To not want to stay at MIL?

[Buggerofff]

I love my MIL and love staying there and we have lived there previously. We are planning on having our Christmas today Boxing Day as their has been some family dramas between BIL and SIL they have split now.

Anyway since BIL has taken the bed out of OH old bedroom to his new flat their is now nowhere for us to sleep. Unless we top and tail in a single bed and DD sleeps in a travel cot and DS in the other single bed. I have said their is no point we may aswell just have a long day there and go home on the night.

OH is saying I'm selfish as it's his last Christmas at the family home as they have just sold it. AIBU? I just want to get into my bed after a long day I can't be bothered topping and tailing in a single bed we can barely share a double bed as it is.

Can you travel back and leave him to it?

Compromise. If he wants to stay he tops and tails with DS and you have a bed to yourself

Can you not just say covid rules don’t allow you to do it? If in UK

Push the two singles together

Depends who's driving and how comfortable they are and how far. It would be me driving here (DP on meds) and I'd rather not have to worry about having a drink, be able to sleep off xmas lunch and inevitable headache etc and not drive tired/mentally drained, even the fairly quick drive back from my parents. Plus last night in the family home like that is actually quite emotive in a way. Let DH have it.

Also assumimg your DS is quite young- can't you take a single bed each and one of you have DS in with you or make a double? It I wouldn't be squishing 2 adults into a single for that, especially if one of you is driving tomorrow. That should be priority.

Has anyone got an inflatable bed for your DS?

This really wouldn’t be a big deal for me. Either get your DH and DS to share so you can have a single to yourself or suck it up and laugh it off. I’m quite attached to my family home so I can see where your husband is coming from.

I'd have bought a double air bed. In fact you probably still can, places like Tesco sell them.

Could you not share a single bed with your son? I presume he is still quite small.

It depends which part of the country your in, I’m tier 2 (for now) so it would be allowed if in our bubble

Single bed each and a ‘nest’ on the floor for DS?

Can’t DS sleep on some sofa cushions?

You sleep in the single and he either sleeps in the other with DS or on the floor if he wants to stay over so badly. DH and I have slept in all sorts of places but I draw the line at top and tailing in a single bed.

Buy an inflatable bed, they are available everywhere and not too expensive. I think your DH would remind you of this every time you had a row. It’s obviously important to him so I personally would.

If you’re in the UK overnight stays aren’t allowed so that seems the most reasonable excuse, in fact it would be very unreasonable to stay with them when current rules ban it. Even if you’re not in the UK can you still use covid as an excuse? I assume it is still effecting whichever country you’re in?

Has she offered a solution?

I have no idea what the COVID rules are in yours and their area but given the fact the house has been sold I would take a single bed. DH takes the other and either share with ds or build a fort/tent/nest that dh can sleep in.

You and DS take the single beds and your DH sleeps on the floor.
