[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a sign of respect to offer your best to your guests, especially your elders.  I am having a hard time with all of these narcissistic posts.  Who are you people that you won't offer your bed to your parents?  Sad, very sad.[/quote]

So every time your parents visit, you clear off your dresser and night stands for them, and move all your toiletries and stuff to the guest room to use for yourself, and then move it all back again after they leave, instead of just offering them the empty guest bedroom?  :roll: [/quote]

YES![/quote]

I forgot to add the following.  We also:  clear space in the closet, pull out three luggage racks, put out a basket of toiletries in the bathroom, put flowers on the nightstands, pull out a basket of little amenities (bottles of water, chocolates, little flashlight, alarm clock, 2-3 books, extra chargers, new ear buds, etc) that we put out on a side table, put the remote control and cable guide where they can find it, …  These are just the things I can think off of the top of my head.

They are our parents, for crying out loud!!!  Of course, we go the extra mile.  Get this:  we even do the same thing for my husband's two great-aunts, who are widows who come to visit every few months, and who prefer sleeping together on the larger master bed than the queen in the guest room.[/quote]

+1. We have a bigger house now, but we used to live in a 2 BR condo.  Whenever we had guests we would sleep with our child and the guest (ILs, friends, other relatives) would get our room. And neither Dh nor I blinked an eyeball at having people in our room.  [/quote]
