[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step MIL lives alone in a mansion and lets her son (not my DH) and his family spread out across 3 rooms (husband and wife in one, baby and toddler each in their own) all with nice beds, even though their kids are in pack and plays that she borrowed next to each bed. Meanwhile my family of three is in a hallway, with my DH and I on a leaking air mattress and our 6 year old in sleeping bag on the bare floor next to it.

Oh, and the floors were just refinished so we had to open all the windows so we don't die of asphyxiation, even though we still might since our heads are just 12 inches from the floor, scratch that, 11 inches, 10, 9... Time to pump up the mattress again. It's going to be a long night.[/quote]

Why not stay in a hotel? 
Why doesn't your BIL share the rooms more fairly?[/quote]

We cut our three night visit back to one night because of the circumstances. We would have skipped out entirely but hotels were almost an hour away and we didn't know it would be like this until we arrived late in the day. BIL was staying there with family the week before and it probably never occurred to him to change anything. I think SIL was confused and may have started to offer to double up their kids, but MIL interrupted her and said that's how it's going to be.

BIL has always gotten the world handed to him on a silver platter and doesn't think of other people. I'd heard from other relatives that MIL enabled him (her birth son) and gave my DH (her step son) jack, especially after their father passed away. Just never witnessed it to this extreme. So glad to be out of there.[/quote]

Good for you for leaving! [/quote]
