[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian poster here:

This is why Asian parents are in trepidation about their children marrying outside of the culture.

We would never insist on our in-laws or parents staying in a hotel. We'd just accommodate everyone because they are family. I'd certainly not use double standards when it comes to my parent staying with us as opposed to my in-laws.

Not intended to be a value judgement as much as an explanation of a glaring cultural difference. In fact, for most Asian parents if one were to tell them to stay in a hotel, they would not even come. I know that is how my parents would react.[/quote]

Another Asian here and I know what you mean, but if  I lived in a 750 sq ft apartment and apparently inconsiderate inlaws wanted to stay for 5 days, I'd be tempted to ask them to stay in a hotel as well. Just because some families ask or don't invite inlaws or other family members to stay with them during visits, it does not make them wrong or inconsiderate. You seem narrow minded.

OP, I feel bad for you and your nanny as well. I would hate to have 3 other family members hovering over me in a small space for a week.[/quote]
