What am I doing wrong?

OR!!

instead of you seeing them, they could be seeing you- in your own house!!! they can't saying anything since its your house!!!!!

Here are a few suggestions:

#1 - Agree to never wear the kilt to the in-laws, and at each invite, state that you won't be "comfortable" going to the in-laws and decline to go. Besides, you're too embarrassed after the last visit.

#2 - If your anatomy is able, wear jeans or trousers with a waist a bit too large for you, so that you show a bit of "crack", and then pick up a habit of being a bit clumsy; i.e. "Oops, I dropped my napkin again. Let me just bend over and get that." :butt:

#3 - As was stated before, wear that dang kilt everwhere except the in-laws, and be sure to wear it in every photograph that they'll see, especially Holiday cards!

Seriously, she may be able to control what happens in her house, but don't let her control the rest of the world. Try to be amicable and work out something that everyone will be comfortable with, including YOU! Keep your chin up!

A simple response to this tragedy......
a. Fall to your knees;
b. join hands, palms together;
c. Say "Thank you Lord for this wonderful blessing"
d. Get up.
e. Yell; "Hallelujah! Free at last!"
f. Dance around the house, and swirl them pleats!!!

I have to cry B.S. on your mother-in-law. Anyone exercising the slightest bit of caution whilst sitting kilted can very easily keep things modest. Let's face it, kilts are NOT miniskirts. If you say you are careful about this then you are not going to show anything. This seems to be a case of D-R-A-M-A. I hope it blows over. It's no fun to not get along with family.

I'm sure they wished you were taught how to sit with a skirt

Simple solution. Wear black underwear (only when visiting her, of course!) and if anybody complains again, you will know that they are filthy liars who have no honor and are not to be trusted.

Or, better yet, wear pink pokadot bloomers. You'll definitely hear about it if those are showing!

I thought of that infamous photo of the military officer sitting next to Queen Elizabeth when I read this. From another thread on here, the issue of his genitals showing might have been an urban legend, thanks to someone's ability with Photoshop.

On the other hand, looking at the photo originally published by the newspaper which caused the commotion, it did strike me that one can see a loooong way up the gentlemen's legs.

It wouldn't be hard, therefore, for a person to assume that s/he is seeing something there which they might not be. The mind likes to play tricks like that. Especially for those who are looking for them.

Exactly!

Sounds to me as though you have 2 liars to deal with. The problem is not likely you. The kilt is a very discreet garment compared to the skirts women wear.
