My first baby due in 2 weeks but we have been on standby for several weeks for an early arrival so I have been taking it easy at home keeping the baby cooking. My parents have asked to come and stay tonight because of an important medical appointment for my dad tomorrow morning at 11am and they?re worried about being late if they have to come from their home because of problems on the M4. We live on the other side of London from the appointment so it?s not necessarily better to be at our flat than at their house tonight. It would only take them an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours to get to the appointment from their home.
Additionally, our spare room has sort of been turned into the nursery , although we do still have a double bed in there, and I have previously said to my mum that it is no longer a guest room ? it?s the baby?s room. So while they can of course stay, it is a little unsettling to have them here. The flat is tiny and we never get much sleep when they?re here.
My DH is incredibly stressed at work at the moment and is furious that I didn?t tell them that it was inconsiderate of them to ask and that the answer was no. My problem is that I never tell them how I feel and he feels (and I suppose I do to a certain extent) that they walk all over me.
It?s not convenient for them to stay, I should have told them so, but I didn?t and now we?re both in a tizzy, worried that the baby could come at any minute. The last thing I want is for things to kick off tonight and then have to endure early labour at home with my parents hanging around waiting for their appointment. If it wasn?t for the fact that the appointment is something which my parents must be very worried about I would call them up and say they can?t come, but I don?t want to upset them.
So long story short ? I think they have been inconsiderate to ask to come and stay with us when DH is so busy at work and I?m days away from giving birth. AIBU?
