[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Just out of curiosity, does anyone NOT think it would be a nightmare? Don't worry, I'm leaning against! But this family has all these happy memories of 12 cousins sleeping on the living room floor together while adults took all the bedrooms and everyone shared 1 or 2 bathrooms so...

The more I think about it, I do think older BIL was being shortsighted and self-centered in his way (which he is prone to). "Oh, we'll just stay with X and Y!" Not thinking through the logistics, his brother's allergy, etc.  More oblivious than straight up narcissistic, but frankly, maybe a little of Column B as is his tendency.  I have a feeling he will be a little put off if we say no, but I guess that's his problem.

(DH will handle it! Not me. I think he's even more comfortable than I am in setting boundaries-- but he also finds this idea at least a little more appealing than I do.) [/quote]

Small house person who has hosted that many involuntarily.  IT IS AND WILL BE A NIGHTMARE.  If they were young kids it might not be as bad but you are talking about 6 adults all on different schedules and all that plus one bathroom.   They really should get a hotel room.  By the time you feed everyone it will be the same price as them getting a hotel room.  I'd say its a really bad time (especially if you are doing summer school/work from home) and offer to host them for dinner.[/quote]

Actually 8 adults per OP[/quote]
