My in-laws are coming to visit. We have offered to put them in lodging, but my father-in-law insists we have enough room. We already have my husband's youngest brother (grown, without steady employment) living with us; the in-laws are bringing three small children of whom are disciplined differently than our own three. My husband feels bad about telling them they cannot stay with us because they "do so much for us." They do not finance us in any way, only act as any parents do. They do not understand when we tell them that it is too many people in our home. If it can work for them to have people visit their home, it can and will work for us as well, according to the father-in-law. My husband does not truly want to have them stay here either. He does not want to create tension because his parentsd are older, and not all too well. Any advice on how to delicately handle this matter?
