AIBU to have invited my dad round to see DD after she broke her arm

DD broke her arm yesterday, she's okay and all plastererd up and was showing her "badge of honour" in school today 🤣

DFIL said yesterday, he will pop round after school today to see her

DDad said to facetime him today when she gets back

So we get back from school and me, DD and DH are discussing what happened with arm break (DH hadn't seen her since getting back from hospital yesterday) and DD said "is DFIL coming round?" I said "yes he will pop over later, do you want to facetime DDad?" But she said can't he come over to see it? (The plaster cast🤣)

I said okay I'll ask him

Rang DDad and said can u pop over for 10 mins to see DD she wants to show u her cast

Didn't think I needed to ask DH if DDad could come?

DH didn't bat an eyelid at DFIL coming - this is important in context

DH then shouts out to the kitchen "can you ask your DDad to keep his voice down when he gets here I'm tired"

Now both DDad and DFIL are quite loud talkers especially with the kids and over expression

I sort of scoffed in the kitchen as I couldn't think of a response - how do you ask someone to be quiet 🤔 other than the obvious

DH went on to say he's too loud I'm tired I don't really want anyone here. I said you didn't say that when you thought it was only DFIL and are you going to ask DFIL to keep his noise down too?!

So now we are not talking and DD is upset that it's caused an argument

AIBU to have brought him round , without asking, after DH has been on an early shift ?

I think it depends on how “early” early shift is - I’d not be delighted at having folk round if I’ve been up since 5.00am. I’d also be ok with my dad (cos I can tell him to keep it down, ask him to leave) but less so with my in-laws (because I do t have that relationship with them) so I can see his point.

Will they stay for 10 mins - or settle in for the evening?
To be fair to your husband, he didn't invite either of them.
