Living with in-laws in US

Wanted to see if anyone's been in this position too. I have been living in US for 6 years, few years of married life and 1 year ago my in-laws came to visit us and now they do not want to leave.

I have respect for my wife's parents but I did not get married so that I have to live with her parents 

On the other hand, I feel myself to be a traditional guy and if my parents decide to come live with me, then I feel like my wife has to accomodate them since that is how a normal family works in Nepal. But my parents have no desire to come live here.

I find this a bit hypocritical that I don't want to live with her parents but would expect her to live with my parents, and feel awkward about talking about it but if they decide to stay here permanently then it's going to be tough.
