I am having a hard time with all of these narcissistic posts.  Who are you people that you won't offer your bed to your parents?  Sad, very sad.[/quote]

+1 there’s a lot of people on this thread who weren’t raised to value others...[/quote]

+2  I'm really stunned at how insecure some of the people are on this thread.  Like letting their parents sleep in their bed [i]while they are away [/i]is going to harm them somehow.  Crazy! [/quote]
There are many people on this thread who must be keeping the psychotherapists of DC busy.  Snowflakes who can't handle the thought of someone sleeping in their bed!  #Firstworldproblems

Oh, just shut up already. [/quote]

The psychotherapists are probably already pretty busy with people like the PP who have so much time and vitriol that they need to troll internet forums insulting people but contributing nothing.[/quote]

Ha ha, I’m a psychotherapist and I’m totally #teamguestroom absent of cultural issues. Boundaries are healthy :)[/quote]

Of course you are.  Someone has to validate their patients’ sense of narcissism. “Yes it is my sanctuary! Let the elderly parents sleep in the less comfortable room at the same time I ask them to watch my kids for free.”[/quote]

Oh so now the parents are “elderly” too?  :roll:  love how everyone is adding “facts” not provided by OP. [/quote]

The ILs/parents of OP are the grandparents of the kids they are watching at Op’s Home.  While it is possible that OP was a teenage parent, I don’t know too many grandparents who I wouldn’t classify as elderly.[/quote]

OP has young kids so realistically she is in her 30s. Her parents likely could have had her in their 20s. 50s, even 60, is hardly elderly for gods sake. And if they’re so elderly that they need special concessions for their comfort they probably shouldn’t be watching and running after little kids for a week.[/quote]

That’s your special definition.  Lots of people around these parts raise young kids in their 40s.  The AARP defines their membership of elderly as 50+.[/quote]

Yes I know. I’m one of them. I was giving one realistic possibility that would not mean OP’s ILs were elderly.  It’s not my “special definition.” And once again for the people in the back, everyone is prescribing additional facts not given by the OP to justify their opinion. We have no idea how old these people are, only that they are presumably young empnough to babysit, they frequently cross boundaries, and they want to use OP and spouses bedroom despit one of the inhabitants of that room being uncomfortable with it.

But speaking of special definitions, the AARP can call elderly anything they want. But 50 is not elderly FFS.  What’s middle age? 35?   :roll: [/quote]
