[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -- are you interested in having guests?
Seriously -- some people do not like having guests...do  not like being put out in any way...
Doesn't make you a bad person...just how you like things...if this is the case...just tell folks you do not have room and suggest some hotels.
Otherwise...it will not kill kids to move from their rooms for a day or 2 or 5...
let them bunk on your floor in a sleeping bag...they will think it is heaven...
otherwise...tell potential guests to go elsewhere[/quote]

I don't love having guests in general, but it depends on who it is. And if I'm ok with my parents or sister visiting, I HAVE to be "ok" with MIL visiting (though I reserve the right to disallow her dirty, yappy dog). I believe in the grandparents relationship and I understand them wanting to stay over to spend time with the kid(s). Our sleeping arrangements at her house are uncomfortable, and I believe in being a decent host so I don't want to do the same thing to them. I'm now considering a high riser bed for DS even though it's not the look or price I'm going for. Every time someone visits I don't want to have to over think things, I want it to be easy on us and comfortable for them. That would be the easy solution to keep the peace.[/quote]
I am the PP you quoted.
I stick to my original suggestion...let the gp's sleep in the kids' rooms...and kids sleep with you...
I grew up in a 2 bed apt....that is what we did when gp's came to visit...i gave up my room...
no need to overthink or overspend[/quote]
