I have met a really wonderful guy, and I can't keep my hands off him. We each have teens from previous marriages, is it okay to make out in front of them?

why not..theres nothing wrong with that..your showing how much you love each other...just dont go to far around them..find a more appropriate time for that!if they dont like seeing you two make out im sure they would probably leave the room anyway!

The question is: Is it appropriate to engage in sexual behavior in front of other people? If you wouldn't do it in front of your boss, or your mom, or your neighbor then don't do it in front of your kids. Forging new families is tricky business. When you are with the children then they need to be your focus. Let the admiration and anticipation build when you cannot get your hands on the man. Then find a private place for intimacy. You will be teaching your children discretion. The more discreet you two can be the more room they have to learn to like and respect your man, and vice versa. Don't give his kids grounds to consider you just some chick dad gets off on. Your future happiness is impacted by their reaction to you, too. If you treat their sensibilities with respect then they will respond to you with respect.

Would you like one of your teenagers to make out with their boy/girl friend in front of you??? The fact that you "can't keep your hands off him" even in front of your children not only demonstrates your selfishness and lack of parenting skills but it also begs the question what other bad examples have you set for your kids with your limited impulse control?? The mere suggestion that you would not know the answer to this question shows you have a real problem. Get help.

Only if you're making a major movie.
Seriously, the answer is NO! Making out involves very personal emotions and they should remain just that--personal and private.
Plus it's rude to make people close to you and people around you feel ignored and uncomfortable.
When you and your love are in the presence of your children, they should not be made to feel excluded. It just might be a sure way to alianate them.

Well.... Openly showing affection is healthy for you and family BUT you can take it to far. How would you feel if it was the kids making out with their boy-girl friend in front of the parents? As long as it is "G" rated its probably OK

it depends what you teach your teenagers. if you're cool with your teenagers making out in front of you, go for it. otherwise, wait till you get a bit of privacy.
if you don't want your teenagers to sleep around, i suggest the second option. making out is an indication of sexual love, and if teenagers start experimenting with making out and start making that a habit, sooner or later they'll eventually find that the only thing that can satisfy them is intercourse. of course, they won't do things like that in front of you, but they see your example and follow. so i guess the bottom line comes to what your personal values on the subject is and that you don't encourage them to do things you don't want them to do by setting examples that they ought not to follow.

I think if you make it an issue...
they make it an issue.
Did your parents make out in front of you?
I also think rules of the house have to be equal and fair...they have to apply equally.
If you don't want to watch your teenagers suck face...
maybe it might be a good idea not to have them endure that as well.
You have your own room to go to...
you probably have quiet places to hang out...
enjoy what you have.

Congratulations on finding such a guy! But not a good influence on teenagers; they have no real clue what sex is all about, and they learn by what they see. Do you really want your kids to be doing what you are doing at such an age?

of course not! I have a teenage daughter, and am single. I keep my dating life completely separate.
If you "can't keep your hands off him" in front of your kids.....don't be surprised if they learn from you that self control is not important. You need to be the example of healty adult relations -- lest they end up putting sex before education, etc in their lives!
