[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no problem with asking the grandparents to stay in a hotel and to really making the point as firmly as politely possible that it’s the only arrangement that can make sense.

What I can’t understand is why you’re all so damned nasty about your parents and the grandparents of your kids.  There’s no winning with you people.   The grandparents do too much.  They don’t do enough.  They’re too cheap.  They’re too generous.   They don’t show love.  They’re too indulgent.  Why won’t they do things our way???

The same tired refrains over and over.  Then you complain how selfish the boomers are.  But what you’re all really saying is “my way or the highway” which is the very definition of selfish.  [/quote]

No, as an adult and parent, you are entitled to run your family the way you see fit.  If the other party (grandparents or anyone else) don't like it, they don't get to be a part of it.  They got to choose how to run their family when they had kids at home, now it's your turn as a grown ass adult with your own family
