Staying with daughter problem

15 replies

MummyMollie · 11/04/2023 11:27

Me and my partner have moved in with my daughter (25) who is renting a house . It’s only temporary until some building work is finished at my house.

She’s been very welcoming and it’s been fun to live with her again except one problem… every now and then she’s been either inviting round or coming back with boys who she’s been having sex with. I know it’s not my house and she can do what she likes but it’s not massively enjoyable being woken up at 3am by your own daughters sex noises.

Should I bring it up or is it none of my business?

Let her know you can hear her, maybe she can play some music to mask out the sound? So you're coming at it from the 'don't want to hear you' angle rather than a 'don't want you doing that' angle.

Or you could set up some white noise in your room and just bypass the whole conversation....

Don't say anything. Its sex, so what.

Opentooffers · 11/04/2023 11:48

How long have you been there and how long have you got to go? You say it's now and then, which implies that you have been there quite some time. Perhaps rent somewhere if its going to be a long time rather that a week or 2.

She's 25 and it's her home. You need to either laugh it off (maybe she would be embarrassed that you hear) or you buy some earplugs. I don't think it's up to you to dictate, bit surprised you refer to the men as 'boys' though, maybe she's still a child in your head

Lump it or go back to yr own home.

Wear Earplugs. At the end of the day it is her house. You could ask her does you/your partners snoring bother her and comment that you are worried that she will be bothered by it since the walls are so thin but I suspect she is probably aware.

Get headphones or move elsewhere.

So many of these threads about daughters having sex. I always think the posters are hairy handed wankers.

Spottycarousel · 11/04/2023 14:27

I'd make a big thing about visiting the bathroom after being woken up so she knew I had heard her!

That's me though. I wouldn't have a conversation about it, she would probably feel embarrassed, and at the end of the day it's her home.

Just say “good night last night was it?” with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face.

Bang on the wall and kill the moment.

Or just have really noisy sex with your partner at the same time.
