How do I explain to my little sister that it s perfectly healthy that our mom is sexually active with her long-time boyfriend?
My little sister (11) is upset that my mom is sexually active. She s been divorced for 10+ years, she s healthy, happy, responsible, and it s frankly nobody s business whether or not she s having sex. But my sister doesn t see it that way. I don t understand why, but no matter what anyone says or does, she s still angry about my mom having sex. We re not a religious family, we aren t sheltered, and my mom is a GREAT mom. How can we make my sister stop being annoying about my mom s PRIVATE sex life?

It might be that your sister is having a hard time understanding that your mother is an adult and has adult needs, because an 11yo doesn't have the same needs or experiences, her understanding is going to be limited. Your family might be open-minded, but maybe your sister hears a lot at school about how sex is bad, and so she's worried about her mom. It might also be that she feels jealous that her mother is spending time with someone else. This isn't something you should have to explain to her, though. Your mother should be having a conversation with her. And maybe doing a little more to keep her "private" life actually private.

Nothing wrong with it, but maybe mom could be a little quieter about it. My son never heard me & my gent.
