[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like there are a lot of entitled boomer grandparents posting on here Op. Grandparents/family should want to help and lighten the load of the parents, not be catered to and put on a pedestal. 5 days is too much for any type of visit and your kids need their rooms. Letting your kids share a bed with a grandparent?! What?! That is beyond crazy. [/quote]

Yet another poster attacking an entire generation indiscriminately while ignoring the fact that every next generation poster on here is nasty AF.

Nasty because our parents (now boomers) took no responsibility in raising us and could not care what happened to us and now want us to lay down at their feet and do what they want. They did not want the respect they think they are entitled too. My sister or my friends could come stay in my room and I would sleep on the couch but my parents and ILs can F off to a hotel. [/quote]

I can’t wait until your kids treat you exactly the same way.  Which they will.  Because you’re modeling the behavior for them.  [/quote]

I'm a young boomer parent and just got back from a trip to the West Coast, where DH and I visited our son and daughter-in-law. They have an extra bedroom and we stayed in a hotel. That way we had our own space and we could all see each other frequently for fun things and good meals, but not be in each others' faces all the time.[/quote]

+1 We do what our kids ask of us, when we visit.  They both have guest rooms, so we typically stay in their homes.  But prior to kids/marriage, we didn't sleep on their bed and make them sleep on the sofa---we stayed in a hotel nearby.
