I've been at work all day today, on my feet. I hadn't had a chance to sit down and had no break. I'm 31 weeks pregnant so although this is normal, it's getting harder.

So I come home hoping to sit on the sofa and relax for 10 minutes.

AIBU to be annoyed that dp's family are round being loud and I wasn't told they were round. His brother broke one of ds toys while play fighting with dp. It was an accident but he just laughed and found it funny that he'd broken it. I gave dp the glare! I find it really disrespectful.

There was no where for me to sit so I had to sit on the floor.

Now that I've written it out I feel like it's stupid to be annoyed and my hormones are playing up.

I'd have DP send his brother a message with instructions on where to find a replacement for the toy he broke.

I'm with you on needing advance warning about people being home. DH knows to send me a message if someone is over. I wind down on the drive home, or imagine my plans (bra off or bath etc etc) so he's get a "you know to warn me" conversation once they leave.

As for sitting on the floor while that heaving pregnant... you need to have a conversation with DP about that as well. He should have moved. If he wasn't on a chair you should have said something "I need to sit down, it's been a long day" and if not comfortable saying something to them all, your DP should have said something. Definitely not okay.

I'd be really peeved if I came home to a load of unexpected visitors! Its not that dh needs my permission,
its just having the basic courtesy to at least let me know what I'm coming home to. So that'd pee me of regardless of the rest of your OP! Yanbu.
Selfish arses.

Nothing wrong with DH having visitors so I think YABU on this point. They were gone by 8 so I don't think the noise should be regarded as more than a personal annoyance really. The toy point is a little bit iffy - depending on offer to replace/repair etc. They definitely should've offered you a seat or given you one upon you asking.

Any grown woman who tags a post and entitles it "to all my besties " is a bit odd anyway.

Sorry - on wrong thread!

Yanbu. I can sympathise about the seat situation. 3 days after having dd, dh whole family arrived and the same thing happened to me. They all took the comfy seats ( fil sat on the two pillows I had set up to cushion my poor mangled and stitched vajayjayHmm) and left me to sit on the floor. I don't know why I did it, it must have been the hormones as I would normally tell them to shift Blush

I don't think it is unreasonable to be warned about company. My DH would always let me know so I can get my 'game face' on. He knows I'd much rather come home and collapse on the sofa than entertain his family!

Xo90 · 09/03/2015 20:55

No there's nothing wrong with him having visitors, especially his family. Although his brother is here all the time! But I just would have liked to have known that his family would be over when I arrived home from work.

Please dont do the tidying up and the dishes. Let him do that.

LaurieFairyCake · 09/03/2015 21:39

Definitely not unreasonable.

I'd have been yelling 'get off my sofa fuck face, I want to sit down' the second I walked in the door.

Coupled with 'where's my fucking tea' and 'who ate all the cunting biscuits'.

IMO your not making enough out of being hugely pregnant
