AIBU to not want DH's boss to stay overnight

DH's boss works in Scotland and we're in London. DH suggested that we invite the boss over for dinner one evening when he's down here. I have no problem with this.

He then said that he'd get the boss to cancel his hotel reservation so he could stay over with us.... We don't have a spare room.... so I sweetly enquired as to where exactly he was thinking that the boss would sleep...

Apparently 'our room' or 'DS's room'. Personally I think that's seriously weird - to invite your boss to sleep in your own bed and turf your (pregnant) DW onto the sofa.

Particularly when the company will quite happily pay for a hotel.

DH was v. grumpy when I said 'no' and accused me of Being Unreasonable. So AIBU?

Thanks ladies - glad to have a unanimous response (don't think I've ever seen that on AIBU before :) )

Will show DH this thread

And FWIW I'm only 5 weeks pregnant not 'heavily pregnant' - but I think the logic still is valid...

Knitter 5 weeks is just as bad - you don't want to be chucking boss out of bathroom in the morning so you can throw up!

Congratulations on your probably still very secret pregnancy by the way xx

YANBU!

I first had misread your OP title to "AIBU to not want Dh's boss to stay overweight" wich I found a bit of a weird thing to be concerned aboutGrin

Seriously, to get you to sleep on the sofa while his boss sleeps in your bed is one of the most ridiculous ideas I have ever heard (and I have heard a few!)

I suspect you're going to have a 'full house' on this one, OP... Grin

No, no... and a thousand times NO!

Tell your DH it isn't going to help his career prospects any, his boss might assume he's a bit of a sycophant - and you need your bed. I'd make your DH sleep on the sofa though, just so he can get the feel of it. ;)

And point out to your DH that he will forever be much whispered/sniggered about around the water cooler...

I think your DH may have been watching too many re-runs of 'Terry and June'!

Do you really want your home to be a seventies sitcom in the morning?

If you do, be sure to arrange that your neighbour arrives at some inopportune moment while the boss is staring at your cleavage and your DH is stuck naked in the loo and a snake has escaped from a local zoo into your kitchen.
