My husband and I are expecting our first child within days. Our families live 8 hours away. We invited our parents to come and stay at our house while we are in the hospital so they can meet the new baby. My inlaws have a German Shepherd, and I politely told them I preferred that they don't bring him this time because of the new baby (I have allergies and am worried about the baby being allergic, and he sheds, I want the house clean, etc. etc.) MIL said she couldn't come then b/c they can't put dog in a kennel because of one bad experience with a past dog, and she doesn't trust my 35yo brother in law to watch the dog. So, basically we left it at that- either I let the dog come, or they CAN'T come. Then my FIL suggested that I find them a hotel that allows pets, so I found several and that was the plan. Well now MIL told DH that she's afraid there is no place to let the dog out at hotel! She asked if she could sleep in garage with dog. I feel trapped by guilt. What should I do
