When my DH and I are on our vacation later this month, my MIL has agreed to come down and cat sit. I'm happy about it bc it saves us money from having to hire a service. So, she'll get to stay near the nation's capitol, see the sites and visit her friends. Just a week or two ago, though, DH tells me that his uncle and aunt are also staying in our place to keep his mom company. It wasn't in the form of a question. I was kind of ticked off that he never even asked me how I felt about it, but what's more, I find out that the plan is for this guy -- that I've only met once in my entire life -- and his wife are for them to sleep in our bed for the entire week. When I asked why MIL can't sleep in our bed instead and to give the other in-laws an air mattress, it comes out that he's too large for an air mattress and would likely pop it. Awesome. So now I have this "large" man whom I don't know very well, sleeping on my expensive mattress with pillow top, specifically designed to conform to your body. All I can think about is this stranger sweating in his sleep (as we all do) and having the sweat seep through the sheets and into my mattress. Or worse, having a huge permanent divet in my side of the bed (I'm not being unrealistic about this, when we rotated the mattress last year, DH made a divet and for six months I kept rolling into the center of the mattress because of it).
Ugh! So anyway, regardless of the size of the person or how much the person sweats in their sleep, am I the only one irked by this. Would you feel comfortable with someone you barely know sleeping in your bed? My DH and MIL (go figure) think I'm being unreasonable. "It's just a bed" they say and "you sleep in hotel beds" they say. Yes, hotel beds are one thing...but this is MY bed. That I paid for. I feel like I should have at least been brought into the conversation and asked how I felt about it. Versus being told my bed would be opened up to the public in my absence.
