[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that's an unreasonable request, to be honest. I'd be happy to let my family stay with us if we had the room. I would not be 'hosting' them, as in serving them and treating them like guests, but they can stay as part of the family. They'd be welcome to join us for our usual meals and activities or do their own thing.

It's fine if you have a different reaction. However, your DH also has a lot to say about it. I would be very pissed off if my DH said no to this.  I would do the same for his family.[/quote]

I tend to agree with this.  In addition, I'd consider rescheduling your parents' visit if having people in your house is so stressful.  This seems like a more important reason to have someone there than a purely social visit.  [/quote]

OP here. My parents live out of state, I haven't seen them in 7 months. Their visits don't make my kids crazy.  I planned their visit over a long holiday weekend so I would have time to spend with them.  We have gone out of our way to host SIL and MIL for extended visits multiple times a year and I'm lucky if I see my parents twice a year.  In this case, I would not reschedule. My SIL needs ACL surgery.  It is as at least a 6 week recovery before she can fly.  She said "weeks" but the reality is that it would turn into a minimum of 2 months.  She can get the surgery where she lives but she doesn't want to have to hire someone to take care of her afterwards. [/quote]

This is crazy.  SIL needs to stay in her own home and have MIL stay with her and take care of her.  Or SIL can go to MIL’s house and have the surgery.  It’s crazy that they are using your home for this.  [/quote]
