AIBU sleeping arrangement

It’s time to accept that there isn’t room for you all to stay at your parents home at the same time. Either book a hotel to stay in or visit during a different weekend. Personally, I’d be wanting to avoid bank holiday traffic if it’s such a long drive.

I think you've reached the point were you do need to pay for a hotel @strawberrylemons

Why would you be on an airbed? You just need a single one for your husband. Or he can sleep on the sofa - your explanation for why he can’t doesn’t make much sense. Can he not wear pyjamas or something?

Though TBH it seems like you don’t want suggestions, you just want to complain about your sisters.

I’d just get a hotel

Yep. It's the perfect excuse.

Husband on the sofa. Job done.

I concur @Bloatstoat, the people demand a diagram!

I am sure it’s been suggested but I would consider clubbing together with your parents if possible for a cheap bunk bed maybe. You can use it again.

It's not that people don't belive, but because that set up is unusual, people have made suggestions until you've explained it clearly. Maybe the classic mumsnet diagram would have been useful in this case!

Best suggestion.

I thought so! What do you think @strawberrylemons?

I imagine if it was you that needed a bed, your sisters would be willing to give up theirs for you. But I don't think I blame them for refusing to do it for a perfectly healthy man (or woman).
You want him to be comfortable in your family home, but it isn't just YOUR family home, it's theirs too, and it is your parents' actual home. So their needs and wants matter too.
I understand the small house problems. My parents relocated to a 2 bed bungalow with 1 bathroom after living in a 4 bed, 3 bathroom house until my brother moved out (I left home before they moved there). Now for special occasions when we stay over (which is really not often these days), there are 8 of us staying in the bungalow. Mum and dad in their room, brother and his partner in the other bedroom, and then me, DP, and 2 kids (twins) sleep on the sofa/hallway on sofas/air beds/camp beds. Yes we are desperately uncomfortable, but we suck it up for one or two nights.
We can't afford a hotel, and we may as well just travel home instead.

In this situation I wouldn't be asking anybody to give up their beds for my DP, and he would be absolutely mortified if he knew I had asked on his behalf and be worried that my family would think it was him wanting this. He'd suck up being uncomfortable for a couple of nights, stay awake a couple of hours longer than he usually would. In the morning, if he was woken up by DM or someone walking through, he'd probably just get up and have a cup of tea and a chat with them. He's not a guest anymore, he's family. If he didn't get much sleep because he was uncomfortable, he might have a power nap in my room if time allows.

If this isn't something you're willing to accept, then it seems all of you staying over at your parents' house at the same time isn't an option for you anymore.

Bunk beds could be the answer. Scour Facebook, gumtree, Freecycle, etc and see if you can get one. You already have a single mattress, so will only need to purchase another one.

You sleep on the lower one and your husband sleeps on the top.

In a box room? They're rarely large enough to fit anything more than a single bed.

This is your introduction to parenting OP. Things change and you cant always have what you want. Just the way it goes.
So pick the least worst solution that doesn't upset your family and get on with it.

Honestly, you are the one sounding very upset about your sisters behaviour.

People are just pointing out the unreasonableness of your reasoning.
You are being difficult.

The obvious option is for your DH to sleep on the Sofa. He goes up to bed when he wants to check out from the late night family chats, moves to the sofa when you all retire for the night and heads back to your room when the house wakes. Plenty of privacy for him.

It really isn't that big of a deal. You really need to stop babying him. You are about to have a baby, he has bigger sacrifices to make heading his way.

Sleeping bag on the floor next to you. I appreciate there isn’t enough room for an airbed but surely he can squeeze himself in on the floor.

Really good suggestion!

Agree that husband can sleep on the sofa. Seems like the obvious solution to me given that sisters have their own bedrooms, and it is your husband who is really the "extra". Not sure why he has more need for privacy.

Or bring something for him to sleep on in your room. Unreasonable to kick your sisters out.

Mattress on the floor in your room for your husband or you and husband book a hotel?
While it would be nicer for you if one of your sisters gave up their bed so your husband had privacy, its not their responsibility. It's up to the two if you to consider whether the arrangements work for your circumstances, and if they don't, make other ones for yourselves.

And you can afford a hotel, you're just choosing not to.

If it's that essential, accept it's the sofa for DH or a hotel.
