[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound high maintenance.  I don't allow kids to bring water/food all over the house.  That's not respectful.  Bring a basket for the shoes. And, bring towels.  Five people, and all the sheets, towels, etc. does get to be a lot.[/quote]

Op here. My parents (and in-laws actually) don’t have plastic cups and only use glass cups that are identical. So kids had a cup at each meal. They’d reuse them but when you clear the table you can’t tell them apart. 5 cups x 3 meals and they went crazy. And then water bottles because we’re going to amusement parks, playgrounds and hikes. Anyways, I thought that if I brought labeled water bottles and that’s all my kids could use for the whole day that the problem would be solved. I washed them at night. When you clear the counter though, there’s no where to put water bottles. I wish we could have a drawer or a shelf in the pantry.

And no, all of the closets and dressers are full. My parents aren’t hoarders, but there isn’t room for our clothes. Same with in-laws (the one room doesn’t have a closet and the other they store coats in it).

I guess no I don’t think it’s reasonable for parents to complain at us about our mess.  Unless they’re pointing out a solution. Life is already harder in a new location (naps, bedtime, food) and I’m trying my best.

Choices, yes, I get that. We do vacation with parents but they like it when we visit. And no, they’d absolutely not pay for a hotel. We don’t get any money from parents. [/quote]
