Dear Queenie,
I love to visit my parents and they always ask me to stay with them for a few days, but the walls in their house are thin and sometimes they wake me up when they are having sex.
I’m glad to know they still love each other that way, but it’s embarrassing and I can’t talk to them about it because sex is something we don’t talk about in our family.
Queenie, should I stay at a hotel the next time I visit them?—Embarrassed daughter
Dear Daughter,
If you can afford to stay at a hotel, by all means do so. If your parents ask why, tell them you know they need their privacy. I am sure they will understand what you mean.
However, if you cannot afford a hotel, try investing in a set of earplugs to use while you are sleeping. Unless they actually shake the house when they make love, the earplugs should keep you from being awakened by it.
