[quote=Anonymous]You gotta reframe this. Sure they can come to anything they want! But they can't spend the night more than 2-3 nights a month and must clear it ahead of time. Sounds like the basement guestroom needs to become unavailable for a little while to reset everyone's expectations. I would not treat them like guests when they come either. They can find the clean sheets and towels, they can run to the store, they can help cook dinner. Perhaps a standing weekend would be a good idea. That way, you can say "oh yes Johnny has a game this weekend, but remember we're planning to have you come next weekend for his karate jamboree, so save your driving for that! See you in a week!"[/quote]
