[quote=Anonymous]If this is equally applicable to your own parents, how come you don't just ask them what the deal is? Hopefully they would be candid with you.

I also wonder if you just have an open invitation or you have specifically invited them for particular weekends.  I find the "come any time" is not really an invitation bc it makes someone feel like they are intruding to actually take you up on that.

There are just so many factors we don't know.  How old are they? What is your guestroom like? are they in the category of "older" ppl, where comfort is more of an issue?

I'm sort of over the DCUM posts like this where people don't actually TALK to their family members. Not trying to be mean at ALL, but hey, it's your MIL.  How about picking up the phone and saying, we'd love to see you, how about we pick a weekend in X month where you could come for a visit.  Even one night would be great.

I also traveled a lot with my DS and it can be a pain, but the flip side is, when you are away, the other stuff (house, laundry etc) is not in the way.  In a way, I've found weekend trips (flights in my family) to visit parents and inlaws to be not too bad - they deal with all the meals etc.  You do have to pack up the car and pre-plan things, but it's not impossible.
