[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're going to catch hell on this topic OP. Most people on her think you should kiss your guest ass. I do not agree with this. Next time they come into town you go out and stay in a hotel away from them. You are in a very shitty situation. Or tell the ILs that once a month is too much every other month or they can stay in a hotel. Or start getting your family to stay with you until he feels uncomfortable. [/quote]

I don't think you should kiss anyone's ass, and I also think this is all awful advice. It's childish and indirect, passive-agressive BS. There is 100% room for compromise in there, in probably many different incarnations, you and your DH need to keep talking until he's willing to budge. Off the top of my head, since you say money isn't an issue, I would start by doing every other visit being in a hotel. Is it fair that you have to tap dance to get him to budge, probably not, but hey, neither is life. Also, its best to focus on your ILs through the eyes of your child, it helps me with my annoying FIL (not even DH's dad!) to see how much he genuinely cares for our son.[/quote]
