   I would so not even consider that. Perhaps close the door, but don’t lock it. My little man used to sneak into our room whenever he wet the bed – what if we had locked the door? Would he end up sleeping in the hall? Or go back to his wet bed? That’s terrible! Or what if something scared them – nightmares where the other reason our son used to sneak in. But he would never wake us, just curl up at the foot of our bed. What if our door was locked? Would he have to curl up and cry at our door, being scared and alone all through the night – I can’t think of anything more heartbreaking!

   If your concerned about your little fellow walking in on you then wait till after they go to sleep, but locking the door can be dangerous.

   I definitely say no to that! What if there is something genuinely wrong that your toddler needs you for? What if they have a horrible nightmare and are really upset and you don’t hear them wake up and they are all alone in the hallway? They’d be terrified.

   I know when it happened its mortifying but honestly if your little person walks in on the whole marital act just give them a sex ed talk and send them on their way. No biggy – they have to learn eventually, they aren’t embarrassed by it, they have no real concept of what’s going on, so why should you be embarrassed.
