[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I’d prefer if they never came, but that’s unreasonable on my part. I drew a line after they came and stayed to 16 nights. We were fighting constantly as we don’t actually have a guest room so they stay in our finished[b] but not closed off to the rest of the house [/b]basement which at least has a full bath. So now my max is 7 days, applies to any and all guests so there is no favoritism. And when it is ILs I conveniently always have at least a few nights of work travel in the middle since 3 days seems to be the max before my spouse grows irritated at the reversion to childhood roles and starts taking it out on me. [/quote]  What does this mean? There are stairs that lead to the basement without a door?[/quote]

Yes, big open stairs from our family room to the basement. It’s a walk out basement. So once I’m up getting the kids ready for school (they never come when the kids are available) they are up too since the noise goes right down the stairs and in my tiny kitchen demanding coffee, breakfast, etc. while all I’m trying to do is get the kids out the door so I can go to work. 10+ school days of that and my nerves are shot!
