[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if they reconfigure the space to give everyone more privacy, the in-laws need to know that this doesn't mean that you will be spending every holiday, every vacation with them in that house.

You have your own traditions in your home and your own side of the family to consider, too.

This is a good point. My ILs built a vacation home with tons of bedrooms with the thought that the whole family could visit frequently. It's very far - not driveable. They didn't include us in planning at all because if they did we'd tell them they're nuts. We are not using up all of our vacation time and buying flights for everyone to go to this random location they picked. That's just not happening. So we have settled that we all go out every other year. DH tries to go out a little more often by himself on quick trips.

I can say that if there was a bunk room I would never stay there. I would find a hotel or vacation rental nearby. Dividing by gender doesn't make it any more appealing. I don't want to sleep next to my BIL or SIL. [/quote]
