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]

We have weekend guests- although usually 2 or 3 nights (if they get in late Thursday or Friday night its then 3 nights but more like 2 full days). About once a month. We have 3 'sets' of grandparents and we live away from all of them. Intergenerational bonds are something that I find really important though so the visiting is something I welcome because we don't live near them, if we did, it would be easier on me (in the sense of hosting, etc) to impart that value, but since we choose to live elsewhere if I want them to have time together, this is it.

I will say though, we don't really host anymore- they pitch in a lot and help out a lot when here.[/quote]
