| just hosted 2 generations of ILs in a new house. the younger generation felt it necessary to tell me what was needed in their BA. not soap, shampoo, towels, etc, but very detailed requests. why not just say TY for the stay and let it go. |

All right Aunt Barbara I know our house has become your pet project but we're putting renovations on hold for now. I'm really happy with our house right now and and it stresses me out when you bring it up."
Next time "oh oops aunt Barbara? Did you forget? I'll let you know when I'm ready to brainstorm with you." (Not that you'll brainstorm with them.) I do this with my mom. |

These people are obviously close family to visit so frequently. It is probably in laws or parents. It is their job to criticize.
My MIL will criticize our completely renovated house and our taste in furniture. I just dont care. |

No, it is not any guest’s “job” to criticize their hosts’ home. If you think you can get away with that, you’ll quickly be frozen out, MIL. |

Are you implying that I’m MIL? LOL My MIL annoys the crap out of me. She does not visit 3-4x per year. I can tolerate once per year/ |
