[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree - this sounds like an absolutely terrible idea.  My parents bought a vacation house on a mountain.  The view and setting are wonderful but there just isn't enough space.   My DH hates staying there so we've started renting another house down the street when it's more than just our family (brothers, etc.).  They aren't offended and we spend all of our awake time at their house.  We've tried to talk them into adding onto it but we're really only there 2 weeks in the summer so it seems to be a bit of a waste when it's usually just them.

No way would I want to stay in a bunk room with my BIL/ SIL/ nephews.  Bunk rooms are great for kids but NOT for adults...  Is there a nearby hotel/ vacation house you could rent while visiting them?  Or talk them into doing multiple smaller bunk rooms for each sibling/ family?  My DH wouldn't stand for that either (he hates to share a room with kids), but it would be better than having multiple families in one room.  I'm a bit stunned - who would think that was a good idea??

Also I really, really think your DH should sit them down and tell them your family will not be there nearly as much as they are envisioning.  8 hours is a long way away -[b] a week in the summer seems like a reasonable commitment [/b]to make but certainly not for short holidays.[/quote]

OP here. I only get 2 weeks a year. I absolutely 100% will not be there for a week a year. [/quote]
