[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like if this was a well liked friend you would have made the tiniest effort. But, it's the in-laws so that would be asking too much.[/quote]

OP here. We made the effort of cleaning the house and putting clean sheets on the bed and extra towels in the guest bath. There is nothing wrong with lasagna, or with pizza: and by the way, we’ve eaten both leftovers and pizza in their home before.

No, my daughter isn’t going to skip a birthday party that she RSVPd for before the grandparents asked to stay with us. We went out of our way to explain this was a busy weekend, and we’re not up for hostessing with the mostessing. I am making a very nice dinner tonight, the one non-workday evening they are here with us. I’ve also provided more hot breakfast items than I ever do when it’s just my family in our home.

None of our friends would ever treat us this way. Ever. Especially not after we told them it wasn’t a great time to visit, and they said they understood. My friends know that a free place to stay when they are in town for another event entirely is a GIFT.

At any rate, DH is ready to tell them flat out to stop the complaining. They are beyond rude and we will absolutely never trust that they can handle a visit during a non-holiday/non-summertime ever again. [/quote]

Have you had dirty sheets on the bed since the last visitor? And putting towels in the bathroom? Nobody is going to accuse you of rolling out the red carped.[/quote]

NP and I always put fresh sheets on the guest bed but put new sheets on anyway when a guest is imminent. How weird, no one wants to sleep on potentially dusty sheets if it has been months[/quote]

+1 and the guest room is where people go to relax, sleep when someone is snoring or has gas, or pee’d in their on bed or whatever the case may be. And you don’t necessarily need to change those sheets if someone from your own household slept on or laid on it once or twice but an outsider should be provided fresh sheets[/quote]
