You know this thing Dh is doing which is taking up most of the next month. Well..Dh is supposed to be going away to a concert on a week night when he is away on this thing. So his 3 male mates are comign down ehre ont eh Friday night, (DH due bakc that day) and staying til the Wednesday night - but DH has to go back to this thing on the Monday for the rest fo that week, but is driving himself to cncert on Mondya night then going back to place where he's training, leaving me here with his mates.
Now I've known these guys as long as I've known DH but..............I feel a bit uncomfortable about being int he house with them for 3 nights on ym own, plus will be childmidning during the day.
I guess I am ust getting a bit frustrated with everything (due to fecking holidays being cancelled this month, next month and JUly) Angry

why are they staying until weds? two days after dh goes, and after the concert?

i'd say come, welcome, but fuck the fuck off on monday. they can't want to spend the time with you and your charges either tbh (no offence Grin)

what are they planning on doing for two days? haven't they got families of their own to go and bother?

madwoman - I have no idea, they are blokes, who knows how their minds work.
Wife of no1 guy was going to come down and stay too, whcih would have been good and I'd have taken the Monday and Tuesday off.
BUT since the partners of the other 2 aren't coming she's decided she'll not bother either, thus leaving me here with DH, DSes and 3 other blokes for the weekend plus NO DH and 3 blokes the following 3 days!

weird. boot them out to find their wives once he goes. the last thing you need is randoms cluttering the place up. Grin

i just say weird because of the inconvenience tbh, not because they are blokes staying in a woman's house whilst the man is away...

it just sounds like they are using you as a free b&b to have a lad's week away. even when their mate (your dh) has gone.

nowt so queer as folk.

call wifeofno.1 guy and tell her to get her man to come home when dh leaves.

or just tell dh that he's got to sort it.

or tell them over the weekend. right you lot, i want you out on monday. no messing.

Much as I like my DHs mates there is no way I'd be hosting them for three extra days on my own. Not because I'd feel uncomfortable around them at all but because having guests is a whole load of extra work!

davidtennantsmistress · 20/04/2011 21:22

agree with mad woman I think.

they should go when DP does - stopping for a few hours while he's not there is one thing, a few days - something else.

michelle2011 · 20/04/2011 21:26

surely they wont stay in at night though, theyl be down the local givin it large!!! if theyre there for 3 nights they can each take a turn in cooking for you :o

I assume they are all enhanced CRB checked for your setting, not jsut as serving officers; as must ALL overnight visitors and other people including immediate family in the house at the same time as mindies, could you use this as a 'get out' clause?

Saltire · 21/04/2011 17:41

CRB checked- why? They are staying overnight, I've never had any overnight guests CRB checked before? Also they aren't serving (or officersGrin) but civvies.

I had to have my sis and husband CRB checked as they often stay when visiting UK and they are here during the day when mindies are here, albeit not alone, but thats what Ofsted said. If there are mindies present and you have house guests, they must not be left alone in the same room, I know, I know........!

MissingMySleep · 22/04/2011 09:42

No way. I would say please can they go back, cos I am childminding,and have to have everyone here CRB checked so that I don't lose my licence.

Even if not childminding I would ask them to go back if DH not there. One I could handle but 3, that is just bizarre.
