Just to show how much you can do with kids around:

When my ex-slave Taffi first moved in, my 6yo was going through a bad patch where he could only sleep in my bed. Taffi slept in a blanket on the floor and told him it was because she had a bad back.

After a few weeks, once I'd seen how things fitted in with the kid's sleep habits, I started putting a collar and chain on Taffi (with a breakaway fastening that she could rip loose in an emergency) once the kid was asleep, and taking it off and tucking it under the bed before he stirred in the morning. She was chained up every night for months and he never knew.
