please do not let the fact that you hate/love Big Brother cloud your judgement.

right ok i will try and keep this as brief as poss.

All week i have been telling DH that i am looking forward to the final tonight and that please can we watch it even though he is not normally interested. He was absolutley fine about it.

anyway MIL (also not a fan of BB) is staying for the week.
i was upstairs getting changed this evening and DH popped his head round door to ask if i was interested in watching a film with them that he had recorded on Sky +.

I said don't forget about my programmes that I want to watch and he said well i can record the final for you and you can watch it later or tomorrow.

clearly not happy about it but they have gone ahead and are watching the film anyway.

feel really gutted was looking forward to it all week and now i am waiting for the film to finish that they could watch anytime as its a recorded one.

perhaps it's the principle that is getting to me here - i feel as though what i wanted is not important and my feelings have been pushed to one side as not important.

right ok - verdict please...

additional info that might be necessary for you to make an informed decision...

i am 34 weeks pregnant and hormonal

OK so you are 34 weeks pregnant - therefore fart all through the stupid film they are watching, burp noisily (can't help it, I am pregnant).

YANBU. You had booked the tv, it is the final. Make sure you do the same for the FA cup final.

(Have some chocolate, I am sure the babe needs it).

lol at chukkypig. i would offer to let tthe guest watch their choice, being a guest, and resign myself to it. but i would hope very much if i'd got across how much it meant to me that all would let me watch my program, as at 34 weeks you don't get out much and could sure do with some artificial highs!

Think the MIL is the sticking point here. Personally, I think YANBU, but think you were right not to make a big fuss in front of her. You dont want her thinking you are a mad bint. Mind you, when my dh erased a documentary by mistake that I wanted to watch when I was pre-menstrual, I kicked him hard.
Awful. So ashamed.

You were not being a wimp to avoid confrontation with mil - you maintained your dignity.

Maybe you should have asserted your wishes to both the other members of the household at the beginning.
