
She added: "Oh - and they'll all share with their parents and you'll see lots of raised eyebrows. Also - your DS will need therapy."
And MrsOverTheRoad wrote: "I think you should have used the opportunity to teach him about boundaries! It's an inappropriate question."
After hearing from the other mums, bestoutofthree added: "Now I regret answering.. I was caught off guard."
But VladmirsPoutine was more sympathetic, writing: "Tbh (to be honest) he asked and you felt ok in answering.
"It's not as if you casually mentioned it to the cashier at Tesco or something.
"It's typical that he'll feel grossed out by it. But there we go. He asked a question and got an answer."
TheStoic added: "Just leave it. It's not your fault, you were caught off guard. Nobody expects a question like that out of the blue."
And Lethaldrizzle joked: "I'm impressed with once or twice a week!"

Teachers will do just about anything to get their students' attention these days. As as result of growing up in the smartphone era, Gen Z-ers only have eight-second attention spans , so sometimes teacher (and parents) have to go to extremes. Debby Heerkens, a seventh-grade biology teacher at the Groene Hart Rijnwoude school in the Netherlands, did just that when she began a lesson about how our bodies work.
To the shock of her students, she stood up on her desk and stripped off her clothes, revealing a full Spandex bodysuit that accurately illustrated every muscle and organ in the body. She then stripped again, revealing another full Spandex bodysuit that outlined where all of our bones are located. Talk about a lesson her students will truly remember!
Lest parents be concerned that she shouldn't have been "stripping" in front of her class, Heerkens discussed her unusual lesson plan with the school's director prior to that day. After seeing someone walking around in the leggings last year, she set out to find a full body suit that would showcase all of the muscles and organs. "You're always looking for ways to trigger students and classes to give so that they remember it too," Heerkens told Omroep West . "I told the director [and he] said . . . he liked it too."
We have a feeling her students will never forget the locations of their muscles or organs ever again! For a closer look at the bodysuits, see the photos the school posted below.
