[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]TBH, if the roles were reversed and my DH ever tried to treat my parents the way some of you are advising the OP to do, we would divorce with a quickness. [/b] But like a PP said, familes are different. I love my IL's and they are welcome to stay whenever they come to town just as my parents are. And this is something DH and I discussed at length befoe we were married - what role would our parents play. The one thing we told both sets is that we would not be elaborately entertaiing them. We work them into our routine. They are fine with that and actually like living a part of our day to day. I enjoy their adult company and they always babysit one night while we go out. So...instead of turning them away, we have embraced them and made it pleasant. [/quote] Spot on! Some of the advice on this issue is nothing short of a prescription for destroying a marriage.[/quote] But what about the husband's complete disregard for what his wife has stated is an issue for her?[/quote] But about the wife's complete disregard for what her DH has stated is an issue for him? See...we could do this all day and not solve anything. TBH, this is one of those issues where OP and her DH need to compromise going in with the understanding that neither of them will get 100% of what they want. Wanting IL's to stay in a hotel is NOT a compromise. [/quote]
