[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sibling C gets the guest room and sibling B gets the couch (or, like a PP mentioned, pick up an aerobed -- they are only like $50 for a queen size and much more comfortable). Otherwise, sibling with toddler can only visit until the beginning of the bedtime routine (usually like 7pm) when they will have to go back to hotel, which means even having dinner plans is hard -- if they are staying in the guest room, they can simply bathe and put the toddler down and everyone can relax and enjoy each others' company until the adults go to sleep (usually a good 3-4 additional hours).

Really, this.  Toddlers go to bed earlier than adults (usually, anyway).  So if you want to be able to spend more time together as a family, then the toddler needs to be able to go to bed at your house.  I'd get a comfy aerobed and a special treat for the single sibling--stock their favorite drink or snack, make their favorite breakfast, whatever, to say thanks.  Also, they get to kick everyone out of the living room when they want to go to bed and no one can gripe or linger.  [/quote]
