Could all of the parents stay at a hotel? Could you foot half of your mom's hotel bill, OP?[/quote]

Or cover all of it? I completely understand having different housing situations for different sorts of guests. But since they'll be overlapping, I think it's just too blatant if you have the appearance of giving your mom preferential treatment (i.e. more access to the grandbaby).

Alternately, if you end up feeling that you need to offer them a chance to stay with you, I think your husband needs to make it contingent on them following your house rules. "If you stayed here, we'd need you up by 7 a.m. since nanny comes at 7:15 and needs to be in and out of the living room. Nap time is 1-4, so we'd need you out of the apartment during those hours to keep things quiet. And after baby goes to sleep at 8, we're exhausted and will be getting ready for bed. I think you'll be more comfortable in the hotel--then you can come by at your leisure in the morning and spend a few hours with baby before his nap. Afterward, you can head out for some sightseeing or relaxing at the hotel. We'd be happy to meet up again at dinnertime for some take-out."[/quote]
