to not want to have to entertain inlaws

[PunkrockerGirl]

In-laws are coming to stay for a week. They are fine apart from making the most colossal fuss about everything. DH does work 2 evenings a week who are non negotiable, other evenings could be changed just for that week. They don't stay with us but in a b&b round the corner.

My gripe is that I work from 6.30-4.30 every day in a very stressful job. I am prepared to entertain pils for the 2 nights that dh had to work despite the fact that they won't go round to the b&b till after the sodding news at 10 even though they know I have to be up at 5.30 in the morning. Anyway, should I tell dh that he needs to reorganize his work stuff for the other nights (he can do this).
WWYD?

Oh gawd your kids are grown... Yell them to feck off

As someone who goes to bed very early during the week I would not be happy about visitors staying as late as that. I need my rest.

If they must watch the news surely they can watch it back at the b&b.

When my family comes to stay or I stay with them, I never feel bad about slipping off to take a nap or go for a walk.

Everyone likes to have their own space for a bit each day, if they're truly good people they'll understand you wanting to go to bed or needing to go to the gym or something.

You don't have to entertain them. They can figure out how to grab take aways.

Blimey just tell them you have to go to bed at whatever time, then do it!

They don't need to be "entertained"!

What are they going to do while you're at work until 4.30?

If you have to be up at 5.30 and need 7-8h sleep (like most of us), then you need to be in bed at 9.30. They need to be gone by 9 to allow you to get ready and wind down. If your DH isn't even going to be there and they just want to sit in front of the news surely they can do that at a B&B?

You should not work a 10h shift in a stressful job on low sleep - well, obviously you can because lots of us do. But I find that when I've had poor sleep the night before my concentration suffers badly the next day.

Tell them that you'll be heading up to bed at 8.30-9ish and while they're welcome to stay to watch TV etc could they keep the volume down so it doesn't disturb you and say a cheery night night :)

Yes he should arrange but you are so lucky they are in a B and B. My inlaws come in for two weeks, and stay with us, I'm a SAHM and I entertain for two weeks ALL day!

I finally convinced them to come in summer when dc is home!! But it's still two weeks at our home, a B and B would be heaven!!

Yes at least that are staying in a b & b! Fortunately we don't have the space for them to stay here. It would make more sense to come when we're not working, they usually do, but there's a specific event at the weekend that we're all attending. Dh is a teacher so can't take time off and I'm definitely not going to use my precious annual leave to look after them! Gosh I sound mean - they are lovely, generous people. It's dh I have the gripe with really, not them.
