My MIL keeps asking if we have had sex 🤢

[Tink2007]

Literally as in the title. I’m due our baby soon and she has asked three times in the last week if husband (her son) and I have had sex yet.

Now personally it creeps me out being asked that and makes sex the last thing I want to do and husband has told her it’s weird her asking to which she just laughed and said “you’re my son”. She has asked again today and it is just weirding me out.

She never asked with any of our other children 🤢

'We were going to, but as soon as the thought of telling you about it afterwards crossed our minds, my fanjo sealed itself so tightly it now resembles a packet of streaky bacon and DH's knob retreated so far inside his body that we're going to need a head torch and sink plunger to ever get it back out again. Thanks for asking, though'.

[ktp100]

Just say ' That's none of your business, please don't ever ask about it again'.

If she ever does ask again just put the phone down on her/leave/ask her to leave.

She's massively over stepping boundaries and you don't have to put up with it.

[JosephineDeBeauharnais]

You could confuse her by saying “why would we have sex when there’s no need - I’m already pregnant?”

[Serin]

I was wondering if she maybe had a neurological condition as some of them can make people disinhibited, but I see that she is asking because she thinks it will induce labour.
God.
She is off her head isnt she.
Who says that to their DIL?

I think I would just very firmly say "dont ever ask that again, I am not ever going you discuss our sex life with you".

[MrsKeats]

What does she mean by 'yet' as she well?
Does she think you've had an immaculate conception or something?

[Sheknowsaboutme]

I would say yes and make up a great story about how well hung he is, how long it lasted for blah blah...

[Felifox]

Tell her you've not heard of this to speed up going into labour and ask her to explain to dh the best way to achieve it based on her experience.

Well if you didn't practise it yourself then how would you know.😭 Record her reply and perhaps the fits of laughter you'll be having will encourage baby to get shifting and join in the fun .Good luck with your little one 🐣

@iklboo lol!

[sadie9]

What age is she? If she is over 75 then there is a chance it is dementia. People often start showing personality changes 10yrs before it becomes really obvious. Their social filter disappears.
One is that they are more frank than they would have been, less of a social filter. Other subtle changes would be changes to their daily routine or denying that they do something they have done for years.

This has got me absolutely howling; if this doesn’t make anything start NOTHING will.

My MIL and I don’t have a great relationship and tbh honest, it’s not even something I would bring up with my own mum. It’s not like a family activity, is it?

“Oh, have a look at these pictures of DH getting things started.”

[ChristmasFluff]

I'd go for a Miranda-type stare-and-point at her whilst saying 'massively inappropriate!', every time she said it.

Does she mean that sex will make the baby come out faster?

[MrSnowmansCarrotStickNose]

Just look her straight in the eye and say "no, me and dh have NEVER done that"

[InFiveMins]

How can she ask if you've had sex yet if you're pregnant with his child?

Sounds like she might have dementia?

[InFiveMins]

Or does she mean since you've been pregnant? I'm confused. Surely she must know you've had sex to conceive a child!?

[1Morewineplease]

I have to say that ‘dementia’ sprang to mind.
It might be early days but overt sexual references are often an indicator as the person who makes these overtures have lost their social guard .

[Blackbear19]

I think she's meaning sex can induce labour, rather than sex to get pregnant however it's still not something you ask your DS never mind DIL. Given its Ops 3rd baby and it's not a question MIL has asked before it really does make you wonder about MILs MH.

Op I really do think you should comment that you are worried about her MH if she thinks that is an appropriate question.

[OhYeahYouSuck]

I'd say something pretty rude in reply tbh. That's just not appropriate at all!

[Tink2007]

Sorry, yes. I should have said in the OP that she means to induce labour - not have we ever had sex.

[LakieLady]

I'd say "yes, in fact just before you arrived we had it on the sofa right where you are sitting

And then add "That skirt is washable, isn't it?"

Don't be ridiculous. This really isn't hard to understand.

She is asking if they have had sex as it is widely believed that doing this will induce labour.

She hasn't got fucking dementia - she is just being inappropriately intrusive.

[Nottherealslimshady]

I can actually imagine MIL asking this. Sometimes conversations stray to inappropriate (mostly racism and homophobia) I pull a disgusted face and say "you really cant say that" then move the conversation on to something else. I would just ignore the text tbh.

[Sheknowsaboutme]

Dementia?! For fucks sake🙄

[ChickenFriedFudge]

OMG THERES TWO OF THEM??

Maybe they're the two percent who've said YABU

[Funguy]

Is she perhaps from another culture? Or planet?
