[quote=Anonymous]They may also be asking because they would prefer to stay as far from the new baby as possible, remembering how frequently a new baby wakes up, eats, etc. It was chaos upstairs when we brought our baby home. My MIL actually did stay up there with us because she wanted to help. FIL quickly opted for the couch in the basement and was very happy with his choice! No matter how lovely your guest room, they may truly be more comfortable in the basement, even if they get a futon or a blow-up mattress. We now offer guests a choice of the guest room, which is right next to our bedroom and the baby's room, or a blow-up mattress in the basement with their own bathroom. Most of our visitors have opted for the basement.

You should not have to entertain them or worry too much about their comfort right after you come home, anyway. Let DH do it or, if they are not happy, let them do it themselves. (And I say this as someone who did try to cook, clean, etc 2 days after baby was born -- big mistake.) If the service isn't up to their standards they will go to a hotel.[/quote]
