Not to want the 4 strange teenagers in my home this weekend?

DSS lives a long way away, but is visiting this weekend as the team he manages has a fixture in our town. He rang DH this morning to ask if 4 team members could stay with us too, as their accommodation has fallen through. I wasn't keen as I don't know any of them and don't really want 4 teenage boys in my home. I contacted a work colleague who lets her flat through Air BnB and she agreed a good rate. Sent the details to DSS. He has now texted to say can they all stay here anyway, as it would be cheaper. It's three nights. AIBU to say no?

' Yes they didn't have any cash and DH wanted to go home so he gave them £20 - not a problem, there's not really any other way to get back.'

Your DSS is 25, they pocketed the allowance and he hits up his dad for dosh to take his friend home after he belted him in the face, however accidental? He goes NC when your DH isn't doing what he wants? Your DH really needs to consider this dynamic.

Being tight cost them a night of sleep.

You're quite right expat. DH is held to ransom, and always caves. I am fed up of seeing him hurt or worried, and DCs too. They have a real bond with their DB, especially the older one, and he's spent no time at all with them this weekend.
This weekend needs to be a point of change.
