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!

What happened eventually was that people no longer came to the house
Im not sure what the issue is with this ?
My idea of bliss 😍

You spund like my mother. Full of rage at the jdea of guests. What happened eventually was that prople no longer came to the house. Will it kill you to send him out for bread and eggs?

Will it kill you to RTFT?

You are up anyway. It might make a nice change to have company at breakfast time. Who knows the guests might be fun, and appreciative, with interesting wedding tales and completely change the atmosphere in the house.

Yes, OP! Send him out for bread and eggs now to be used at 8am this morning...

Who on Gods earth wants company at breakfast time?
I like eating in peace and quiet, not listening to people I dont know yapping about a wedding (!) Ive not been too.

Good update @LadySlipper11 don’t let him slip back to his old ways. Take turns at the weekend for lie ins

Well done OP.

Make sure he takes a turn at weekends from now on.

I would be incandescent if DH did this. I'm an introvert and after a busy week in the office, I am craving quiet time like oxygen. Weekend mornings are for drinking coffee and reading the papers in perfect silence. I can actually feel my battery recharging.

Still haven't bothered to RTFT, Scar, it's all moved on by now. She's only up then because her husband leaves her to it with the kids so this time she left him to it.

Personally I fucking hate mornings. I like quiet and peace in the mornings. If DH had done this, he'd be on his tod with it.

He is being very unreasonable. So yes, tell him that's fine as long as he gets up and cooks/entertains his friends.

Did their hotel kick them out at 7am or something? 8am for breakfast is VERY early. I'd be embarrassed to rock up at someone's house at that hour on a Sunday morning and expect to be provided with breakfast and convivial chat.

I would have stayed in bed and demanded a bacon roll and large mug of coffee to be delivered to me, along with the Sunday papers, while DH entertained his friends and showed them what a great hands-on dad he is.

Scarriff is definitely Unescorted

Unescorted your name's not Karen is it🤔

Stay in bed and let him sort it!!

@Unescorted I understood your point and think you sound great. If I knew you I’d like to be your friend cos I like the way you think.

Well done OP for not caving.

Am still fascinated by the fact that anyone's train of thought goes.....

'Oh, we're quite near LadySlipper11's dh's that weekend. We are at a wedding all day / night on the Saturday, but what we'll do is get up at the crack of dawn, make LadySlipper11's dh get up, and go and visit him at 8am on a Sunday, because that is a perfectly normal time to be visiting people'

I'm all for visiting people when I'm in their part of the country.
I'm also quite happy to have people 'pop in', but there are certain hours of the day that visiting people is acceptable, and 8o'clock on a Sunday morning isn't one of them.

The OP’s husband’s friends think he’s a wally. Who in their right mind, after a wedding and very likely a late night wants to get up, check out of a hotel early in the morning and then drive on an empty stomach to have breakfast at 8am? Not me, I’d rather have a bit of a lie-in, breakfast at the hotel and the join friends for a nice LUNCH.

If anyone had turned up for breakfast this morning I'd have had a loaf of slightly stale bread, a dozen eggs and some bananas... IF I'd been feeling generous I'd have some French toast maybe with honey and bananas on the side and and coffee..

I'd stick with Pollock. He sounds like a real wet fish to me! Having said that, my late husband used to go off to the pub, then bring a mate or two home for something to eat and a nightcap at 11.30! Unfortunately, the first one he brought was a single bloke who lived alone, and being a sucker for a sob story, I cooked. I'm pretty hospitable and friendly but that led to more coming along! My advice would be to nip this in the bud and if you've already done it, tell him it won't be happening again. Ever.
Just read that back. My husband died of natural causes, not a Wok to the head!

What happened eventually was that prople no longer came to the house
And this is a problem how? seems like mission accomplished to me

I'm just surprised so many people profess to not have any food in their houses over the weekend to actually feed 2 more people than usual

Weekend is lazy time, take away, sleep in (not even awake at 8am), i dont shop planning to cook much, if at all and especially not to feed others breakfast

Just read that back. My husband died of natural causes, not a Wok to the head!

sure.... thats what they all say

It would have made much more sense for your DH to join his friends at their hotel breakfast, if he was that keen on seeing them.

It's nice that the men were so excited about seeing each other even if they did approach it like a pair of clumsy puppies. I bet his wife was thinking "oh, god".

I don't know why some people are talking about having enough in. I live on my own and am on a budget, so tend to get enough fresh food in for 2 days (aside from cupboard staples) then restock.

Hope you got a bacon roll this morning OP...

I’m amazed that anyone is in the habit of keeping enough food in the house for extra people, just on the off-chance. What do you do when your husband doesn’t decide to play at ambassadors at a moment’s notice, just throw all the spare food out for the peasants to scramble for?

Also, I absolutely hate being seen in my dressing gown by anyone except my husband. If this happened to me I’d be hiding under the duvet sending angry HAVE THEY GONE YET texts.

That sounds very handmaiden.Are you for real,pop a bottle of champers in the fridge🤦‍♀️

I would LTB simply for having friends like this 😂 ‘I’m sorry we’re just not compatible’
