To say we shouldn’t have anyone visit before early flight?

[Lis1992]

We have a holiday coming up with some extended family members and my parents. I covered the holiday for my parents as a gift for a significant birthday this year. I’m living with them at the moment. My sister wants to visit tonight before we go. We are up at 3am for our flight. I think she should
have come yesterday instead, as wanted to go to bed (not to sleep to relax and hope to sleep later ) in the early evening. they were horrible to me when I said it’s not the best day for her to come and I’m so upset I’m not a great sleeper anyway, so I’ve been anxious about it as I hate being tired on a trip. AIBU?!

Just go to bed

Just say no. It’s that simple.

Well I am sure you don’t need to stay up and she can visit her parents whenever she likes as long as they are happy

You can just go to bed? And your parents can stay up with her. Everyone can do as they like here, there is no problem.

It's her parents' house.

As long as they are not expecting you to cook a 3 course meal or to stay up drinking until midnight I can’t see the problem. She can visit her parents in their house when she wants if the arrangement works for the 3 of them - you don’t have to be involved.

Why is this anything to do with you? Just go to bed. Let them do what they want.

If they question you just point out that she didn’t visit before because she wanted to relax in bed, and on this occasion you need to go sleep in bed due to the early flight so wish them a good visit and off you go.

Let her do what she wants but just go to bed yourself.

Just go to bed.

I’m so upset I’m not a great sleeper anyway, so I’ve been anxious about it as I hate being tired on a trip. AIBU?!

This is quite dramatic. You seem to be making it a much bigger deal than what it is.
You are clearly anxious and trying to help that by having people do what you prefer... but you just can't make people do that.

You can't dictate when your sister comes to her parents house that you just happen to live in. Just go to bed, she isn't coming to see you anyway

Just go to bed, if your parents are tired tomorrow that’s their problem

Yes, just go to bed.

She can visit your parents, you carry on with your stuff aka trip preparation and going to bed early.

Just go to bed. When your get your own house you can decide who visits when.

I vote for going to bed but that gets my preference vote in almost any situation!

I'm getting the sense that you feel that by insisting on visiting tonight she is trying to rain on your parade.

You may well be right.

It's your parents house, she can come and visit them whenever she wants as long as they are happy!

You can get into bed, that doesn't matter.

It's not really up to you, she can visit her parents, just go to your room you don't have to be there.

It's their house
She's their daughter
It's up to them
You just go to bed and let them get on with it
I don't see the problem

Unless they plan on partying until midnight I can’t see the issue. It if gets too late for you excuse yourself and go to bed.

Sorry but YABVU. You can't tell your parents what to do in their own house.

If you don't want to socialise just go to bed early.

YABU. And whoever paid for the holiday literally has nothing to do with this story. I sense some jealousy/tension with your sister.....

Get some earplugs.
But watch amazon, some are crap.
And accept that you'll be tired arriving but once there there is lots of time to catch up on sleep, dozing through the day, lie ins or early nights.

It isn't her house! She doesn't get to say no to who visits her parents in their home
