[quote=Anonymous]I would take the money.  If they can afford it, and they're going to give it to you anyway, why not allow them to gift it when it would really make your life easier (you need/would like a bigger house so you can have another baby--not really realistic in 20 years).  It sounds like if they're helping your sibling it shouldn't be awkward.  And also it's their choice to give you the money "early" anyway.  You could wait for them to bring it up again or To bring it up you could just say, "we've been looking at houses and wondered if your offer to help was still open.  It would make it possible for us to have a bigger place for another kid/guests.  We'd be so grateful."  And if they say yes, you can say "how much were you thinking so we know our price range?"  I wouldn't say anything about them not getting input unless it becomes an issue.  The guest room doesn't sound like an unreasonable request unless you don't want them staying with you--in which case maybe don't take the money.  [/quote]
