AIBU to think I should be able to sleep in my own bed

...when the outlaws visit, especially when there are 2 perfectly good single beds and I have work the next day (especially after I told DH to tell his parents they were sleeping in the single beds). Grrr... DH thinks I am making an issue because I am pee'd off with his parents over something else (which again involves them being selfish muppets with no consideration for anyone but themselves)

Had to come to work today wearing DH deodorant as I forgot to get mine out of our bedroom and god forbid we wake them!

She doesn't like you around and gets jealous if your own child gives you a cuddle???!!! Shit! There's no way I would put up with such pathetic behaviour or let my dc stay with her if I were you so you are a saint! How do you d it? She - your mil - sounds like a real twat!

YANBU Your MIL sounds childish and ridiculous, being jealous of DC cuddling their mum Hmm

you have a problem with your h. I had a similar problem re putting his parents first above dc's need and my needs. it is not fun. not sure how you can get through to h though. (sorry, not helpful but hopefully sympathetic)

Is DH an only child? Or is he the only son?

There is a reason I'm thinking this, but again could be way out....

Oooh not good! So your MIL doesn't like you in the way with your own children and wants to sleep in the "marital bed". Yuck, sounds like she wants to be the mother in your family instead of you!

Eyebrows agree with you entirely.

YANBU. Guests stay in the guest room. We would yield our bed to someone older than us if we had a full house and someone needed to sleep on the inflatable mattress but it has never come to that (we have only had that many people staying once and my husband's brother who is in the army and used to roughing it took the airbed then). In your PIL's shoes I would feel awful about someone giving up their own bed for me, particularly if there was a perfectly good alternative available.

Yuck yuck yuck!

I did let in-laws stay in our bed once. This was because they had bought small nephew with them too, and our room was the only one big enough for a cot as well. I didn't want to get woken up by small nephew at silly-o-clock, so generously let them have our bed (and the early wake-up).

They do usually stay in a hotel, though.
