Too many kids. We have an adjoining room and even still we get the little ones in our room - baby and 8yo. Oh goodie!
Had to giggle at the waterlogged camel. That is just about the case.
Yes - I think tonight when we have "the talk" that I asked for and he will come into with great dread and trepidation I will point out that sex is the best stress reliever I know. I have often told him things of this nature and he seems to persist in providing the cure that would suit him when he is feeling that way himself. Likewise, I suppose that when I see him looking "down" about something I often persist with stuff that isn't helpful to him.
I have never worried about the kids waking up from the next room. As I posted elsewhere, we often heard little "Mmmms and Aahs" coming from my parents room (we often lived in base housing which had very thin walls). I also remember the comfort of knowing that my parents really loved each other even though as an adolescent it was a little icky to think about. Anyway, if your W won't accept that argument then the benadryl/sock option isn't bad.
