[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't your husband tell his parents that their house is filthy and that he doesn't feel comfortable staying there unless they clean it up or get it cleaned?  I really see nothing wrong with a child telling his parents how it is.  As long as it isn't you saying these things, it's fine.  His parents probably don't realize how dirty their house is because it's what they see 24/7 and think is normal.  [/quote]

I have a similar situation with my in laws - filth and add in a whole lot of hoarding - and none of the 3 sons say a word to the parents. One son hardly goes to their house to visit cause he can't stand it.  The thing is that as horrible as the parents house is now it was like that to a lesser extent when DH and siblings lived there so they are kind of used to it. My in laws are now in their mid 80s and too loopy to listen to reason and don't see the dirt, mold on the food or dried stuff on the utensils. I have a 2 night stay maximum and because of the in laws age it hardly seems fair to DH to demand staying at a hotel since time with them is so precious. [/quote]
