A bit of background, we have 2 ds's aged 3 and 6mths. Ds1 is very demanding and clingy to me. He doesn't stop talking between 7am and 6 30pm. Ds2 still wakes once or twice a night (Dh and I share night feeds) and goes to bed between 8 and 9. I'm not a night owl and I need to be in bed by 10ish to not feel shit the next day, especially with getting up to feed ds2.
Today we went to visit some friends for lunch. It was hectic as usual and it's hard to hold an adult conversation juggling the needs of the kids. So dh suggested to the friends that they should come round one evening after the children are asleep. He didn't consult me of this plan. Frankly the last thing I want to do after ds2 goes to sleep (sometimes as late as 9pm) is entertain these friends with highbrow discussion about politics and then clear up when they leave (they are night owls!) Dh thinks I'm being unbending and stuck in my ways. I said I'd feel different once I can get ds2 in bed by 7 but as it is I don't have the energy but he's welcome to go out to see them. He's in a bit of a huff.

Inviting guests over at 9pm. Is it unreasonable?
