Willing to host parents but not sister for 2 week visit

[Anonymous]

We have 3 bedrooms (parents rooms and one room per kid) and parents usually take the 3rd room that belongs to the youngest kid when they have visited. They are willing to share that room with my sister if we will host her too. She has visited in the past but never at the same time as parents. It just feels like too much to have 3 additional people in the house so I said no. They said ok, but they are being cold and acting like I’m being selfish and mean. Urgh.

You are being selfish and mean, just own it.

Hi mom! It’s okay I expected the OP bashing.

Does your sister live with your parents. You expect bashing but not giving much info.

2weeks is a long visit with 3 people if you don’t have a lot of extra room.

2 weeks!! Can you handle 3 extra people for 1 week? That’s what I would offer.

I agree that it’s pretty mean of you too. Your parents just wanted their two kids together. Just own it. It’s fine to say no.

Need more details about the sister—strange that she would want to spend 2 weeks of vacation time to stay at your house (not an insult, just most young people would travel to new places and travel with a boyfriend/husband, not hang out at a sibling’s house).

You have zero guest rooms and are very generous to shuffle around for even your parents.

It’s called a hotel if grown adults want to visit. Cheapasses.

Yes she does. She’s in college but lives at home. I live in a different area.

Yikes! you’re more horrible than I thought!

Wait - you’re literally refusing to host part of someone’s immediate family? Yikes

I agree it's too much. I don't think anyone should visit anyone for 2 weeks, but anyway. Maybe if you phrased it more politely and contributed to the cost of a hotel.

Or maybe there's a reason they don't want to leave her alone at home but they don't want to tell you.
