<p>Parents-What do you feel is an appropriate level of public display of affection in your home for your freshman college aged students and their significant other? At what point are you uncomfortable? No other siblings or relatives to worry about but I feel that legs intertwined and arms wrapped around each other on the couch while watching movies is a little much.</p>
<p>legs intertwined and arms wrapped around each other on the couch while watching movies is fine with me</p>
<p>Not enough facts for an informed response. (Be thankful it’s just “a little much.”)</p>
<p>Well, the first time I saw “the legs intertwined” it did give me a start, but I didn’t really expect them to leap apart when I walked in the room, and it’s fine with me now. Anything further with me or other people around would be . . . weird.</p>
<p>Whatever you and your spouse would do in front of them.</p>
<p>I’d be happy my kid found someone to be happy with. Sounds sweet to me.</p>
<p>Just a funny little aside. There’s a dance mom who has recently remarried. Her new husband is really trying to be a good stepdad and comes to all the booster club meetings with his new wife. They are all over each other! If it wasn’t gross it would be funny - most of us at the meetings have been married 18-25 years, so public display of affection by other parents is about the last thing we expect to see!</p>
<p>Basically as long as they still have their clothes on, I’m ok with whatever.</p>
<p>…but when it gets down grunts, groans, underwear removal, or snorting coke off each others butt…then I demand they retire to a bedroom.</p>
<p>without divulging too many details, this thread hit very close to home today; </p>
<p>all boyfriends were basically forbidden from our upcoming family holiday party because of a “hot tub incident” with a teenage couple last summer…</p>
<p>intertwining clothed on the couch sounds mild to me based on this recent development…lolol</p>
