[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can the OP come back and answer why the discussion is around kids losing their room? All the kids wouldn’t be displaced for 2 married grandparents. But more importantly- why aren’t the grandparents the ones that are sleeping in the living room? I know you mentioned a baby, but if you have other kids under say 7, it would best to them to stay in their own room. So if the grands have to stay - they stay in the living room. [/quote]

OP here. Fair question. Our home is a super open floorplan. Grandpa is a night owl and can’t fall asleep without the tv  blaring. He likes to watch movies as he dozes off, and it is so absurdly loud. He also prefers not to be near stairs. 
Grandma is an early bird, and starts bustling around in the wee hours of the morning. Now we have two adults in our living room making noise on different schedules.

Yes, hosting is tiring. Yes, the tv turned at max volume watching CSI whatever on an endless loop for hours adds to it. No, we don’t all have grandparents that actively help or watch the children. What else can I answer?[/quote]

OP, the bottom line is that you just don’t like them and they annoy the hell out of you.  So whatever.  This is tiresome. [/quote]

No!  The OP simply needs some routine in their family's life, and that includes everyone being able to actually sleep nightly.  I cannot imagine going to someones home and blaring the TV until all hours, you watch on an ipad with earplugs or you get a hotel.  You also dont get up and make noise at 5am (grandma) while waking everyone else up.  If you cannot have some manners, you stay in a hotel.  OP is in the right, expecting common courtesy from guests
