Late in the afternoon, DH and I offered to grill dinner and the rest of the family went for a boat ride. Well we had a quickie after not seeing each other for 2 months (DH had his own bedroom there and everyone was gone anyway). Thought we cleaned up well and got to grilling. When they came in from the boat, now MIL remarks on how I got sunburned and am already peeling. She says "see right here!" and offers me aloe while picking a piece of her son's dried cum off my shoulder...

Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhhhh

My ILs are not from here and from what I can gather, the notion of a "marital bed(room)" is literally foreign to them so when they visit, they don't knock before entering our bedroom. Our daughter was young and sleeping in our room. When the baby would awake, she'd announce herself, and if I didn't rush to pick the baby up, MIL was promptly walking into our bedroom to take the baby.

When she walked in on me changing for the third time, I screamed "why is this still happening?" and she turned around. I went downstairs, apologized for screaming, and explained that in the mornings, I tend to change my clothes and get dressed for the day, so it's best to knock.

Does your bedroom door not have a lock? And/or why didn't you ask her to knock before entering the first time it happened?

The kids' room adjoins ours. Our room locks, but their's doesn't. So she just used the other door when we locked ours. I did ask her to knock the first time. I had DH reinforce the concept the second time. It's just literally such a foreign concept to my MIL that she wouldn't have 24/7 access to her son's space that it took a bit of a jolt to get her attention on the matter.

I was thinking it was just a MIL boundaries issue until SIL & her husband came to visit. They also did not knock. That really shocked me. My no-blood relation brother-in-law was coming & going without knocking - - - at one point, I was like "um, I have no pants - could we try knocking?"

Instead of moving my undies (brightly colored hanky panky thongs) to the dryer as I usually do, the person carefully hung up each of my thongs on clips and knobs around the laundry room for them to air dry.

When I came and saw my undies on full display, I laughed and went to "thank" my MIL for hanging up my undies. She said with pride, "oh, no! That wasn't me! Your FIL did it!"

Creepy

How about when I met FIL and MIL for the first time and MIL repeatedly asked me what language I spoke, whether I spoke Hindi, what language my parents spoke, what language did we speak in the house, etc. By the way, I was talking to her in english.

How about at our engagement ceremony hosted by future IL's where MIL physically dragged me around their house telling me to touch her friends' dirty feet.

Or was it the time that FIL was dying of cancer and MIL looked at DH and said in front of me "when are you moving DIL in so she can start taking care of FIL?" I was studying for the bar exam at the time, DH was living in his own condo, I was living in my own condo, and future 40-something SIL had decided this was the perfect time to move out of FIL and MIL's house into her boyfriend's house.

Hahahahahahahaha I'm crying!!

Mine likes to talk about ailments and bodily functions. Recently, she told me about her bathing routine. Totally unrelated to the conversation we were having. She also has told me about a yeast infection in a food of skin (I'm queasy thinking about it). Whenever she's visiting, she announces every bowel movement. It's disgusting. We can't figure out why she is like this, and DH has had some firm conversations about it, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

MIL walked in on me giving my DH a handjob. I think I've mentioned this story on her before.
Anyway,It happened shortly after DH and I married and we were living with his parents, while we saved money and prepared to move overseas for grad school.

She hasn't adjusted to the fact her baby boy was all grown up and a married man, and among other things had a habit of walking into our room ( his old room) unannounced. Ignoring our requests to at least knock.

Well one Sunday we had the house to ourselves as my in-laws attend church and we don't ( another sore point for MIL at the time), DH and I were enjoying each other's company, we didn't realize in laws had returned home, and like she had done so many times before waltzed into our room unannounced.

She got an eyeful. Slammed the door shut. She got into a tizzy. Things were said. Argument ensued.

She also never forgot to knock from that point on. Now we're in our own home she's sure to call in advanced before visiting, and when they stay with us she's always makes her presence known before entering any rooms.

When we told my in-laws that I was pregnant, FIL looked like he was trying to figure something out and then announced that we must have concieved during their last visit. When they stayed with us in our small apartment.
