Breakfast guests

[LadySlipper11]

DH has just told me, at 10 to 8 at night, that we are having some old friends of his over tomorrow for breakfast! At 8am! This from the man who NEVER gets up to do our DS breakfast feed at 6.30/7am. But he can get up for people he hasnt seen for 8 years, that I have never met! I am full of rage. But perhaps IABU as I'm knackered and hormonal!

Oh great. He'll be making it I assume since he's invited them

Just continue as normal- this is his problem, not yours. I'd be raging though.

Send him to meet friends at local cafe, to be up and presentable and making conversation with acquaintances at 8am is really pushing it.

Is he cooking? Is he spending Saturday night tidying up and getting the house guest read?

YANBU. I would not be happy. If they were mutual friends I'd like to see I'd probably be quite chilled about it, but couldn't be bothered being up, presentable and catering to people I'd never met by 8am with no notice. I hope he's got a plan to feed them; it's not like any shops are open that early.

He’s catering for them I presume? Or is he expecting you to.

I’d be up and dressed and ready to ;eave the house at a quarter to eight if he hasn’t planned and bought and is willing to prepare this lovely breakfast.

What a pollock you married!

Erm, no you haven’t married a fish. He’s a pillock

I can't think of anything worse than breakfasting with strangers at 8am on a Sunday. Stay in bed!

"Fantastic! That means i can have a nice lie in while you sort out your friends and your children. I'm sure they'll enjoy meeting them."

Is he expecting you to cook?

There is nothing that would entice me (other than when the DC were small) to get up in time to eat someone else has made, never mind make breakfast for guests at that time on a Sunday.

As pp's have said I presume having extended the invitation he's going to shop for it and make it?

Or if I guess rightly he's telling you at 7.40 pm to give you the opportunity to wave your wifely magic wand and make it all happen? Fucker.

He can google a local cafe and meet them there (and being home a bacon sarnie for you to eat later).

Stay in bed and let him get on with it

That’s early for a Sunday, why so early?
Have you got food in or do you have a Tesco garage that serve pastries nearby?
This would send me in to such a flap, definitely leave it for him to sort.

Thank god its not just me thats enraged! Fuck it, I'll stay in bed and get him to bring my breakfast up to me! Stupid bugger.

That is outrageous! Who would even accept an invitation for breakfast at 8am?!?

He’d be missing his testicles if he was my H!

Seriously, he needs to meet them in a cafe or whatever.

Do not engage in this complete and utter CFery/fuckwittery!!!

You might be being a little U if he’s told you that he’s invited friends over and is going to prepare a lovely breakfast spread for everyone but he forget to give you more warning. YANB at all U if he’s informing you people are coming and it will be up to you to sort everything out for everyone.

haha @bitterandonlyslightlytwisted pillock indeed! or pollock. both apply to this ridiculous situation.

WTAF !
8am on a Sunday ?
Tell him to crack on and stay in bed.
Do not get up and cook OP please.

I'm presuming he's busy cleaning, and he'll be shopping later. Send the kids down to him in the morning. If he moans you can say you usually do breakfast and look after the kids, surely he's capable.

Excellent, so he's making breakfast for you and them, then? Enjoy your breakfast in bed, @LadySlipper11!

Is he expecting you to sort it all out?

Would do FA and tell him, 'Great! Up you get!' and leave him to it. And then do that. Walk the walk. Don't be guilted into this. Fuck that.

IIWY I would carry on entirely as normal. And if they look surprised or pass comment when you emerge, I'd just breezily say 'Oh! Dh told me you were coming at 8pm last night. I assumed he was joking, obviously.'
