[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, and you shouldn't need them to help you move. You're two adults. Act like it - hire movers like normal people. You can't ask people for help but then say "Oh, but you can't stay here" - are they supposed to help you move but also pay for the gas to travel to you AND three meals a day?  It shouldn't cost THEM money to help you move. Tell them to come visit you in the new house a week or month after you've moved and just hire movers for half a day.[/quote]

OP here. To be clear, we are hiring movers. They would be offended if we told them not to come. [/quote]

Then you don't need their help - the movers are helping. Even if  you and DH and both in wheelchairs, the movers will handle everything - that's literally what they do. Having more people with their stuff, is just more work. I'd  be offended if they tried to insist on coming when we were moving. "We're trying to get things and people OUT of this house - having houseguests is counter-intuitive to that." [/quote]
