[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the bit about the trundle bed. You're not deterring her. You're actively inviting her to sleep at your house in the future. [/quote] OP here: DW and I have talked about getting a trundle bed for the guest room regardless of my parents visiting. My thinking was that by telling my mom she can get us the bed as a gift, it gives me an out for why they can't stay here this time. [/quote] You can't make fake excuses. You just say, "staying with us isn't going to be possible right now." Mom "but why" you- "it's just not possible at this time" DH does that to me all the time. "Oh sorry we can't come to your wedding because we're still breastfeeding and kids aren't invited." Then the bride bends over backwards to make sure our kids are invited. Then DH has to squirm some saying the real reason is I'm sick and a few weeks postpartum. Just tell the truth and stop waffling. [/quote] This x1000 [/quote]
