Gentle excuses for why ILs cannot stay with us a particular weekend (they usually do)

I agree with the other PP's suggestion to send the grandparents out with your DC for lunch/dinner/playground. That is how we conceived our DD -- my in-laws were in town when we were TTC, so we suggested that they take our DS out to play for a little while.

Just be quiet. It'll be exciting and a good story when you conceive hahah

If your DH tells his parents "everything", why can't he tell them this?

But probably best is telling BIL, and asking that he help now and then with getting the parents out of the house (or hosting them himself.) It's DH's brother, right? He should be doing this, not you.

If they're dying for another grandbaby, tell 'em! They'll stay at BIL's or a hotel and maybe they'll even keep your DC for you so you can get some quality alone time.

Seriously? You must be the biggest prude I've ever met or you have some seriously loud sex. Shower? Wait for them to go for a walk? Music?

I think I am going to show this thread to my DH next time he complains I am high-maintenance.
