[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to navigate this and feeling caught in the middle.

My husband has always been on the conservative side. Our eldest daughter is 23 and living in NYC since after she graduated college. She has a good job and supports herself. She’s coming home for Christmas with her boyfriend, who is 25. They’ve been dating a year but this is his first time here since we’ve always visited them.

My husband said he had to sleep in the den, which has a pullout couch and glass doors, since my husband doesn’t feel comfortable with them sleeping in her room. I let my daughter know that and she balked. She then let me know that they’re just going to stay in a hotel. But the only one with affordable availability is 25 minutes away, each way, which means they will be here significantly less. My husband got angry about it and said she’ll barely be around and [i]it feels disrespectful to him that they can’t go without sleeping in the same room to the point they’d waste visiting time [/i]and money on a hotel room. My daughter isn’t budging. How would you handle this?[/quote]

He’s right[/quote]
He’s not. They want to enjoy their vacation, together, just like most couples in love. It has nothing to do with him. He’s lucky they’re still coming at all.[/quote]
