Here, here, Karin.  I agree with you.

She also has the right to have wild sex (maybe in the bedroom, though) when
the child IS with her and is asleep in bed, etc.  Gee, do people totally
give up "the act" once a child is born?  Where do those other kids come
from?

Technically, you are correct.  But this being Pine Valley, this was a real
dumb move.  Also, everyone is saying it was the middle of the night, but
I think it was just late evening.  Anyway, considering the distinct possiblity
of photographers, etc., it was quite imprudent for Brian to go to the door.
I think they should have ignored the door completely, but that's just me.

Thank you for pointing this out!  I have never heard him bring it up ... it
is always someone else.  So he enjoys sex ... is that something bizarre?
He is going to PVU [or so they say :-)] ... he's not a little kid.

True.  For Adam to sue for FULL custody [I'll bet Dix won't even get 
visitation rights] is just absurd!  He claims she is completely unfit as
a mother.  But I think he will win custody ... for a while.
