I live in an area which traditionally makes fireworks night a huge deal. Theres a carnival type thing in the evening, and several fireworks display with one main. Last year 60,000 people attended. My house is a stones throw away from the main fireworks and my front door is where these 60,000 people go past to get to it.
My road is closed off for the night and as you can imagine, its mayhem. The displays stop at 10-11ish but people let bangers off left right and centre all night.
With two young children very scared of fireworks, each year I upsticks for the night and take them elsewhere. No problem.
Except today my partner who does not live with me said he was going to the display this year. No problem!
But can his 25 year old niece and her bf of 3 months crash in my front room.
Because they want to come and they live an hour away.
I said no chance. And he thinks Im really unfair.
My reasons - I dont want to leave my home but I have to. I dont want anyone else in my home when its my children and I that should be in it.
I dont want 3 muddy, pissed people falling through my door. One of which is a perfect stranger.
I dont want a young, new couple potentially fucking on the floor where my children play.
I dont mind DP staying but not the others. AIBU like DP thinks?
Disclaimer, my children and DP's children too. So he gets the night off.
(For the nosey people who want to know, we dont live together because we split up for 18 months a few years ago and currently wating for both our tennancys to expire and were moving in together again.)
