[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that you are trying to be too controlling. First, it’s unclear what the ‘COVID reasons’ are for you moving into your IL’s for two years.  There may be some family questions and resentments there. Plenty of people are disabled but don’t move in with parents, particularly with a spouse and kids.

I think the only appropriate thing to do here is to have DH suck it up and stay in his room, and you chill regarding masks and the kids as they will all be vaccinated. It’s not your house even if you are living there on what sounds like a permanent basis. I see the frustration of your DH’s siblings. Basically, they don’t get to have their traditions reinstated because you all have moved in. I think it’s up to you to make it work for everyone, even if your DH has to stay in his room for a bit, after all you are living there for presumably, free or at least in exchange of child care or something.

This plan involves the original poster and her kids. She does get to control who her kids sleep with during a pandemic. [b]She’s even suggested that she would be willing to move her family out of the house.[/b] I don’t think the hotel is a good idea though because I think that’s even more of a Covid risk. And it might be really hard to find an Airbnb this late. They should just stick to the other plan. The in-laws are being jerks.[/quote]

Come on- this is clearly a passive aggressive non-realistic offer. No reasonable person is going to double down and say- yes please vacate the rooms you are now living full time in and go stay at a hotel so that my kids can have their traditional Christmas sleepover at the grandparents. Instead they’ll just have to suck it up and accept their kids missing out on family traditions because Op and family have already staked their claim by moving in.[/quote]
