[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I hear what lots of you are saying about the hotel, and I wouldn't mind it, but my parents would flip a shit, espicially since brother who has kids is a huge people pleaser, and would probably sleep standing up just to stay at their house and keep them happy LOL.

[quote=Anonymous]Hotel.

Can grandparents get rid of furniture to make room for a PNP?  They really only need a bed and night stands.  We have a tiny house and we can fit a PNP with a queen in our bedroom but not much room.[/quote]

One of the bedrooms has a big desk that they could get rid of, and would allow for enough space for a PNP. The other two bedrooms have enough space for a PNP and two twin beds, but it would be VERY tight.

[quote=Anonymous]I know this is not possible for everyone, but my parents finished their basement, adding a bedroom plus living space and a large bathroom, once grandkids started coming.[/quote]

This is an intriguing idea. My parents have an unfinished basement that they have talked about finishing for the past 20 years or so, and I wonder if this will push them to do so. They have the money, but from a practical standpoint, it would be a tough sell, as the basement would go unused for 90% of the year. Still though, it's an interesting idea, and I wonder what the best way to broach that with them?[/quote]

OP, it’s interesting you say “flip your shit.” My parents are the same way. Then they moved to a condo. It has a guest room. They somehow expected 3 adults and 2 kids to stay there.

At a certain point your husband says “this is nuts, we are staying in a hotel.” And you say, but my parents!!” And then you decide you rather piss off your parents, than your husband. And you stay in a hotel. And the visit goes fine. And, you sleep better not on an air mattress in the living room!! And the pissed off parents sighed a few times about how they wished we could all wake up together, but that was it.

Be an adult. Do what’s best for you and your family with your money. It’ll be fine.[/quote]
