Aibu to not want to show my sister our bedroom

First house, a long time coming. We’ve now been in for a couple of months. My sister is coming over tomorrow. I don’t want to show her our bedroom (plus shower room). Now that it’s been lived in for a bit it feels like dh and my private space.

It’s not anything to do with not trusting her or whatever but I just don’t want anyone but me and dh in there. Aibu?

If not how do I tell her ‘it feels too private to let you in’.

It’s your decision but it’s a bit odd.

IABURQO · 26/10/2018 18:30

That's quite a strange attitude, YABU for that. Are you pregnant and having a hormonal nesting thing going on?

Regardless, if you don't want to show someone rooms in your house then you don't have to, perhaps just say it's too messy or something.

I could u derstand it if she was just a neighbour, but your sister? Really? I doubt that the main thing she will be thinking is that this isn't where my sister and her OH do their shagging 😂😂😂

VisitorsEntrance · 26/10/2018 18:32

If you don’t show her she’s only going to imagine it’s a porn dungeon with a sex swing

Littlelambpeep · 26/10/2018 18:32

Slightly odd really but I would just say it's a mess really and leave it at that if you don't want to show her. How unusual is the bedroom?

MonteCarla · 26/10/2018 18:32

Rather bizarre

LoniceraJaponica · 26/10/2018 18:33

Sorry, but you are being a bit precious.

user1483387154 · 26/10/2018 18:33

That is very odd

CrazyOldBagLady · 26/10/2018 18:33

If you’re happy for rumours to emerge that you’ve converted it into a sex dungeon, crack on.

Leeds2 · 26/10/2018 18:33

If you don't want to, you don't have to. Although given that it is your sister, I think it is a bit odd.
Fwiw, I had several friends ask if they could have a tour when I moved in to my new home, and they were always very put out when I refused. I don't like people going upstairs!

Cheekyandfreaky · 26/10/2018 18:33

Why not? I am not at all territorial about space though.

ElainaElephant · 26/10/2018 18:33

I get you op. I don't like other people being in my bedroom - and no shagging has ever gone on there as I moved here when I left my ex. It's my space.

I don't think YABU.

DragonMamma · 26/10/2018 18:34

I’d think it’s really weird tbh. It’s your sister...

werideatdawn · 26/10/2018 18:34

Hmm weird

Willow789 · 26/10/2018 18:34

Weird?

bastardkitty · 26/10/2018 18:34

Do you think she's going to copy it?

SendintheArdwolves · 26/10/2018 18:35

I kind of know what you mean - a friend was showing me around her newly decorated house, and when we got to her and her husbands bedroom, I had a moment of "Eek, I feel a bit weird about being in your private space".

DollyWilde · 26/10/2018 18:35

Yeah, sorry, odd. But then my sister sleeps in our bed (with fresh sheets ofc) when she cat sits as it’s comfort than the spare.

twattymctwatterson · 26/10/2018 18:35

I don't think you're being unreasonable but you're definitely being a bit odd

DollyWilde · 26/10/2018 18:35

*more comfortable

InspectorIkmen · 26/10/2018 18:35

Weird at a whole new level of weird. Also attention seeking.

AGHHHH · 26/10/2018 18:35

It's not a sex dungeon. Blush

Anythingforacatslife · 26/10/2018 18:35

Yes it’s odd.

AGHHHH · 26/10/2018 18:35
Confused
MrsVietor · 26/10/2018 18:36

She's only going to peek round the door and go 'oh, very nice' then head to the kitchen for a coffee, surely?
