[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe OP’s parents and her DH’s mom both live out of town. Her parents will be visiting with her over Christmas and will be staying in her home. She would love to invite her MIL to come celebrate Christmas with them too, but does not have enough room in her house for her MIL to also sleep at her house. She wonders if she could ask her BIL (MIL’s son) to host/house/provide accommodations for the MIL so that she can invite everyone to celebrate the holiday together.

I think this is a lovely idea. My sister and I routinely take turns hosting/housing our parents if the other one has the in-laws in town. OP, just run the idea by your BIL before you approach your MIL. Let him know you would love to have everyone celebrate the holiday at your house, but that you are unable to provide a bed for your MIL this time, as your parents are staying in your guest room. As him if he would be willing to house his mother so that you can have the whole family (obviously his family is included in this) over to celebrate the holiday together. [/quote]

Op here. Yes, you have it right. I was thinking/worrying about this and was typing while getting the kids ready for school earlier today and my post is confusing.[/quote]

What's the alternative? Just telling MIL she can't come because your house is full? Sounds like your parents made their plans first. MIL can either stay with someone else, get a hotel, or not come. What is the issue here?[/quote]
