How to tell relatives they should go home after Thanksgiving weekend
I know it's delicate, and it should've been agreed beforehand, but I t'm in an impossible situation. My husband invited some elderly relatives over for Thanksgiving, and they're still sticking around three days later. We have a pretty spacious property in the PNW, but it's honestly a hassle to have them around the house all the time. I don't want to start a fight with my husband, especially in front of our kids. To be honest, his elderly relatives are only passive-aggressively homophobic. They seem to be ok spending Thanksgiving with two openly gay men and their adopted sons, which isn't easy for these Silent Generation types so all credit for that. I just can't stand having them around. My husband's aunt is in her 80s has fecal continence issues.. We had Thanksgiving dinner at 4PM sharp. By the time it was 6 PM i tried to hint that she might use the restroom in advance, but she mumbled some bullshit and refused and played the 'doddering old lady' crap. Punctually, at 6:30 she melted. She let out two violent sharts and wrecked my Italian silk upholstered chair. My eldest son, who was back home from Reed College, said, "Fuck, bro, it stinks like shit in here." Meanwhile my husband's aunt was pouring out inhuman quantities of dark brown slurry onto my Kashmir rug. The smell was absolutely vile and a couple of the guest actually had to puke. Of course, as a good host, I pretended to be concerned for her wellbeing when all I wanted was for her to die as quickly as possible.
Next day I made turkey meatballs in a marinara sauce and she proceeded to eat ten (!) at lunch. Cue to another episode of spastic flatus followed by an almighthy fecal deflagration. This she did in the downstairs restroom. The senile old cow left the door open flooding the hallway with the toxic odor of her decrepit bowels. I've had enough. My husband's uncles and father (all in their 80s) are shambling, gibbering wrecks, who constantly complain about all the same bullshit everyday and intimidate our sons. And they keep raiding my fridge. Honestly, I'm glad I'm estranged from my family. My daddy was a vile, abusive drunk, and he died recently. My mother died years ago of the diabetes. I do not speak to my surviving uncles, who were complicit in the brutal sexual, psychological and physical abuse I suffered as a child.
Anyway, how do I get these people out of my house without offending my husbear?

I don't get the people doubting my honest question. This is the first time I had to deal with 'sticky' guests. Most of my friends know when to leave at a reasonable time.

I'm usually the first one to say fuck off but I laughed so hard at the words "brown slurry" and "turkey meatballs" in the same story.
Bravo, OP

I had a similar urinary problem with my mom when we took her out of her home to a hotel in Kennebeck, I had to tear out the shower curtain and jamb it under her to save the couch.

R16 we recently hired a houseboy who was very obliging in helping me clean everything up. The chair had to be thrown away, but we're trying to save the carpet. Thankfully we put rubber lined sheets in her bedroom.

Anyone with elderly relatives will understand OP's story is perfectly plausible. Lots of estranged kweens here who are still avoiding their families.

We actually had to interrupt sex with my husband because of these unwanted guests. My husbear was fingering my filth trench and I moaned homosexually as his fingers were inhaled by my craving mancunt. Then one of my husbear’s unclean started bellowing gibberish at the top of his lungs and banging his head against the door. He was having a senior moment! Total bon3r killer.

Look up a restaurant by this person’s home, or other activity. After activity, drop them at home.
Oh my god, we have been dying to try this restaurant (or do this activity). Can we take you there, before we take you home?

It's not a classic; by the time he said he lived in the PNW in the third sentence, I knew it was going to be a jumble of DL current topics and old ESTs, which it is.
I suggested to OP a few weeks ago that he try harder and honestly, I appreciate that there was some effort made this time, but it was too obvious. It's basically DL Madlibs.

Seriously these senile old psychos are fucking scary. One of my husbear’s uncles started shrieking in the middle of the night and banging his head against the fucking wall. The guest bedroom is right next to ours so when I’m about to chow down on my husbear’s taint I don’t want to hear an octogenarian nutbag screaming “Is that Beulah, where the fuck is Beulah? You there Johnson?” He bellowed and banged his head against the wall for half an hour until my husbear had to go in there and force feed him some zopiclone. I have to deal with insane senior moments every hour.
My husbear’s aunt had another attack of explosive diarrhea and started shrieking, “you ready, Jefferson, this load’s extra rank and extra special!” I have no ducking clue who the fuck Jefferson is but if this psycho hag doesn’t fuck off and die I’m going to fucking flip.
