[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  If I don't do it, I will feel guilty, if I do, I will have no sanctuary to escape to and I probably won't sleep well, and I may get so stressed out by the end of their visit that I behave poorly.  Lots of other stressful issues around their visits for me.

Normally the finished basement is where our 2 kids sleep.  There is a full bath, but it is very 80s.  There is a tiny bedroom which is my younger's, that has a door.  Then there is a great room space with no door, where my DD sleeps (comfortable queen bed).

We have had a handyman no show 3 times on us to put in a door, including today, the day my ILs arrive. Handyman texted he's not coming.

So they will have no door.

Also they can't share the same bed unless it's a king.  So we were thinking to move the kids up with us in an adjacent room, so one of them could have the twin in the little bedroom, and the other could have the queen.

Final issue is that once a day, at night, my DD finds a massive disgusting spider down there.  I feel major guilt for her for this, have looked into extermination, but don't really want kids in a basement space with a bunch of chemicals either.  They appeared this summer, we always race down and get the spider out, was hoping they would just "go away".

Didn't sleep well last night from the anxiety of this.  Had a blowup with husband as we cleaned last night (we rarely fight).  Horrible.[/quote]
