[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband and his brother need to address this directly.  Be direct. Ask mom why she is so determined to always join your plans to visit the brother. Explain how it impacts his family. I would go so far as to say that my children caught colds the last time the visited and sleeping in an unfinished basement is no longer an option. Period. State that visits from here on out need to be staggered or someone needs to stay in a hotel.

BTW, stating that there is no AB&B or hotel nearby is not convincing. I'm sure there is SOMETHING within a 30 minute drive. Next time they tagalong, agree that you will either 1) stay in a hotel, thus making the visit much more inconvenient and fun or 2) cancel and tell inlaws that since they are going, you no longer will.

stop being such a doormat. [/quote]

There are always other options. OP can rent an RV and park it outside and have it all to herself with her family. When the OP has to go out of their way to imply that there are no other options at all, it's a tell that something isn't right. [/quote]
