Caught in the act . Mortified.

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.

OP, we're all imagining allsorts now. Ha Ha Ha.

GrannyOnTheSchoolRun · 04/08/2014 21:42

And tell your DH to stop fighting your corner and to save his strength for round two ;)

I thought I had read it all on MN ... and then I read, 'start enjoying the company of your granddaughter instead of a penis'. Special.

CalamitouslyWrong · 04/08/2014 21:46

Are you the DIL, unlikelyAmazonian?

SickOfAnts · 04/08/2014 21:46

I'm surprised by AA's post, she's usually a lovely poster.

SickOfAnts · 04/08/2014 21:48

That's the result of almost half a bottle of Gordon's.

I'm not to be trusted with the charge of a baby evidently.

OP you had your ears covered, It all becomes clear.

You may be right.

Tell them to wind their necks in. DGD was in no danger - embarrassment has manifested as anger, but it's baseless.
Besides which, although nobody counting, they owe you a lot for the way you've supported them before DGD's arrival & since.

SickOfAnts · 04/08/2014 21:50

Off to have dinner.
Thankyou all. xx

Sickofants - I have been in a very similar position to your DIL. I went to pick my kids up from my mum to find them having a nap upstairs and her and dad getting frisky in the kitchen. I didn't see what but there was lots of frantic whispering, some red faces and lots of embarrassment!

I can honestly say it never occurred to me to be annoyed. My children were comfortable and well looked after. So what if they didn't have 100% of her attention 100% of the time? They don't get that at home either!

Tell them to get over themselves. Stop apologising!

And I wish you many more lunch time lovefests

CalamitouslyWrong · 04/08/2014 21:52

How exactly does one enjoy the company of a sleeping baby? You can only enjoy the company of people while they're conscious.

OP step away from the gin, you'll feel shocking in the morning.

Canshopwillshop · 04/08/2014 21:53

Sickofants - you did nothing wrong! Baby was asleep and safe. DIL completely out of order.
The enjoy your granddaughter instead of a penis poster = jealous weirdo.

FlossyMoo · 04/08/2014 21:53

start enjoying the company of your gd instead of a penis.

A sleeping baby is as boring as un buttered toast.

Penis's....Peni??? Are way more fun and besides sex doesn't always have to have a penis in it you Victorian UnlikleyShock

GrannyOnTheSchoolRun · 04/08/2014 21:54

I can well imagine the warm and cosy and all loved up felting that arose from having the wee one in the house. Granny and grandad were happy and showed each other so

The Barney dong once had the same affect on us.

CalamitouslyWrong · 04/08/2014 21:54

UnlikelyAmazionian us not right, OP. You just feel embarrassed and have a totally misplaced sense of guilt.

UnlikelyAmazonian · 04/08/2014 21:55

I just don't see why the massive urge to shag had to take precedence over having your GD for a few hours.

A week is totally different obviously.

It was a few hours and your DIL turned up early to pick her daughter up...

Why would you put yourselves first like that?

I think a lot of posters wouldn't be so gung-ho about finding their in-laws fucking if they came to pick their kids up of an afternoon.

You don't sound mortified at all - you sound like you are gagging for the sort of posts backing you up, that you are getting.

And I am lovely!!

Yambabe · 04/08/2014 21:55

Oh wait, I've sussed the cause here

You took DGC today to give them some time alone right?

DIL came over for her 2 hours early. Your DS couldn't get it up and they have had a row. Then she went home and said "well your mum and dad don't have any problem....."

FrontForward · 04/08/2014 21:56

Personally I think she is jealous of your sex life I am

LineRunner · 04/08/2014 21:57

Ah no penis involved.

magoria · 04/08/2014 21:58

UA it didn't take precedence over GD as she was asleep. The DIL had to wake her to take her home. It did not affect GD or their attention towards her in the slightest.

Plus OP has given up work to look after GD so her DS and DIL can concentrate on their studies. They don't just have her a few hours.
