[quote=Anonymous]I can tell you why I did NOT like coming home.

I was the last to marry and don't have kids. My siblings with kids were prioritized over me. I was told there was no room for me at the house (five bedrooms) unless I wanted to sleep on the couch where someone inevitably watched TV till midnight and someone else inevitably woke up and hung out there starting at 6am. There were no hotels nearby unless you drove thirty minutes and those were of the crappy Days Inn variety where drug deals were probably going on next door. I was told where I slept did not matter since I was single / did not have kids.

Sheets on bed not necessarily clean so I'd always have to wash and dry sheets after traveling there before being able to go to sleep.

House was not in good shape. Always a leak in a shower or a toilet not working so we had to crowd into one or two bathrooms.

So:

-Each of your adult children should score at least one bedroom, even if they don't get married and have kids.
-Make sure all the plumbing, HVAC, etc, stays working.
-Clean sheets on bed.
-Be willing to put people up at hotels if there are nice ones nearby.
