A younger relative (on my DH's side) has asked to come and stay with us 'while she looks for a base', for 'a week or two' from monday. We have a spare room but our house is tiny (feels too small for the 2 of us and our 6mo DD), I am here in the day time with DD and hate the thought of someone else being here as well, and feeling like I can't just be completely relaxed in my own home. DH works long hours so it wouldn't affect him as much. I don't want to be cruel and just say no, but I am also really worried about 1 or 2 weeks turning into 3 or 4. There is also the financial implication of having someone else to feed/ hot water etc - I doubt any contribution will be offered. Oh I feel like a really horrible person for just wanting to say, no, sorry it's not convenient. But the thought of it makes my heart sink. I am so tired with DD waking in the night etc that I really, massively value totally chilled out evenings/ weekends with DH. I know how selfish I sound!
