How To Maintain Privacy In 1 Bhk Home Living With In-laws

Send your ILS to shopping or movie or make them join some regular classes like yoga or whatever their interest.

 

I was in similar situation but my in laws were there for a short time. Even if it is for short time, it was difficult for me to be myself.

Try a curtain in bedroom door.
Close the door almost and put a stopper in the back of the door.
U can tell them to knock the door once to come in but this I am not sure as they may take it in wrong sense.
If u have a window in bedroom, keep it open and tell them u need to close the door as the wind pushes off the door to close abruptly.
I am sugarcoating here. Just trying not to make them feel offensive.

 

I had same issue for 1yr of my marriage. Now moved to a 2bhk .
Having a door curtain is the best option. You can keep the door open and still you dont have to face their peeking into your room.
My case too had pils clothes and stuff in the bedroom and they kept coming in to take but fil never entered the room when I was inside. Only mil used to come and I still was irritated and felt like a guest in that house n in that room though technically it was given to me and my husband.

After few months they did realise I was uncomfortable and day to day needed things and clothes they had kept in hall n reduced the visiting times to our room. But still I all the time had the feeling like its not my personal room...I couldnt keep it the way I want neither I could be totally free and have total privacy.
The washroom was just outside our bedroom and it was connected to the hall where they slept.
Initial days were worst for us even at nights as we used to have lot of crazy intimacy and had to constantly be conscious of not being heard outside the room and also felt bit embarassed on coming out of room at late night to use washroom... sometimes it was 2 or more times at middle of the night.

You have to bear this no other option. After lot of complaining to my husband shifted to 2bhk but still mil keeps her things in our bedroom.
Sigh.

 

Unless you move to a larger place there is no real solution, sorry.

 

Dear Op,

As suggested by other members, you can put up curtains in your room for avoiding their peeking.

Also you can start asking your Dh or MIL where you should keep your stuffs such as clothes or other articles that way you can start occupying the room and this way you can convey your message without hurting any others feelings.

If your in laws are understanding they will vacate their belongings from your room or they will suggest your Dh for bigger room options.

 

I feel there is solution only if all move to a bigger house, and u and husband use all available space for ur be
Ongoing so only, and make sure that I laws room has decent storage space..

 

Op,do you feel you people can afford to shift to a 2 bedroom house?

If it s self owned,then can you people build another room or divide the living room in such a way that inlaws can have a place for themselves too.

Try looking for multipurpose storage items so that they can keep their stuff there.

If you feel you can afford a bigger place then talk to your husband .
If that doesn't work..?.have loud sex. Seduce him during the day . If they object...tell them it is not your fault,they have raised an irresistable hunk.

Let inlaws ask for a bigger place or let your husband want a bigger place .

 

Loud *** ? Most irresistible hunks turn into chipmunks when Amma is around !

 

He can be the chipmunk.The lady can do a 'sally' all by herself .Say ....just the way he looks at her makes her go crazy.
What is he going to say.....it wasn't me ?
