There are certain things that are awkward to talk about with your in-laws, and intimacy in the bedroom is probably right up there for most couples.

What would you do if you mother-in-law kept pestering you about giving her grandkids and got a little too personal with her advice?

Would you let her talk or shut her down?

Let’s see how the couple in this story handles this situation.

AITAH for telling my mom that we’ll have a baby when ready?

My wife is 26 and I’m 27, we’ve been married for almost two years now and it’s been amazing.

But lately, we’re off our rhythm…not motivated for intimacy, arguing over stupid stuff for no reason, but we still have our romantic moments.

We went to my parents house for dinner and my brothers came as well. During the dinner, my mom asked why we don’t have kids yet.

And I said “When god gives us a baby we’ll have one.”

Talk about an awkward conversation with the parents!

My mom then said to my wife how to make sure she pleases me in the bedroom and my brothers just starts laughing.

My wife said “I’m sure I know what I’m doing.”

And my mom said “Obviously, not if you’re not pregnant.”

Then my mom started saying stuff, my wife then touched my leg and that’s how I knew she felt uncomfortable.

He shut his mom down.

And I said “‘Mom, we’ll have a baby when we’re ready.”

She tried to keep talking but I said “No. A baby will come when we’re ready”.

My brother punched my arm because they said I was disrespectful to my mom.

His wife was really upset.

Now that we’re home my wife has expressed she feels worse than before when my mom kept asking for grandchildren and she said she wasn’t ready.

She cried, saying she felt pressured by her when it came to intimacy, pregnancy, and children.

I felt like it was my job to make sure my mom didn’t continue to do this and if that meant to cut her off so be it.

I feel like she was disrespecting my wife after she was talking about private things. AITAH?

He sounds like a good husband to stand up for his wife and choose her over his mom.

That’s what he should do.

His mom needs to mind her own business if she wants to ever see her future grandchildren.

Let’s read the whole story.

This person would go no contact with her MIL if she said anything like that.

Her mom was very inappropriate.

This person thinks he needed to stand up for his wife sooner.

He really should’ve shut his mom down right away.

His mom clearly needs to mind her own business.

Yikes.
