[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like your kids are pretty spoiled.  Our kids love it when grandparents visit.  They give up their room and "slumber party" in the living room on the floor.  It's like camping for them.  They love having the grandparents visit and appreciate every second with them   Oldest is now in high school and has no issue sacrificing sleeping arrangements for family.  Who knows how much longer they'll be around, be grateful for every moment.[/quote]

Did your THREE kids sleep on the livingroom floor for 5 school days, whereby they wouldn't sleep well, they'd talk into the night, etc?  I'm not the OP but honestly, having to toss kids onto the floor for 5 nights AND it's a school night seems wrong. For a few days on the weekend when everyone can sleep in? Fine!

How about one parent and the 3 kids go to the hotel for the 5 nights?  Since your kids are school-age, they should be able to sleep in a hotel.  ONE time doing that (the kids would come back from school to their home, hang out with grandparents and do their homework (because they MUST do homework, and nowadays kids end up with hours of homework), eat dinner, then go to the hotel to sleep and leave from there the next morning to go directly to school. (So pack some easy to eat food for breakfast)

ONCE doing this and this would be cured.

My parents would stay at a close-by hotel and take my niece to the hotel for a "sleepover" with them and all 3 of them loved it!  My sister's home was too small for comfort for my parents, no extra bedroom, etc.  My niece did this from 3 to 8 years of age until my sister's family moved closer to our parents so my parents didn't need to stay anywhere to see the grandkids.
