Caught in the act . Mortified.

[SickOfAnts]

Have once again turned to MN as in RL there is only DH to talk to.

The barebones of the story are that DH and I were caught in the act yesterday by our DDIL and the ramifications seem to be totally over the top.

We've had a stressful couple of years. Our relationship was put into question over an event which happened nearly 30 years ago, was a horrid time and still now it is in the background.

Last year our DS1 announced that his girlfriend was pregnant, they're both students in pretty full on studies. We supported them 100% and i gave up work to look after our beautiful GD.

Yesterday we looked after our GD, DS and DDIL are on holiday from uni but we offered to give them a break.
DH came home for lunch and we fawned over DGD for a while and then put her down for her siesta.
One thing led to another (consenting adults in their 50's) and to cut a long story short DDIL arrived (very quietly) and caught us in a compromising position.

Mortification is not the word.

She went into the kitchen and DH spoke to her/apologised.
She was all kinds of embarrassed.
She woke up DGD and went home.

Since then all hell has broken loose. DS can't trust us to look after DGD, if we can't hear DDIL coming in then how could we hear a baby crying?

I could die. I feel dreadful.

DH has pulled rank and has basically told DS to just drop it.

I feel sick.

Thankyou for reading this far. I know this is a total non story but it's very upsetting and embarrassing for me and i needed to share.

@ Bogeyface.

Bogeyface wins the internet!

Brilliant

Maybe it's not that complicated. :) I find it odd that 20 something would be that naive about his/her parents! At that age it was my PIL that found it odd DH and I would have sex!

Love your menu, Bogey!

My childminder used to go for a shit sometimes.

I wouldn't have wanted to see it, but I didn't begrudge her the pleasure.*

Funniest post I have EVER read on MN, and ive been here bloody years!

BoiledPiss Bodily functions are obviously your thing

Aithankyoooo!

Its the bottle of Arse that kills me :o

My sister bought a bottle of Knackers back from .... somewhere, maybe Greece, that are revolting. Cant find a pic on the internet but they are massive hot dogs sausages that have split in the bottle (she bought them years ago) and now look like diseased penises (peni?!).

Oh and OP, dont forget to nicely decorate your wine glasses

Thankyou for the menu ideas!
I was thinking more along the lines of tomato tart and salad but will admit that it's lacking in innuendo material.

DSis is here with her 2 DGC.

She's on form as is her DH who i had the pleasure of speaking to and who is taking enormous delight in this.

We have always been the responsible, dependable and frankly boring couple in the family.
Siblings have on the whole leapt from crisis to crisis while we have (maybe smugly) plodded along.

Best get off now and tend to my guests.

Thanks again for listening.

cherry!

Before i go, examples of the ribbing i shall now endure for the foreseeable;
DSis grandson "auntie can we go to the river?"
DSis "better check uncle hasnt got anything else planned for auntie"

DBIL "SickOf , please promise to control yourselves around my grandchildren"

Even DH has made the occasional quip or two.

Evidently only me who finds little humour in this.
At least i'm playing along with their jokes.

I seriously need to lighten up.

I think perhaps your sense of humour failure is because of your sons reaction, if he had laughed it off then I am sure you would be able to aswell. You'll get there :)

As for your menu, make a big thing out of the TART and perhaps make an interesting centre piece with a cucumber and you should ok innuendo-wise :o

In fact, 2 Plum Tomatoes and a cucumber would be better

You do - It is definitely something you will look back on and laugh about (I know you posted you didn't think so). I know if me and DP had been in the same situation we would be in stitches and probably be ribbing DS & DDIL for months to come........

ooh stick a pube between your two front teeth and grin widely when they turn up.

I can't wait until I am in my 50s, I am not yet 40 and can honestly say other than on hols have only had sex once at lunchtime in the last ten years I think.

OP, if you're not finding it funny then why have you invited your sister and told the whole family? If you don't like them joking about it, don't 'lighten up' just tell them it's upsetting for you and ask them to stop.

If they carry this on through dinner, yes your son and DIL may see the funny side but you run the risk of upsetting them even more if they see that their shock and distress has become a source of hilarity for everyone. I'd be careful joking about it around them - whether justified or not, they are embarrassed and angry about what happened and I would be concerned that it becoming a great family joke only 24 hours later may entrench them more firmly in their opinions about it.

Am I the only one pervy enough to want all the gory details here? Location, position, state of undress? Come on OP, give us the full debrief (ha).

Did I really read a ref to 69 a few pages back? Really??? I mean, good for you, but your poor DIL. Nobody wants to see that.

Not at all, toffee.

I've been playing the logistics in my head.

I wonder if there's a thread on IABU about what PILs get up to while in care of children...

I have loved this thread. Poor you OP and poor DDil really - that's not something you want to see your in laws up to I cannot see what problem UA and some others have with the situation . What would be acceptable while your DGD was sleeping? Getting something from the car, popping out to the garden, playing loud music, hoovering? All of which might mean you wouldn't have heard her crying for a few minutes. Is it just the fact that you had the temerity to "do it" during the day, out of the confines of the bedroom? Are you supposed to just sit quietly outside your sleeping DGD's room and wait for her to stir from her slumber?! Honestly, you've done nothing wrong and I'm sure after a few glasses of vino everything will blow over (fnar, fnar, couldn't resist ) do update on the dinner

But Jelly the sister isnt laughing at the son and DIL distress, they are laughing at the situation the OP and her DH were caught in, which is funny, I'm sorry but it is.

Like the time I was caught in my BFs car going at it by a policeman, I made the mistake of telling my best friend and she has never let me forget it. It was mortifying, I still cringe when I think about it but I accept that it is a funny story.

and as I said above, I suspect the sons reaction is more to do with the fact that his parents were doing anything at all (never mind the fact that it wasnt just vanilla man-on-top) and is using the fact that they were babysitting as an excuse to vent and cover his embarrassment that his parents have dared to have sex.

Well, DSis can hardly contain herself.
She's gone to see a friend and has graciously left us in charge of DGCs.

I haven't told the whole family, that would be unthinkable.
I have told my DSis and x amount of MNers.
My DS has told his younger brother judging by his comment last night.

This is making a mountain out of a molehill and it is my own fault for feeling so terribly humiliated over the whole thing.

Poor poor DDIL should never have seen what she did and i hope we can get over this but i have the awful feeling that things will never be the same again.

This whole thing is so far removed from the persona i portray, it's (almost) laughable.

A little perspective, things could be worse, at least we didn't get her ears pierced and feed her Greggs sausage rolls and Fruitshoots!

What did she she OP? I NEED to know. Come on, tell us!

I once walked in on my parents having sex. It was missionary and from the back so I didn't see much. I was obviously mortified, but we never mentioned it and it was soon forgotten. I rarely think of it.

They are being ridiculous. Don't be apologetic.

How has your son been?
