I would kick out my kids no questions asked and I actually can't imagine my kids thinking grandma should sleep on the floor. I don't give up my master bedroom, but I guess I have a guest room and haven't had to. We got our kids queen beds just for guest overflow.

Seriously, I'm so glad I grew up in a culture where doing this wasn't even a question. If a relative needed my room I would sleep on a mattress on the floor in my parents' bedroom. I slept on the floor in my bedroom while my grandmother got my bed many times. And this was in a 5 bedroom house. The fondest memories of my childhood were holidays spent with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and all the cousins piled into one house with extra mattresses thrown everywhere possible.

That’s nice for you but her kids don’t want it so it wouldn’t be a fond memory. And if these are teen girls they should absolutely not be giving up bedrooms for unrelated men, that’s incredibly inappropriate.

They’re sharing a room so their aunt can sleep in a bed. A kid giving up a room for an aunt is completely normal in most families.

If their boys, and they want to, maybe. An unrelated man sleeping in a teenage girls bed? Not in my household.

I don't really see the issue, but maybe I'm used to visiting family who don't live in mansions, or having family visit me and sleep on the couch. It is what it is. It's nice to see family.

"SIL, I'm so sorry we don't have enough beds or space for you to stay at our house. I recommend the Holiday Inn located at xxx. It's nice and clean and is only xx minutes from us."

And then the person says "No, I'm staying at your house anyway even if there are no beds"?? How is this even a conversation?

This is a mystery to me too. I think OP should play it out like a game of chicken. It gets to be 10PM or so on the first night and.... what do they do?

Say Good night cheerfully and go to bed! The guests were told that a hotel works better but insisting on staying at the house can figure out their own bed situation.
