[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. If you buy a gift for one kid you don't automatically have to buy a gift for the other kid. FAIR does NOT mean EQUAL. If your in laws want to visit more, then they need to be better guests. It's that simple.

You need to be able to talk to your husband, OP, and tell him that his parents walking into your bedroom is completely unacceptable. Get a lock on your door. Use it. But speak honestly with your husband. [/quote]

I agree with this. When my mom comes alone, she stays on the couch. ILs stay in a hotel. There are two of them and they drive me crazy. Life isn't fair and if your ILs want to stay at your house, they have to be better guests. The week before you have a big project at work is not the time to test this out. Why on earth can't you tell your husband how you feel? That sounds like a bigger problem.

You could compromise by saying you need a few nights to yourself to prepare for your project. Your mom stays 2 nights, ILs stay 2 nights then they move back to the hotel. Maybe 1 night will be enough for them when they realize they have to get up at 7am and keep the TV off all day. And if they do something obnoxious, tell them! I would be livid if my ILs opened the door to my bedroom without knocking. [/quote]
