DH's mother is visiting us from USA next month, we are booking a yurt to stay in for a weekend, all of us, to celebrate DHs birthday. He has not celebrated with her for many many years.
The yurt has one large comfy double bed (kingsize i think) with woodburner at the end, it is a lovely bed (we have been before several times so know this!). It also has 2 good sized double wooden futon beds, good quality, comfortable, on the other side of the woodburner.
DD will have one of the futon beds, and DH says that MIL should have the other one.
Now, she is in relatively good health. She is lively and energetic, fit and quite young for her age. However, she is 77 years old, 78 this year. She has just had two hip replacements over christmas, and before that a cochlear implant, so 3 lots of evasive surgery, so while still good for her age she is getting older now and more frail.
I said I thought she should have the big bed, just to spoil her a bit (she is also paying for the yurt as a birthday treat for DH), as she has never stayed in one before, and will love it, and we have stayed there before, much younger and able to comfortably sleep on a lower futon.
DH says, 'No Way!'
AIBU or just too nice and let her sleep on the futon?
