Oh geez, I can't believe some of the things I'm reading here. Mom is a married woman who enjoys fun and games with her husband, obviously someone she feels safe enough with that she would send these pics to him. Most people can only hope to find someone that they can play this kind of game with. She did NOTHING WRONG. Maybe not the safest thing to do in the name of keeping it private, but she did NOTHING WRONG. Husband should have deleted the pics before laying it down where the kids could pick it up.
And as for the hysterical 16 yr old. You AND husband TOGETHER tell her to cut the hysterics, and explain loving married couples do things like this. They're not a couple of teenagers being stupid. If they want to send pics/sext, that's their privilege. It helps to keep the spice in the marriage, and continously reinforces their bond to each other. And she better damn well hope that she is lucky enough to have a marriage as great as theirs.
And as for the 14 yr old, you tell her to keep her hands off and nose out of other people's property and business. She had no right to tell the 16 yr old about it. I do think the 16 yr old should be dealt with for calling you whatever name she called you. Have dad do that. He needs to tell her that he WILL NOT tolerate that kind of disrespect to his wife. Not her mother, HIS WIFE.
MOMMY... do it again, I say! Only tell husband to delete it.

I agree steel and by god I will. he enjoys it and so do I and will not let this devestate me. Maybe they will think twice before snooping in my things again.
I just realized I haven't corrected you all that this is their step-dad.
That might put a little bit of a different spin on the kids reactions. Kids can be protective and jealous on behalf of a biological parent. Your daughters first gut reaction might have been a feeling that you were "cheating" on her dad. Emotions get funny like that sometimes.
Still it doesn't change the fact that they were snooping where they had no right too.
It doesn't change the fact that you are an adult in an adult relationship and what you did was not wrong.
Like someone mentioned kids have a tough time realizing their parents are sexual beings.
Good luck with the talk, I'm betting that once your daughter gets over the initial shock and embarrassment it'll eventually work out.
Your daughters are at a particular emotional growth time in their life. I think you should consider this and not take this time to cause a gulf between them and yourself. You are their mom. Remember this. They do not have a say in your love life. They are along for the ride. I have seen a few other post you have made and I will say that you are very open about things. Maybe you can bring it down a bit and acknowledge that you are embarrassed if you are and use this as a moment to show your girls the result of an action. We only get one time to raise our children. There are no do overs.
Just think about it. Good luck.
Lord have mercy. so if I have a drink as a 35 year old I better be ok with them drinking to? I am an ADULT. A married ADULT. THEY are not.
These are the things that prepare you for the Empty Nest Syndrome. It's always a big sigh of relief when the last kid goes off to college and a whole new kid free world opens.
I always thought it ironic that as a teenage you had to hide things from your parents, then as a parent you had to hide things from your teens.

What a stupid response! Blame it all on the kids and they don't have the right to feel the way they do when they come across something as inappropriate as this.
I feel like the kids probably have more common sense than their parents, and you wonder why kids are so ****ed up these days! Most parents in this country are freaking idiots with no common sense.
