I wasn't trying to throw the "child free card" as a way of disparaging anyone with children. It seemed that most of the women who were saying "hotel sex" have kids and I was thinking that staying in a hotel would be an easy way to be loud and wild without worrying about kids hearing or interrupting. I certainly don't feel sorry for anyone's husbands, I was trying to offer an explanation for why I don't think it is weird.
No kids. Haven't spent two consecutive weeks at home in the past five years. Unlikely to have sex at a wedding since I fall asleep quickly when drunk.
Still wouldn't share a room with IL's. BECAUSE IT IS FUCKING WEIRD. I went to NYC with my mom and MIL 6 years ago. I made my mom and MIL share a suite. I got my own room. It adjoined theirs and it was still too close. Generations simply should not cross. Not like that.

No. We go on vacation with the IL's a lot but we definitely need our own space. Vegas is pretty cheap, no? How much more could it cost for another room?
I have to share a 5br vacation house with my ILs this summer and am not looking forward to it. If my husband even alluded to this idea in my presence my look would kill him.
HELL NO. I don't care if the room is $500/night. No.
Vegas in the summer is practically free because it is an oven.
No. I would consider a swanky suite or condo, but not for a very long stay. I did five days with my parents and husband and one kid and wanted to bash my head against the wall by day 2.

Fuck that shit. I'd rather die.
We won't even spend the night at their house anymore because it's impossible to get any sleep with their middle of the night wake ups to go to the bathroom and watch TV at full volume. Somebody wouldn't make it through the night If we were sharing one standard hotel room.

Yes, we were going to do it in NYC since we are cheap but we shared a one bedroom apt instead. So they had the living room we had the bed. But we slept with the door v open since our room had the only AC.
Anyway it was no big deal. My in laws are not offensive to me in any way.
I really don't understand why it is weird. I wouldn't want to share for an extended vacation because I like my space, but for a night or two it's no problem. Maybe it's regional? lol

We wouldn't do it. I might consider it of it was the only way we could afford to go to BILs wedding but we'd be looking real hard to find the money before making that decision.
NO WAY. And it has nothing to do with getting along/not getting along with my ILs or parents. It's about being able to have space, privacy, and not listening to goddamn snoring.
No way in hell would this ever happen with FIL and his GF, but we have shared a 1 bedroom (2 queens) suite with MIL and little BIL for a wedding in South Lake Tahoe. A family friend slept on the couch. Little SIL stayed in another room with GMIL and Uncle Bob.

Good God, we can't even share a house with them. They came to my hometown for a visit and my mom put them up in her boyfriend (now fiance's) townhouse he never goes to anymore.
I love this gif so much. I pinned it on pinterest with the caption "someone told me I should try some store in the mall..." We're a smaller city with a SHITTY mall. No. No no no.

ILs were surprised when we ( I ) didn't want to share a room for a family wedding in Wichita when we had been married right at a year. Nope no noooooooppppe.
We do everthing we can to get suites when it's just us with the kids.
