My db died 8 weeks ago Sad
My parents also are dead, so it's only me left from my family.
Pils are coming mid April. To be fair they stay in a b&b round the corner.
Dh works a lot of evenings so he thinks it's ok to leave me to entertain pils in the evenings.
I have to get up for work at 5.30am. Pils insist on staying here to watch the 10pm news even though they could watch it at the b &b Confused
Dh is upset because I've told him he needs to cancel work engagements and be here to entertain his parents.
My grief is too raw, I can't play happy families when my own are no longer with me and its too soon after I lost my db.
Aibu to tell dh he needs to be here in the evenings to entertain his parents?

So sorry for your loss op.
Tell him. Tell his parents.
I'm not very confrontational so would be more inclined to change my shifts to lates if at all possible or make sure I go straight out from work and come home late.

I am so sorry for your loss. I completely understand that entertaining dh's family will hit hard. To be honest, even without your bereavement Intnk it's a pisstake to have to entertain until 11 when you have to be up at 5. I'd be going to bed to chill be about half 8/9. It's rude of your Phil to expect this and very inconsiderate of your dh. Take care of yourself and I hope dh listens and helps you.
