To think we can't have a pet-sitter when DSD is staying in our house?

Just arrived on holiday (which I organised) and DH announces that he's agreed that dsd (who is 18) will be staying in our house while we are away!

I had asked him to explain to her that it wouldn't be appropriate because I've arranged pet sitters - and because she has said she really wants friends over while we are on holiday. She is extremely unreliable and hasn't spent the night on her own before.

I have now had to call the pet sitter to cancel because I think it's just too WEIRD having an adult in the house who can't look after the pets. DH is worried because he says DSD is too immature to look after the pets.

I am really furious that he has just landed this on me now when we could have talked about this last week and got DSD prepared IF we agreed that she could stay.

Aibu? I just want to go home tbh.

Pets were fine - thank you! Neighbour came in and cleaned them out and fed them.

Relations have been frosty with DH and dsd. Won't go into details but DH is on a formal warning...

I am so pleased that your pets are OK, but I am also so sorry about your ruined holiday.
