Another IL visit post

Why can't one of the kids give up their room and they bunk with you or the kids together? This seems like the most reasonable, logical thing to do.

I understand why you would want them to visit. Aside from your DH, it's important for your kids as well. I do think your post is a little of the feeling that you want them to come w/o you being inconvenienced whatsoever (bed early, private space, etc.) You don't sound very welcoming. Maybe they pick up on that? You need to be a bit more flexible. And kick one of the kids out of their room.

I think they should stay in a hotel. They know the arrangement at the house and if that does not work for them, get a hotel.
