My pal and I have been best friends for about 12 years but 5 yrs ago I moved 250 miles away to where my DH is from so we can raise the DC there. My friend and I made great promises of seeing each other every 6 weeks or so but you know how it is - we've each got 2 kids each so its hard. But we always chat on the phone and we still feel closer to each other than any other friend we see more regularly. I've probably made about 5 trips to see her and she's been up once.
We've still got quite a few friends where we used to live so are excitedly planning a road trip in half term (2 wks time) and staying with 4 sets of friends. Anyway, my best friend sent me a text last night asking if we could stay in a hotel when we are due to stay with them as they are still playing musical beds as their youngest is 8 months old. I called but got voice mail so left a message to say that we would all be happy in one of the 2 downstairs rooms as we are coming armed with blowup beds so we could all camp away from them upstairs - I did say a hotel is not a problem as well though, not meaning it but was a bit taken aback and didn't want her to feel awkward. Anyway she texts again this morning to say that one of the rooms down stairs it filled with boxes and she often ends up downstairs in the other room if the little one is not sleeping to let her DH rest as he's busy at work.
A hotel would be OK but its not the same as chilling with a glass of wine once the kids are in bed and just mooching around in the morning have a nice relaxed chat over a cup of tea and toast . Also my DH lost his job in december so I dont really want to be forking out for 2 nights in a hotel.
Am i being unreasonable to be pissed off that we are making this effort with 2 young kids and they can't risk her DH being tired for one or 2 nights if the baby is restless and they stay upstairs. By the way the baby has her own room, as does their older daughter and her DH has only recently been away on a ski trip with his mates so he can't be that busy at work.
I know its her house and her decision but I know I wouldn't do that... so, am i being unreasoable?
