Mothers in law and new houses

[proudestofmums]

Quick question folks - if you had the keys to your new house into which you hadn’t yet moved, would you mind if your DS showed his,parents round without your being there?

PS I’m the MIL - DS assures me DIL would be fine about it

And if my Mil was staying and I was away, should she text me to check it was OK to use the loo, or could dp give her permission?

I think an unflushed poo would be pretty gross in any loo to be honest. If she has OCD I think it's fine for her to polite explain that she'd rather no one goes on her room. I just don't think The average person is that militant about which bodily functions belong in which toilet. Unless I'm having a bath at the time you're welcome to pop in any toilet you want at my house!

Golly, this thread does have a lot of life!! As I say, DIL said she didnt mind my seeing the house without her. And DS 100% puts her first, as he should, and if she had expressed doubts to him he would either not have offered to show us or would have made excuses and withdrawn the suggestion.

Its not a dream house as such, though they love it - it comes with DS’s job so they had no choice about it!

Kind of the MNetters who say they’d like me to be their MIL - but I only have one DS and he’s kinda against bigamy !!-

I had no idea ensuites were sacred territory, you learn something new on MN every day
