Non-monogamy and kids, careers?
Our umfriend D is about 7 weeks pregnant (and she's got giant boobies! They were huge to begin with but now they're ginormous!) and though it'll be a few years before the kid's able to talk and understand such things, she's already worrying about how to keep any sexual relationship we have at that point under wraps. She's not so much worried about warping her child, I don't think, as much as having him/her blab something in public. She and her husband are both teachers, and having it known in the wrong circles that they have an unconventional marriage would be pretty disastrous.
It's not like we live together, but we are over at their house all the time, and vice versa, and we like to all sleep (really sleep, not "sleep") together sometimes in various configurations. I imagine it'll be pretty easy to keep our "dates" under wraps when she and I get frisky, but casual affection and flirting just kind of sneak out.
So, for those of you who've been through this, how do you keep your kids from spilling the beans? I know some things will naturally have to change, but I'd like to keep the close relationship we have, and I don't want them to get in trouble because a four-year-old tells someone's mommie about Aunt Lurky staying overnight...
