[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally would simply refuse to play host but let them access our house, in order to not spend down MIL’s care fund for a hotel. But I’m the type of person who can easily turn off hosting duties for family - I simply won’t cook for or entertain them and would go about our regular schedules.[/quote] This. Just go about your regular routine. Tell your kids that they need to do their homework, studying, activities, etc., even if their aunt and uncle are visiting. And you do whatever it is you normally do. Tell your visiting family that you are happy for them to come by, but you and the kids will be busy doing whatever it is you normally do on those evenings. It's family. You don't have to sit there and entertain them as you would other guests. When it's time for bed, just say that it was great seeing them, but you and kids need to go to bed because you have school and work tomorrow. [/quote]
