[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So because ILs are providing free child care they should get to do whatever they want? Should they be allowed to go through the drawers too? Maybe rearrange furniture? I mean, they’re doing you a favor! Just be grateful!

Isn’t this the same board that says if you do a favor for someone you shouldn’t expect payback because then it’s not really a favor?  I don’t know, maybe the ILs don’t really want to babysit and are doing it under duress, but I doubt it. I suspect they’re jumping at the chance to be there. [/quote]

Are you two years old? There is a difference between making your guests who are helping you out in a huge way comfortable and the behavior you describe. The are coming to help. Hopefully they are thrilled to do it, but it doesn’t change the fab fact that they are giving OP a multi day getaway. So, if the master bedroom has the big comfy bed and tv that they desire, why on earth would you begrudge them those comforts? [/quote]

[b]Are you an idiot?[/b] There is a perfectly [b]COMFORABLE[/b] guest room and bathroom for them to use.  It’s weird that given a perfectly fine option, with privacy and bathroom, that the ILs are insisting on the master, especially since it makes one of the spouses who sleeps in that bed regularly uncomfortable. It’s that person’s private space, and they are entitled to wanting it private, even if you disagree. It would be different if the master was the only option, but it’s not. And again, them doing her a favor doesn’t equal them getting to do something that makes her or her DH uncomfortable just because it’s what they want.[/quote]

The guest room is obviously not perfectly comfortable. And the spouse who feels icky for no good reason should just take a deep breath and focus on how grateful they are to have generous and trustworthy grandparents who give them the priceless gift of time alone.

Wanting to have your special private space so you can feel comfy while your parents sleep in a crappy bed or watch the old grainy TV is just unbelievably selfish. I guess making people feel comfortable when they are helping out with your children is not important to you.[/quote]

+1 The namecalling, poor spelling PP clearly doesn't care about being a good host to family.[/quote]

Yes, sorry typing on my phone results in an inadvertent typo.  :roll:   And let’s ignore that I got called a 2 year old first.

Assuming the OP’s guest bed is crappy and the tv is grainy to support your opinion does not make them facts. If in fact the OP admits it’s an old uncomfortable bed and the tv is crap, then maybe I would see your point. But I’m only going by what info the OP has provided, and so should you.  And providing a comfortable room and private bath to guests IS being a good host. If you don’t see that, I can’t help you.

Now you can go back to trolling for typos to make yourself feel superior.[/quote]
