Welcome back internet enthusiasts and Reddit addicts. When you have children, there's a lot you're not in control of. You're subjecting them to the harsh and unwholesome realities of the world, whether you're there or not, people will be people. 

Though you can't control other people, you can at least try to control how much your kids are exposed to. Albeit a solid idea, it doesn't always work. Your kids are bound to see things they weren't supposed to, and honestly, what can you do other than shrug your shoulders. Anyway, these days kids see far more on technological devices than they will in person. 

But even with these conditions, does it mean it's okay to act however you want in front of children? Where's the line? Is it in public at all? How close they are to you? What you're doing with someone else? Well, wherever the line is it probably depends on the parents. Too bad you can't tell strangers what they can and can't do.

    Admittedly, neither I [41M] nor my wife [39F] thought I was the for this, though after telling our family members about this, they largely disagreed, so I would like a more objective opinion.

    Very recently, my wife and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. We adore each other and love to celebrate these sorts of things, so we had a very nice vacation planned to celebrate (and frankly,
