I have 2 teenage sons who have told me on several occasions that they can hear their dad (in the next room) having sex with his girlfriend. I have mentioned this to their father and asked him to ask his girlfriend to keep it down - this was met with much hostility. Should I say anything else and what would you do?

Quoting Dale:
The boys are 15 & 17 (almost 18). Im not sure if they would tell him as they find it very embarressing to discuss with him. Not to mention he gets so uptight about being told that he needs to correct one of his bad behaviours.
Hmmm then the passive agressive approach is the way to go...like the pounding on the wall, or do they have a radio of tv in their room? If so tell them to turn it up loud! That would block the noise from them, and at the same time let Dad and girlfriend know they hear them. Maybe if the girlfriend knew then she would be embarassed enough to be quiet! Do you know someone that knows the girlfriend? Maybe they could talk to her for your boys.

How old are your boys?? LOL I would tell them to pound on the wall! My kids would in some way make it obvious that they heard, and then go about embarassing the girlfriend and dad to death. Of course my kids have a huge sense of humor, and especially if they weren't happy about dad's girlfriend would make it clear how much they heard. Like have a loud conversation at breakfast about how they couldn't sleep because they are sure the place is haunted because what else could all the moaning be??? Or, bless their hearts, would mention it in front of dad's friends or parents...etc.... Seriously, it may be taken more seriously by dad coming from the kids and not you. If they can't do it in a funny way, then maybe they should mention it to him themselves, and let him know it makes them uncomfortable, and maybe if they tell him they would rather not come for overnights if the situation continues he may listen. They don't need to hear it, and he's a grown man he can wait til they go home!
