+1000. Don't do any more than you absolutely have to. Let his mom deal. She may not mind as much as you think anyway.[/quote]

I think she’ll mind. We moved a couple of months ago and all of the guest room furniture is still wrapped in moving blankets in a corner of the room and there is protective paper and plastic everywhere where DH was going to start a project in that room. So it’s not accessible or usable even for just sleeping. [/quote]
His mom, his problem.[/quote]

Everyone here always talks a big game but I doubt most people would have the guts or cruelty to lead an elderly woman to an unprepared guest room after a long flight just to try to make a point about their DH’s behavior. [/quote]

You're just making things up, you have no idea how long the travel is or whether she's really elderly.

Don't make MIL do this herself, but leave it until the last possible time, so like the afternoon or evening of her arrival, to see if he overcomes his sickness. Tell her "DH has been sick so your room isn't ready." And then see if he is ashamed enough to get off his butt.[/quote]

OP. She’s coming from Vancouver BC and she’s 81. So yeah, this wasn’t far off. She is relatively old and it’s a long trip.

DH is picking her up straight from his work day so he won’t be able to prep anything before she arrives if he waits until the day of. We’ll see how this plays out, I guess?[/quote]

Sounds like he'll be able to prep her room when he gets back from picking her up at the airport. [/quote]
