[quote=Anonymous]Anytime someone asks you to host someone else in your home for that long a period of time, when you have kids in the house (aka you are busy and already have mouths to feed and people to cater to), is being rude.  It would be one thing if BIL were coming to visit YOU, and asked YOU if next month would be an ok time for a visit, and then asked if he could stay in your guest room for his visit.  I mean, he's family.  But for a different family member to say "he's visiting us for 10 days, can he stay at YOUR house?" and get mad when you say no?  That's ballsy.  His drinking is a side bar and I would not have even brought it up.  Just, "no, we have a lot going on with work and the kids and it would be a lot of work for me to host BIL for 10 days while he visits you.  It is not something we are up to.  I am sure he'd be very comfortable on your sofa though since it's your visit with him anyways".  Why don't they want him on their sofa?  Probably because it's a big imposition!  Go figure![/quote]
