[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]No problem. What are your concerns, exactly, about asking them to go home? 3 5 hours isn't a long drive, why would they mind? [/quote][/b] OP here. Thank you all for your responses. Usually, yes, I am very straightforward about this kind of thing. But my ILs (particularly MIL) have in the past been unpredictable about boundaries. Sometimes, they go with the flow, and totally understand reasonable requests. At other times, the littlest things will offend them. I do my best to be thoughtful and considerate, but sometimes, even the best-intended plans go awry and they get offended. That's why I wanted some objective advice here about whether or not this was a reasonable request. If everyone had told me I was being ridiculous, I would have had a lot more to think about. But since it sounds like an OK plan, with good reasoning, I will be comfortable setting the boundary and letting them deal with their own feelings if they do get offended.[/quote]
