[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe the disdain that so many of you have for your families. My family would definitely figure out a way to make it work so that we all sleep under one roof (especially for the kids - slumber parties are the best with cousins!). When I've had a full house I've always given the master bedroom to the parents/parents in law and there have been times that DH and I have slept on the couch or an air mattress in our basement. It's a few days, it's not a life sentence. People need to ease up. It definitely seems like OP just doesn't like her in-laws being around and wants to kick them out to the hotel. In-laws understandably want to be under the same roof with grandkids. When we all have get togethers the grandkids/grandparents are the first ones up and it's such fun time for them to hang out before the parents get up (and gives parents a break!). Unless OP is in a 2 bedroom/1bath house there is no way they can't figure this out for a couple days.

OP - come back and share how many bedrooms/bathrooms you have and what types of common space and I bet we can figure out an arrangement that works. [/quote]
Eh, unless you come from a culture that prioritizes the elders over everyone else, I think it’s human nature to want to have a good time with same age, infrequent guests rather than a different generation that keeps different hours, doesn’t want to do the same activities, and are already frequent guests.[/quote]
