[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the thoughtful responses. It sounds like nobody is convinced that the gate/ crate setup would remotely work, right?

I won’t get into the various family drama reasons as to why staying in a hotel doesn’t work but it’s essentially a decision between staying there or not visiting at all.[/quote]

NP and wasn't going to comment but both these statements I think I can speak on.

1) You are correct that the gate/crate set up will not work.  Never works unless the occupants of the house are fully on board and have proposed it (not just one parent).

2) I *know* you think the hotel is not an option.  I've SO been in your shoes.  (Unless we are talking purely about affordability) It *IS* an option if you find a way to make it sound temporary (just this year...).  You could say someone has a cold or cannot sleep or cries all night--you couple it with the, "just until Larla gets a little older and can sleep through the night..."  It could even be YOU with a cold, and you don't want to hack all night and get someone sick.

Or....turns out the toddler is super-allergic to dogs....

It CAN be done, OP. And if it's your DH's family and your DH is a wuss with his parents (which is very typical and is true in my case) it really still can be done.[/quote]
