[quote=Anonymous]My parents are physicians and refuse to believe that my DH and I have severe animal allergies. I have medical tests to prove it but they waive it off. Folks who don't experience it just don't understand. And it's not like taking a single shower will make it all better. My allergies didn't start til my teens so I was one of those people who didn't get it at first.

We cannot stay at my parents' home b/c cat hair invades everything (e.g. can't use hand towels to dry my hands b/c no matter how often they are washed in the fancy machine, they still have hair in them). 5 long hair cats just make a big mess (as sweet and lovely as those cats are).

So OP, you have every right not want to expose yourself to this. Yes, it's a sad situation that you can't overnight with the rest of the gals, but it will ruin everything else about being there. Load up on Zyrtec starting a few days in advance of arriving (I find that can give me a few hours delay of symptoms onset), and hopefully you can hang with them for a couple hours like a PP suggested, but then go back and sleep in an animal free zone.

[I too feel sad we can't overnight at my parents' b/c it means they get less time with their grandson. DH literally cannot breathe in their house and that's priority 1. I LOVE being with my parents and DH went on vacation with just my dad this summer and it was amazing, so it's not that we don't want to be with them.][/quote]
