Right...but turning them away would also be a unilateral decision and would create MORE problems than it would solve.  You can win the battle but still lose the war.  I agree that some sort of compromise about workload, frequency and length is in order, but [b]my out of town parents would never be asked to stay in a hotel as a convieneience to us - so I would not ask my IL's.[/b] [/quote]

But do your parents or in-laws visit for 4 days every month? [/quote]

Not anymore (my kids are teens now) but when each of the kids were born, my parents visited a weekend or two every month from the second month to about the tenth month. [/quote]

To me that sounds easier to manage, given that it was weekends, but regardless, your husband was completely fine with it. Had he not been, I'm sure you would have communicated with him about reducing the frequency or whatever he needed.

In this case the OP doesn't seem to like the frequency and length of the visits, but her husband seems inflexible on that. [/quote]
