[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I struggle often with the fact that when my ILs stay they have such different preferences than us. Eg the time they want to eat dinner vs us (we eat much later than them bc of what time we finish work and just our rhythm)

Do you all do what your ILs want to do because they are the guests or compromise and feel bad or how do you think about it? We typically compromise but i find that even the compromise makes me sort of have to twist myself into a pretzel.

would love to hear how others think about it. [/quote]

Your house, your preference.  I'm an inlaw/parent and can always eat a snack.  Are they just visiting or also working during a visit?  
We have 1 adult DC where the household has some unusual strict rules and procedures.  Would stay in a hotel and another would stay at their house.     [/quote]

They're just visiting but they visit quite a bit and on weekends often (like 1 in 5 or 6 weekends they come to stay). I work crazy hard during the week, friday nights the kids have sports and saturday nights I look forward to being the one night where I get to kind of relax and have a nice dinner not at 5.30pm. I also grew up in spain where no one would ever eat dinner at 5.30pm so it feels especially jolting and makes me not want them to come. [/quote]

Well, you’re not in Spain, Hilaria.[/quote]
