“I don’t want them sleeping with me only because I don’t get adequate husband-and-wife time,” the mother of two, 40, tells host Carissa Culiner. (She shares daughterAriah Talea, 3, and sonAden John Tanner, 6, with Housley.)
“When they’re in your bed, it’s like sleeping with a drunk octopus — that’s the best way of describing it. You’ll wake up with a toe in your nose and you’re like, ‘Damn it!’ ” addsThe Realco-host. “I’m trying to get them out of our bed throughout the entire night.”

Asked whether she’d ever thought of locking their bedroom door, Mowry-Housley shares that her husband’s not a fan of that idea. “My husband would not let me do it,” she explains. “There’s always gonna be one in the family.”
“I’m like, ‘Dude, let’s just lock the door. He’ll be fine,we have a camera, we’ll be ableto see everything,’ ” the actress adds. “But I let Adam have his way and our son is still in our bed.”
However, there is one motivating factor that can change Housley’s mind: sex.
“That always works, though!” Mowry-Housley exclaims. “At one point, I was like, ‘Dude, you’re not getting any. If you want sex,I at least got to have four to six hourswith you in bed. I’m tired of doing it on the floor in the closet.’ ”
