[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ILs should fly to you and stay in a hotel and visit however much they want. Kids could visit in their hotel perhaps - especially if there's a pool, or you can all go to 
a park or something. Staying with you, without him in the home, would be awkward for sure. But no reason they can't visit and he can join.[/quote]
He doesn’t want to do that and they are his parents. While everyone involved is an adult, so don’t need his permission, I think that asking his parents to visit after he said he doesn’t want to do that is adding needless drama to a difficult situation. Presumably the trial separation means there is still some hope for reconciliation, so why add more issues to this time? It’s unfortunate for the kids, but I think that is an issue of the uncertainty surrounding the current situation. I think it’s hard for kids to live in uncertainty (are they going to get divorced; will dad come back, will we have to move, etc.). Work on figuring that out first.[/quote]
