[quote=Anonymous]There is no convincing. They either stay in a hotel, or they don’t visit. They can complain all they want, but you have to do what is best for you and your kids.

We renovated our house to add a guest room in the basement, because we love all 3 sets of grandparents and want them to visit, but when the kids got close to school-age, it was too disruptive to have them on the floor on air mattresses or squished in bed between us etc.

You could offer some compromises - they can stay with you in the summer when kids are out of school.  They can get connecting hotel rooms and the kids can stay there with them on the weekend. You can spend time together in another place - we spent a long weekend in Charlottesville with grandparents and got a big AirBnB, it was like a mini vacation for all of us and way more fun than being squished in our house! Or they can give you several hundred thousand dollars so you too can renovate/add on/buy a bigger house to accommodate their visits!
