A controversial child-raising question

Larry:
I was looking through the online magazine slate.com and noticed an interesting letter to slate's advice columnist:


--- Quote --- Over the weekend my husband and I hosted my stepdaughter's 10th birthday sleepover. I got up in the middle of the night to check on the girls, and they were all asleep. My husband woke up when I climbed back into bed, he kissed me, and we began to make love. In the middle of the act, the bedroom door swung open and one of my stepdaughter's friends caught us in flagrante. We quickly clothed ourselves and tried to play the situation off as if we hadn't been having sex. My stepdaughter's friend went along with it, and we helped her get the glass of water she wanted. The next morning, after all the girls went home, this girl's mom called me. She yelled at me for being irresponsible and exposing her daughter to sex. She said she should have been called right away so she could choose how to handle things. She even threatened to call the other sleepover attendees' parents and tell them about my husband and me having sex. Were we really so wrong to make love during a sleepover? And what's the best way to minimize this fallout?

I will post the advice columnist's response to this inquiry a short time later today. I didn't post it now because I didn't want to prejudice anyone's responses.

The question occurred to me what are the range of commonly-held opinions of FSUW on this subject.  What are your thoughts?  I posted this in the "Ask a Russian Lady" room, but I would appreciate responses from anyone, especially those who have some exposure to FSUW's opinions on this sort of topic.  Every once in a while I see a post here that contains some thoughts about how FSUW view certain aspects of raising children and I find the topic very interesting.

10th birthday?! Are they kidding?
At this age children should have learned to knock at the bedroom door before coming in.

Slumba:
I would think that a quick turn or press of the lock on the door would have solved it.  Although, surely the 10yo's hearing is not impaired? 

NS1:
my bedroom door has a lock, so no problem, regardless of age ;D ;D
