to go to bed when DH is home and visitors arrive because I feel like poo...

[Pheebe]

Both ds's have been poorly, possibly swine flu but we're not sure. I haven't had more than a couple of hours sleep in one stretch since Tuesday night and quite frankly feel like crap. Ds1s god mum (DH's childhood friend) and her bf are arriving in about an hour for an overnight stay. Tried to put them off but as the boys are pretty much over it they've decided to come anyway. Am I being incredibly rude to go to bed for an hour or so when they get here???

Can't you go now and get up when they arrive?

I thought the op said feel like a poo.
Why not just have an early night?

I think it's fine to do it as long as you explain why to them and your DH rather than just slope off.

DH is out at the mo dropping his parents off at the airport, should be home soon. Think I'll take some more neurofen and battle through. She usually goes to bed early anyway, may be less rude to go to bed early than go to bed when they've just arrived

I would do exactly that if I were you. Have a good old nap now, let your husband deal with the kids,then wake up later nicely refreshed, and spend a lovely evening with your friends.

Better than battling on feeling like crap.
