Every time we stay with my mother-in-law she invariably ends up parading about starkers at some point.. now you can't exactly call me a prude but she's got a bush bigger than Sherwood Forest and the nudity is just getting ridiculous.

The other day DD and I had just finished our coco pops when granny proceeded to just get her kit off there and then to put something else on out of the dryer- sorry but we were eating breakfast! then she sits there with her enormous norks hanging out of her dressing gown at lunch (she still hadn't got changed by this point)

To top it all off she had a poo whilst talking to me from the toilet.. I even heard the plop.

It's just getting ridiculous - and I really want to just tell her to put some God damn clothes on as no one wants to see her naked - but she's my mother-in-law so I need to tread carefully - anyone got any suggestions?!

Oh dear Smeegle rofl smirk smirk, yes tell her to trim her bush. My friends mum used to do this a lot, used to sleep over and at times found her mum wandering round the house in the buff. My friends boyfriend came by and she was sunbathing in the buff he caught sight of him and was ot embarrassed one bit.

Oh no, that sounds so awful, talk about no having any boundaries. YANBU....my dad used to walk about only in his boxers and I found that a bit uncomfortable. It's about the context of it.

If you think that's bad, try this one on for size...

DH and I had only been married a year when my parents took us sailing for two weeks... very nice of them... lovely time had by all... including poor DH who was greeted to:

Totally Naked DW (hopefully an edifying sight for the lovely DH)
Totally Naked MIL (maybe slightly less edifying....)
Totally Naked Step-FIL (this one perhaps even barf-inducing?)

Every time we set sail from port....

So, a daily dose of Granny Bush for the DH, then!

BUT, we did get a free holiday out of it....

like IveStillGotIt, I would ask (with a serious face), so when is the gardner going to make it over to trim up the bush. Then let her ask what you are talking about. At that point, use your spoon that your try to each with and just point in that direct. LOL! Just say, seriously, it needs attention and a bathrobe over the hounds (the breast) would REALLY help the breakfast stay down.
