But who wants to return from a vacation or hospital stay and then immediately have to wash all their sheets in their master bedroom and see someone else's toothpaste stains in their master sinks? Blech.

So ask them to toss their sheets in the washer. Sheesh. People who rely on free childcare can't be such princesses.

I was so waiting for the ubiquitous HILL TO DIE ON comment.

Their comfort trumps yours. Be nice and give them the best room!
You can scoop up your most personal items and stash them in a bag somewhere to preserve your privacy.

I got talked into letting my ILs sleep in our bed on one visit, I was disgusted and repulsed and I still literally shudder when I think about it. Yuck.

How do you feel about sleeping in hotel beds?

Are you always so literal?

I think it makes sense for some houses, not as much for others.
Can we all agree on that?
Totnhe posters who are only weirded out by ‘but we have sex there!’ ...you are odd.

It’s like...did you do it there JUST before ILs arrived? No way. You wash it the day of or the day before if it’s an early departure. I mean they know you have sex. It’s not a big deal.

It seems to me the boundary crossing is the bigger deal - they are going to have access to your children and your entire house when you are not there. Which bed they sleep in seems like small fries.

Master bedroom gets locked so the kids don't get into anything -- it's got private stuff, and you will fully stock the other bathroom.

Master is completely off limits if you have a nice, dedicated guest room. I don't want someone in my bathroom, going through my drawers or anything.

I'm going into labor soon and my guest room is still under construction. No way will I let my inlaws stay in my master bedroom. I don't want to do sheets when I return from giving birth and who knows what mess we'll leave if I go into labor in the middle of the night or something. My parents are watching our other kids though at their house and they have a nice guest room that they've offered to my inlaws. Or there's always a hotel.

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.

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

Ok, then "moot point."

OP does have a guest bedroom. What is the point of talking about what people who don't have guest bedrooms do?
