Of course you don't see the big deal, you don't own a house or have a husband you sleep & have sex with every night. To personal to share.

Oh my, such 1st world sensibilities.

If you have a quest room with a Queen then thats where they should sleep. I am shuddering thinking about my IL's sleeping in my bed.

If you didnt have a guest room Then they should have your bed.

Very strange if you have a guest room. Lock the door.

I wouldn’t care where they sleep, especially since they’re doing such a big favor by watching the kids.

Caveat: my MIL sleeps in our bed when she visits and DH and I sleep on the sleeper sofa in the living room since we just have a two bedroom and there’s no room in the nursery. So clearly my boundaries are different than most of the PPs.

They should sleep in the guest room, without question.

Sometimes we let the grandparents sleep in our bedroom when we travel and they watch the kids, but that's because our master is on the same level as the kids' rooms (as opposed to the guest room, which is downstairs) and they want to be close in case a child wets the bed and has a nightmare and comes looking for help.

If the guest room is also closer to the kids' room, this makes their sleeping in the guest room even more of a no-brainer.

Guest room., no question.

If the guest room is on same floor as kids rooms, they stay in the guest room. They can use the master bath.

I would think sleeping in the master was weird but it wouldn’t be the hill I would die on.

If you did not have a guest bedroom, where would they sleep? I know many couples who have their guests (parents and the like) sleep in their bed and they take the murphy bed or blow up bed on the floor when guests comes.

Moot question. There is a guest room, with a comfortable queen-size bed.

When I was single, I always gave my parents my bed when they visited. Now that I’m married it feels weirder to me, especially after we once had my ILs use our room. In the bathroom all our private things are there - medications, menstrual supplies, birth control... if there is a guest room with bath - they should stay there. But given these ILs cross boundaries regularly, be prepared to find out they used your room regardless of what you tell them. For the spouse who is bothered, you’ll probably have to deal or find other childcare next time.

I don't think you know what that phrase means.

How good is the mattress in your master compared to the mattress in your guest room?
