“Mama, why is our house so wobbly?”

When it turns out that your exciting quickie – far away from everyone – was quite on the watch, you pay more attention during your vacation.
Esther (36): “Nice, those French montagnes, but for me they are a mood killer. Not because of my husband, I like him just as much as I do at home. Because of the thin walls of such a mobile home, the camping neighbors, the children of seven and nine. As soon as I think for a second that someone can hear me, my sentence drops to zero.
“At home we make up for it threefold”
So we do nothing for three weeks. I don’t even sleep in his arms, way too warm. My husband has just resigned himself to it. He knows: at home we make up for it threefold – we have concrete walls everywhere and our own sleeping floor.”
Advantages of a tent
Nikki (37): “We thought it would be ideal, such a mobile home. The camping feeling, but not the inconvenience of going to the toilet through the dark at night and showering with thirty others. We booked the most spacious one we could find, with our children’s bedrooms aged four and seven on one side and ours on the other.
“Why is our house so wobbly?”
The first night my husband and I went rosy off the rosé, our eldest knocked on the door. Why our house wobbled so much. Next time we will go in a tent again – the children in their own toss tent next to ours.”

Nice view
Brenda (40): “Sex: I don’t think it’s doable in such a small holiday home. Once, to get away from the kids, then nine and eleven, husband and I ducked into a park at the campground and did an exciting quickie against a tree. In the pitch dark, far from everyone.
When we went to get bread the next day, our tree turned out to be right in front of a row of camping wagons. That was the last time we did it, that holiday.”
Thin walls
Mariska (37): “We had no idea the walls of our Austrian guest house were so thin. We were just staying there for three nights when the hostess appeared at our breakfast table. Whether we were having a good time, and that it was so nice to be there – our children thought she was also exemplary.
She paused, kneeled at eye level with us, and whispered, “Some of the other guys just think you’re a little too cosy. Could you maybe be a little quieter at night?’
“Never before have we had so little sex as the rest of that holiday”
My head turned so red it almost exploded. To which our oldest daughter – as if it couldn’t get any worse – yelled at full volume: ‘Hey Mom, why are you getting so red?’ I have never been so happy that we were not among the Dutch and we have never had so little sex as the rest of that holiday.”
