It has been arranged for about 6 weeks for DP's family (who don't get together very often) and the friends he grew up with to come over tomorrow night for Christmas drinks and nibbles. We got engaged last weekend so have now extended the invitation to my friends and family.

However DS (10 months) and I have been feeling ill all week with a viral infection and I've had next to no sleep as DS hasn't been sleeping well. DS is going to my mum's tomorrow afternoon but I will have to clean the house/ get ready for party rather than catching up on sleep.

I have mentioned to DP about canceling but he has just said to see how I feel tomorrow. I just want to cancel it now so I can relax and DS can get a good night's sleep tomorrow night. We still have all of DP's family coming over on Saturday for a fake Christmas day. We have a pub 2 minutes from us where DP could meet everyone if he still wants to see everyone.

YABU and a bit wet.

Stop talking yourself out of it. If you're not particularly infectious i.e. d and v and just a bit tired suck it up. Sorry but that's how I see it

His family may well have turned down other events to come and see you, as could friends. If it is effectively your engagement party it would be really crap of you to send them all to the pub so you could catch up on a bit of sleep.

Go to bed now.

why not have your partner do all the cleaning and getting ready for the party and you just sleep?

Then you will feel rested, the stuff will all be done and you won't have to cancel something at the last minute.

I wouldn't cancel, but I would make dh take the afternoon off work to do all the organizing.

I thought I was BU - just feeling tired and grumpy. I will make DP come home earlier or guests will just have to accept messy house!
