[quote=Anonymous]We have no guest room or basement. The kids sleep in a crib and single bed, so their rooms are not options. When my parents visit they sleep on a mattress in the living room - they want to be here when the kids wake up and enjoy breakfast etc together. ILs choose to sleep in a hotel because they don't want the mattress in the living room. That's their choice - though DCUM tore me a new one for not offering them my room in this situation.

DH and I agree that we're not comfortable giving up our room. My reasoning is mostly, as other expressed, the intimacy and privacy of my space. I am not particularly close with them, and it makes me uncomfortable. Also, when they are here it's always over a weekend and I do work in my room on weekends during the day - if they were in there I would end up having to work while in my son's twin bed or on the floor. If I needed to escape from them - they can be a lot to handle - I literally have no where to go. It's one thing for them to come visit, which I find stressful enough, but if I had to give up the only privacy and space I had I would forever resent every moment of their visits.

Maybe I'm choosing to be selfish. But I need to draw the line somewhere and that's where I choose to draw it.[/quote]
