[quote=Anonymous]OP is right. We are on day 6 of hosting my husbands family in our house. Currently 8 of us but the first 4 days there were 12 and on day 5 my in laws came to visit. I have a 2 yr old and 10 week old. From my perspective it was a LOT more work and stress to prep our house for that many visitors and it’s been a lot more stress on my toddler to constantly have cousins in her space, sharing her toys etc. I’m lucky that my mom lives near by and could come get my toddler for breaks now and again. BUT I’m still glad we had them come. We’ve been in our house less than a year and obviously have a new baby so it’s been nice to have everyone come enjoy things and places that matter to us. But I think OP is right that it would have been way less work to just pack the kids up and travel and to have left the house in disarray and not be responsible for 3 meals a day for a dozen people, cleaning, activities, helping my kids de-stress when everything is noisy etc. [/quote]
