[quote=Anonymous]With my IL everyone comes home for all of the big holiday's and events.  Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, graduations, etc. Most of the grown children live near mom and dad.  Those that don't stay at mom and dad's house. It is assumed you are coming unless you tell them otherwise.  For any other visit we will bring it up over the phone. (the grandkids call once a week at a set time, plus whenever they want to talk) It usually goes along the lines of "We were thinking of coming up on XXX, it that ok?"  Never once in 21 years have we ever gotten a negative response.  The most we will get is are you coming Friday night or Sat morning? Not because either is a problem but because MIL will cook extra dinner and have it ready for us whenever we get there.  I LOVE my ILs.  No hotels, EVER.  For big events it is crazy, loud, and crowded but it is family and everyone respects each other.  When the IL's come to visit it works the same way except that for big events we will put the parents up in a hotel since we don't have a seperate guest room.  If it is just them coming they can have the entire basement/family room with bathroom. [/quote]
