[quote=Anonymous]You clearly love your parents and don't consider them regular houseguests. I say go ahead and treat them as family! I don't know how self-sufficient they are, but don't feel the need to host them or entertain them, but work them into your schedule for those few days and try not to let their visit feel like a big interruption. Errands are much easier without kids anyway, and how often do you get free babysitting? I say this as someone whose MIL, who lives 45 minutes away, is visiting for the weekend, for the second time this month. She's not self-sufficient at all and doesn't lift a finger around here (totally unlike my parents), but it really helped that last night we could leave our son with her to go shoot some pool![/quote]
