[quote=Anonymous]I am fresh out of ideas. I am very thankful for grandparents who want to come visit. We have 3 kids, no guestroom, and visits are always during the week. By the end of the fifth day, I am weeping of exhaustion. We have offered to pay for a hotel just minutes away; they counter offer by saying they will treat to a futon. We have explicitly said that it’s hard for the kids to give up their bed on school nights; they say accommodating your grandparents is a time honored tradition (no argument there, I agree with teaching children to respect older family members). They will not do shorter trips nor stay in a hotel just minutes away…we were given the silent treatment as they were incredibly offended at the suggestion. Has anyone been successful at this? Are my expectations wrong? They have suggested the kids sleep on the sofa, share a bed with grandma, or we get trundles. I then feel guilty for not accommodating these requests. It all feels so draining. [/quote]
