Have a vent.
My DH and I have planned to go to a concert locally. We've seen the act before and they were really good. It was hit or miss if I'd be well enough to go last time but I pushed myself and had a lovely evening. We've not been out to any shows and rarely socialise outside the house because of my condition so I was really looking forward to going to see this act again.
My DH mentioned that maybe his mum and her partner would like to come with us (it's a folky type act that's quite well known.)
I agreed they might even though they are both quite deaf so he phoned there and then and invited them.
Now I'm thinking about it and feel like it's going to seriously dampen the nice evening out. Looking after an elderly couple on a rare night out when I'm only slightly better than I was last time I went is making me feel a bit low.
I was looking forward to some good music and maybe a beer.
There is a small chance they won't be able to make it as they have family coming over visit who haven't booked flights etc yet....should I live in hope or ask DH to lie and tell them we couldn't get tickets and just go ourselves? DH probably hasn't even considered that I wouldn't want them to come. I get on fine with them and they'd most likely enjoy themselves too. If they do come it means making dinner and having them stay overnight which on top of going out will probably be too much for me and I'll need a few days to recover. I'm not being selfish am I?
