[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my ILs announced they are coming down to visit for a week. And they plan to stay with us as they usually do. Normally this would be fine, except it is highly likely we will need that week for TTC. (Yes, this is something we have planned and we are committed to starting that month for child spacing reasons.) We have a small house and I am NOT doing the deed with them around. We can't tell them not to come at all because they picked a week my parents are also coming -- except my parents always stay in a hotel, so the TTC thing is not an issue with them. All the parents get along well (we are very lucky, I know) so that is not an excuse.

Help me come up with reasons why they need to stay with DH's (local) brother instead. Reasons that don't involve the truth, obviously. The only one I can think of so far is telling them that with my parents in town also, we just don't want anyone staying with us at night because we need the extra space/alone time. Of course we have hosted both families simultaneously before so that will seem rude/strange, but it's the best I can think of. Help![/quote]

Insist that they stay with you that weekend. You will be blessed with a righteous child![/quote]
