[quote=Anonymous]OP if I was your wife I would be pretty annoyed. Your wife agreed to the visit but not to hosting your parents and you agreed with her, were on board. When you tried to tell your mom to stay in a hotel, you let your mom turn it around where not only is she staying with you but she is bringing a bed. Your mom knows exactly what she is doing. She plans on leaving the bed there and now of course she can always stay because after all she brought the bed.

My aunt did something similar to my cousin. When they bought a new house, my cousin's mom insisted on bringing furniture for the guest room. My cousin didn't catch on to what was happening but her mom basically made it HER room. Now my cousin has issues with her mom calling it her room, informing them when she is coming and not to worry she'll just stay in her room. Her mom believes that she always get priority since its HER room and expects my cousin to cancel on people who she is expecting if her mom announces that she will be coming to stay in HER room.

I don't know if your mom will go as far as her mom but you are opening the door to more drama. Call your mom back and tell her you are sorry if you were not clear but you and your wife will not be hosting them right now. They are welcome to stay in a hotel which is really close. If that doesn't work for them then we'll have to just cancel the visit. [/quote]
