I have some guests coming over to spend Xmas with me for a couple of days. They are my friends family and I have a larger place than them and am playing host.
Dilemma
They are Christians and I have some postcards in my bathroom that are slightly naughty. For the adults I am not concerned but they have 3 girls aged 8 + 12 + 17.
What do I do?
1. Nothing
2. Remove the naughty cards
3. Place paper over the naughty cards.
Its my home, but I want to be sensitive.
All ideas welcome!
Thanks
Paul
Define naughty.
Unless it is pornographic I would just say it is your house and the girls will see and hear this stuff all the time at school anyway.
1. Do nothing. I bet the girls will think you are awesome having them up (unless of course they are fully indoctrinated fundies).
Its toilet humour.
Jokes about Viagra
A naked couple in their 80s laughing as he grabs her boobs
etc etc etc
They are not all naughty just a few!
If your place is large get them to use the other 4 bathrooms. I am sure you have 5 altogether Kate xx
Leave em up, if that causes offence then tough, they are not your friends, they are your friends family and you are likely over thinking their opinion of you. If the girls are raised as strict Christian then they will need every chance to see that sort of thing I say. LOL.

They are Christians
'Christians' and 'naughty humour' are not mutually exclusive.
School is worse. Trust me.
I was a good little girl, a sheltered little girl. I remember visiting relatives finding mildly naughty calendar in the kitchen for instance, or a stack of playboys in the bathroom. I soaked all that information in and filed it away.
I have never been a prude but if they have kids with them, take that stuff down. How much trouble is this anyhow?
I once learned a lesson about bathrooms and quests b/c i had forgotten to remove ( unused ) feminine hygiene products and assorted items related to those intimate moments ( sounding like a commercial). It is my bathroom but NO one but me needs to see that stuff. My quests were very embarrassed and but said nothing. I did figure it out and remove them.
I vote, Take it down, really do you like these folks and they have kids? All those girls except one is UNDER AGE. THINK.
Blimey
I have no idea now!
