      My mother in law stays with us and also SLEEPS WITH US IN THE SAME ROOM!


      Told my DW I was not too comfortable with her sleeping in the same room however she feels its nothing wrong.

      I mean I just dont feel comfortable sleeping with someone else, kids ok, but not MIL rite?

      Perhaps any gals out there can tell me how they feel? Its it ok? As in am I being unreasonable?

      I cant imagine to have my inlaw or my parent to sleep in the same room with me and DH. Unless if theres a special situation, maybe feel unwell or so.......even it is my own mum coz i can imagine the scenerio. its odd, isnt it? kids is ok when they are junior. Maybe your spouse is very close to her mum...........

      i can fully understand why you feel uncomfortable to have someone else in the same bedroom.

      I share the same feeling as you. I am totally ok with my kids, but not parents or PIL.

      Its like I wanna sleep in some unglam position or what also cannot...

        DW wants her mum to stay over, what can I say rite?[/quote]

        Stay over and staying in the same room is 2 different things. Did you talk to your wife about it? What’s her view? Solve it as soon as possible as it is very bad in a long run.

          If your MIL is only here to stay for a few days, then you sleep with the kids lah! So weird to sleep with wife and MIL. Think your wife wanna sleep with her mommy to reminisce her childhood. You give them some time together lor…

                  Oh, my mom also moved over for one month to help me when my son was born as we didn't get a confinement lady. She slept with me and the baby while my hubby slept in another room. If you dun haf another room, you move a mattress to the living room lor. If your MIL is permanently moving over, then I suggest you get MIL to sleep with the kids. Seriously, you need to speak with your wife since this is a long term thing. I am sure she will understand. I am sure she won't want YOUR mom to sleep in the room with the two of u! :evil:

                    Its like I wanna sleep in some unglam position or what also cannot...[/quote]ya i totally agreed with the rest that you need to talk to your DW that you are not ok to sleep same room with ur MIL. I feel that bedroom to me is the place where i unwind and relax for the day, i want to be \"myself\" in my own bedroom. I dun want to worry about my sleeping posture or so..........while i relax and sleep well. if you have a guestroom, maybe u can sleep there when u are ready to sleep if ur dw insist that her mum shld sleep with her. My dh also sleep in another room while me and my DD sleep together, he spent time with us in the bedroom but retreat to the guestroom when he is ready to sleep liao. Its ok with us.

                    you should try to let dw know how you feel.......

                        Don't understand why MIL is allowed any preference where she want to sleep in your house at all.. :?
                        I am an only child and still living with my mum... Very close to her but no such issues..
