[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I will be going back to his hometown for the holidays.  The house his parents live in is very small and there will be multiple other family members there (we would be sharing a bathroom with at least three others).  I'm in my third trimester - and have some issues I won't go into which make bathroom time more valuable - so casually brought the idea of getting a hotel to give others more space.  He seemed opened to it but did mention that his mom might not love the idea.  I dropped it for the time being but am debating bringing it up again.  I don't want to upset the family, but I just know I'd be much happier in a hotel.

I'm pretty sure I should just suck it up, but am wondering if others have thoughts on a way to approach this that wouldn't hurt feelings?[/quote]

This isn’t meant to be a personal crack, but I never underrstand men who bulldoze over their wives to tiptoe around their parents. He’s a grown up now, and oh well... his mom won’t love the idea? You know who WILL love the idea? His third-trimester pregnant, chosen life partner!

OP, I don’t think that staying in a hotel for your privacy and comfort *should* cause hurt feelings, but I’m also going to say that your feelings are no less valid, so if your mother in law feels hurt by what YOU need, oh well. Hurt feelings in a normal grownup mend. [/quote]
