I'm probably being just a little too sore on this subject but my Dad is somewhat disabled as well. Helping him get in and out of the car takes about fifteen minutes and he needs a lot of room to move around in. That's probably why the parents decided to rent the hotel room, with the handicapped ramps and all.
I mean, there's a lot of give and take in relationships. You love someone, you recognize their needs and you put them ahead of yours. But seriously, if my significant other EVER started complaining about what a hassle my Dad is, I'd end that relationship right then and there. And really. The LW has to realize that having the in-laws over to stay is a normal part of married life. If the "wonderful guy" has no problem with this situation, it's up to her to grin and bear it.
