It happened again.

I’m sick to my stomach. Out of 4 kids (2 his and 2 mine) my teen daughter and only my teen daughter for the second time heard us having sex. Wednesday nights my kids are at their dad’s, and his kids are at their mom’s. Well my daughter ended up getting really sick with Covid overnight so instead of my ex bringing her back to his house he bought her home at 8am cause he obviously couldn’t take her to school. We had no idea she was home. She stayed downstairs on the couch. I didn’t hear the door, didn’t hear my ring camera go off, didn’t hear the tv, dogs didn’t get up, nothing. We were going at it. No kids, loud as we want morning sex. I pick my phone up when we were done and I had a text from my daughter saying “I just threw up, I thought our dog was being murdered up there, thank you.” She is an excellent sport about it, and jokes around. Even called my step daughter telling her what she just had to listen to. They always joke and fake gag anytime him and I show PDA. But I feel absolutely terrible with this. You would think she would learn the first time (same scenario) this happened to make her presence known but no. I tried the whole “when you love someone…. Blah blah” and she cut me off. My spouse told her although you find it disgusting it is healthy that your parents have sex. Which made it even more awkward because he’s just step dad. Don’t get me wrong she’s a champ about it, making jokes. If anything she’s more upset the dogs were in the room… she said they have eyes and ears and know what’s going on. But I don’t want her to think I’m some sex crazed maniac. And I sure as hell don’t want her thinking well they make it sound like a fun time so why don’t I try it. My spouse doesn’t think it’s a huge deal. Or atleast he claims that although he can’t even look at her and ran right out the door to work. He thinks that’s how kids learn what a healthy relationship is. I agree to an extent as far as PDA, when we kiss or flirt etc. but not sex noises. It’s especially hard because she’s never even seen her dad and I kiss in her 14 years of life. I feel like a complete failure. Again. She probably thinks I’m this nympho whore that just has sex every time they aren’t around.

Aww dont worry about it too much. She is a teen and im sure kids at her school are much worse and probably don't stay with the same partner. She isnt oblivious, she knows you are having sex with your husband. It is the noises and image of what is causing those noises. At least she isnt walking in on it. Even though you arent with her bio dad that you being with your husband is normal for her. Don't over think it. We are human

As someone who has heard her parents going at it (both as a teenager and an adult) I promise she'll get over it and be completely fine. Sex is healthy and natural, it's good that she learns that.

Even if she seems fine I would still apologize to her. You didn't know she was home and it wasn't something you had intended her to hear. Maybe make a plan for if she gets dropped off like this again what she should do to notify you. I would emphasize it is not her fault because she is a child. I don't understand why the ex didn't tell you what was going on when he left her there.

I would apologize and tell her that if she needs to talk about it you are there for her. Nothing more. So you can follow her lead according her needs. I think that no one needs to hear parents having sex to understand it's healthy,... That's not ok for kids to ear their parents have sex. You didn't made it on purpose so be gentle on yourself. I would say something like "I'm sorry you get to ear your stepdad and I have sex. We didn't know you were home. Do you want to talk about it?" If she say yes, go on and answer her questions. If she says NO, tell her that you are there for her if she wants to talk anytime.
