We were away with my cousin, her husband and her young kids. Two weeks in Florida. One week in a hotel, one week in a holiday home.

When we got to the air BnB it was very much needed after being crammed in a hotel room. It became very apparent however that the walls were paper thin. We heard everything from the open plan kitchen and diner.

The first time it happened dh and I jokingly said sounds like you had a good night. Just to acknowledge we could hear and give the hint to adjust behaviour. They were mortified. But did they stop? No. It was absolutely ridiculous. It’s not like we could hear screaming just the thud sound as the house was very flimsy even by American standards

AIBU in thinking cousin and her husband were being really inconsiderate. I think they’re trying to conceive baby number 4! I just wouldn’t have carried on if it were me.

I’d be mortified and definitely not do it regardless

A married couple had reasonably quiet sex in the holiday home they paid to sue? Not something I could get upset about. You couldnt have coordinated? Taking each other kids out for a couple of hours to allow each of you some couple time?

Well if they are trying for a baby they need to have sex! If it was just the thud sound and not screaming then I would get over it!
