My uncle, who I haven't seen since I was 10, is visiting from South Africa later this month. He wants to see me and meet DH and DD, which I would really love!
He is here for a few weeks and staying at different people houses at different times to save on hotel costs. Our family are mainly in a town about 2 hours drive from where I live, and this is mainly where he'll be staying.
He's bringing his son with him, my cousin, who I've never met.
My mum has offered him to stay at my house, told him "I'm sure IsChippy would be fine with that" and he has made plans to stay for 2 nights (didn't ask or check I just got a text saying when he'd be coming to stay)
Problem is I haven't seen him in so long (20 years) and haven't met my cousin so I'm not that comfortable with letting him stay. The nights he's planned to stay I'm at work the next day (can't take time off at such short notice) and DH works full time from home so wouldn't be convenient for them to be alone at ours during the day.
Plus our house is 3 bedroom, but 1 bedroom is ours, 1 is DDs and 1 is DHs office, so we have no spare bed. This would mean we'd have to find a camp bed of some sort and let them bunk in either the living room or DHs office.
WIBU to call him and say can he make other sleeping arrangements? I feel bad as he's on a budget! I can always offer to come to him in the town he's staying in 2 hours away, will save him petrol!
