Nesting

[Southern_Charm]

So this is my second baby. I have an almost 4 year old and live in a 3 bedroom house.  My in laws live out of town about 2 hours away. They normally stay in the spare room but I am desperately wanting to convert it into a "big girl" room for my daughter and prepare her old room for the new baby. My MIL put a guilt trip on my husband by saying "where will we sleep?". They only come up 3 to 4 times per year and  want us to make them share a room for their convenience.  My husband feels bad and won't say no to his mom but we live here, not them. Am I being selfish?

No, they are

Make your home work for your immediate family the way you want it. When they come visit, your children could share a room temporarily. Maybe keep an air mattress on hand if needed. This can be win/win for all involved.   : )

No way! Your home, your bills, your rooms, you do as you please. That's ridiculous of her to think you'd make the kids share a room for their convenience.

No way. They are being selfish for asking you to keep a room from functioning the way you see fit... if you want to give your daughter the room then do it... they can deal with it or stay in a hotel

You only make kids share a room for your own convenience, like if you want a room as an office.
The in-laws can sleep in the living room.
You should see where my parents stay when they visit my brothers.
My in-laws own our house, they tried to make us use grandpa's ugly furniture. I said hell no. They also tried to make us keep a room for them, since we live closer to the City, they wanted a crash pad....I got a fold out day bed in my office. They haven't stayed over once in over a year...

Thank you ladies. I just think nesting is an important part of getting ready.
