[quote=Anonymous]Initially, I was going to say suck it up for a night.  However as I got more details it seems like MIL likes the bragging rights and having them stay with her  but has no interest in being inconvenienced.  We have been fortunate to have our own bedrooms but the only way it works is if grandparents are willing to have the kids I their room or a common area.  If we have to keep the kids quiet, keep them engaged and not touching anything 24-7 while in super tight quarters and the grandparents are not helping, I would absolutely stay at a hotel or at another relatives.  I had one family visit (not parents or MIL) where the kids could not get crumbs on the table while eating (SIL is a neat freak), had to be quiet all morning, had no cable/tv they could watch, had no where to run around and the family that hosted barely engaged with the kids in conversation or anything.  It was all the independence of a hotel in terms of little engagement with all the inconvenience of staying with family.   I said never again.  I won't go all diva if someone is bending over backwards for us to make a less than ideal logistical situation work.  When the person is making it a lot more work for me to stay with them than at a hotel and don't really like having kids around I'm choosing the hotel so we both can be comfortable.[/quote]
