There really is no good solution here. If you insist on the bedroom, then you are throwing old people in the basement, which is also not good.

You need to just talk to everyone and say that you are no longer comfortable sleeping in the basement and you will need to visit separately from now on.


I think part of the issue is the elders can't safely do the stairs (nor can OP's young kids). So yeah, separate visits because the house can't accommodate all the families at once.

The BILs house is not conducive to family visits given the dynamics OP describes. The BILs family needs to just visit OP/in laws. Sometimes those are the breaks when you move away from your home town.
