WIBU to have to unexpectedly stay super late at work? The real kicker is that SIL has a phobia of dogs so my best pal, DDog, has had to stay at a (very nice dog loving) colleagues house . Should I just go with the dog?!
Honestly, I get on well with the family but it's just so much. It's DSD2's bday this week and the first time we've had her for it so I understand everyone wants to be here. But for two weeks?! Argh
Anyone got any tips how to deal with so many guests? I'm running out of towels 🤣
YADNBU! My in laws travel from another country to stay and do so for longish periods! I find all manner of reasons to stay in work late or plan nights with the girls (to allow them all some time to ‘catch up’ without me) or just do a REALLY LONG visit to Aldi!
DH's ex moved with DSDs back to her home country when they split up so his family don't get to see the girls very often. DH loves having everyone here and so do the girls.
I am staying with family soon. And in their garage annexe which is completely self contained. And it's just me.
But I am STILL going to make myself scarce and take myself out and not be under their feet all the time. It's not nice for them to feel they have to actively "host" me when I am quite capable.
I can't think of much worse than your house guests all cramped in together for such a long time!
To quote Benjamin Franklin "Guests like fish begin to smell after three days" and is the rule I use when visiting family etc. OP I feel your pain and your poor Ddog being removed from their home too!
. Should I just go with the dog?! 
and 
for you!
