[quote=Anonymous]	You’re an adult, you don’t have to sleep anyplace you don’t want to sleep.

Personally, I’d nip this in the bud because I’ve had some painful experiences with older people thinking they can task my husband and I, that our time, interests and what-have you simply don’t matter. 
I want to stay married, and I don’t want to fight, but I would over this issue. Trust me, if you don’t say no now, these requests won’t stop and will only get more intrusive.  You’ll be painted as the mean b*** which is a position you don’t want. If papa falls, you’ll be blamed even if you couldn’t have prevented it, you’re not going to help the old man shower or stop him from going out to rake leaves, you’re not his wife.  Many women don’t understand this, especially an inappropriate old one.

If your mother-in-law doesn’t want her husband to be alone, she can stay home, or he can join her on this trip. 
Stop the pretense that you are willing to stop by to “say hello” you don’t, and papa doesn’t want you to either. 
Finally, I wouldn’t send your husband anywhere. That’s the language used for children and packages “We’re sending Johnny to preschool today” “We’re sending this back to Amazon”. It’s not appropriate for an adult and not a habit you want to encourage, your husband isn’t the family and community rental.
