I mean come on- do kids appreciate listening to their parents?

This isn't sharing time-it's quiet and discreet and if they can not do that then they won't do it anywhere near my house.

I've been thinking a lot about this, Nephythys. It's a tough situation and I think you deserve

for being really clear with your son.

This is only how I would see it with my two girls. They know very well how much noise carries in our house. They know that they need to whisper upstairs about who "borrowed" whose clothes and didn't return them, if they don't want mom to hear. I would definitely think that if I overheard one of them having sex, that daughter was testing me, maybe even "asking" me to rise to the occasion and set/reaffirm the boundaries appropriate for our family.
