[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to put this in perspective. What's more important - seeing your family or having your routine interrupted?

I get that you are outraged on behalf of your kid, but it seems like you are mostly annoyed the daily routine gets out of whack when they come.

They don't have to live on your schedule. Be a little more flexible and accommodating.[/quote]

Did you read OP's post?  Her family are behaving like selfish twats.  [/quote]

PP here. I read it, and yeah, their behavior could be better. However, it's a courtesy that you accommodate the travelers and the guests in your home. They don't accommodate you. Both sides need to behave better, but it seems like OP's choice is between them coming and not coming at all. So have them come and talk about it in person.[/quote]

It's not either/ or. That what grandma decided to make it, not OP.  No problem solving going on here, just "grandma's way or the highway." Nice.

The frequent repeat "houseguests" to our house do not get special treatment nor accommodation. We both work, kids are busy, life is costly, please meet us on a family vacation if you truly want to spend quality time with your adult child, the spouse and kids. Living in our house off for free for weeks while everyone is out 8-4pm is not convenient for us nor is going to be put on a pedestal. Enjoy your 3 free meals and snacks each day while we're working and at school! Just keep defrosting all our food in the freezer, you're awesome and so thoughtful. Oh, and never, ever offer to take us out for dinner or get your own groceries.  That would be too considerate.  [/quote]
