To not want strangers staying over in my house

[hoopyloopy2]

DH has invited his old friend & his new partner over to ours between Christmas & New Year. New partner’s teenager is coming too, who we haven’t met. All good with me so far. But DH wants them to stay the night. We don’t have a spare bedroom so this will involve sofa bed + moving one of my 2 dcs out of their rooms. The old friend lives 40 minutes away, so I don’t see why we can’t have a nice time for a few hours without the staying over part. I know it means a lot to DH to spend quality time with his friend. But I don’t want people I don’t know staying in my house and the awkwardness of shuffling people around. I’m not someone who never has anyone to stay, we have family and occasional very close friends overnight a few times a year. But this feels different and I think in our mid 40s we are past that stage of people bunking in together after a boozy night....but DH thinks I am being anti-social & uptight. AIBU?

You don't know them now but you might make new friends!

Sounds like great fun and it’s only one night! Let your hair down and enjoy yourself.

Thinking about it maybe if it was just your DHs friend coming over and one slightly awkward night in the living room. No need for anyone to move out of their bedroom.

I would not have a problem and would be welcoming to dh guests however and sleeping over means they can drink alcohol. I would not be moving children out of their bedrooms though and would put guests up on blow up bed in lounge and teen on sofa. It would not be sensible to put kids in lounge as adults will be up later than kids. Make sure they know they are sleeping in lounge in advance.
