[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's 3br/2.5 baths. Spare rooms each have a queen.

I'm not staying in a hotel December 24th. How would Santa do his job?? I would rather be at home than that. [/quote]

Ok, so your sister and her Dh get one Queen bed, you and your Dh get the other....and the kids go where?   Maybe sister and/or BIL aren't comfortable with their kids sleeping on the floor.   Or sharing a bathroom with you and your family.   [/quote]

Yes, kids on floor/air mattresses. We're talking 24-36 hours. If my sister is the one with the issue, then I think SHE should make the alternate arrangements. I'm fine with splitting the space equally. If my mom would like me NOT to come to her house for Christmas, I'd like her to say so. Directly. And say why.[/quote]

Op, if your mom is happy with everyone there, I'm 100% with you. If your sister doesn't like it, she can adjust her plans. You shouldn't have to adjust yours. If each family gets a room, then everything is fair. [/quote]

I agree.  And, I don't understand how people cannot suck up family time in a small home for 36 hours.  OR let OP host, taking the burden off of everyone? It's Christmas.  OP's sister sounds like a peach.[/quote]

Personally, I'm not interested in a Christmas where my kids don't sleep the night before because they're on the floor, I don't sleep well because the noise from the kids on the floor is waking me up, and everyone is cranky and prone to meltdowns the next day. I want my Christmas to be peaceful and enjoyable.[/quote]
