To have been entitled over Xmas sleeping arrangements

[EntitledIthink]

Staying with PIL over Christmas. 3 bedrooms and 7 adults.

Obviously PIL stay in their own bedroom which leaves a spare room with a double bed, spare with a single bed and sofa bed in living room (which is horrendously uncomfortable).

I have pushed for us to have the double spare bed and:

BIL 1 have single spare bedroom which to me makes sense because there’s one of him and it seems madness that it was a possibility he’d get a double while a couple share a single.

BIL 2 and SIL get awful sofa bed. I feel guilty about this because if I don’t want to sleep there, why should they?

Normally I go with the flow and usually get a raw deal but I’m 7 months pregnant and can barely sleep as it is and the thought of that uneven, springy bed for 4 nights makes me not want to go.

He would have been asking for his wife though, not himself.

Book a hotel. You chose to be pregnant (presumably) so that shouldn’t trump others.

For the record, I’d give you the double bed. I just hate that pregnancy is held aloft as some sort of reason for people to get automatic special treatment.

He wouldn’t have been asking, he’d have been insisting. That’s the entire point - ask nicely and you’re likely to get what you want. Insist and you won’t.
