[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Number 1: you plan your house for the people who LIVE IN IT.  Not for guests.[/b]

Number 2: you can work any number of temporary solutions for when DH's parents come to visit.  I'd bunk up your older kids together and they can have that room, but I'd make clear how much less comfortable it will be.  And say you won't be offended if they choose a hotel instead.[/quote]

Understanding this saved my marriage and family. I held onto the guest room and isolated an immediate family member who really needed the space. My visitors have been flexible since (couch, air mattress, the Airbnb 2 streets over that I’ve also personally stayed at, hotels).[/quote]

+1. My grandmother was upset that we got cats because she's allergic to them. I pointed out that she had visited us once in 10 years and had no plans to ever do so again. She was upset anyway. She did in fact visit again but it was 8 years later. Sorry, I love cats, I'm not going to give them up because someone visits twice in two decades.

It's ridiculous for your inlaws not to stay at a hotel if you are paying for it. I could understand if it was a cost thing but if it's not, then you just need to be firm. [/quote]
