Woman Upset Boyfriend’s Wealthy Family Wants To Stay Over Instead Of Booking A Hotel
"I don't understand why they would want to cram into our small apartment"
Increased contentment and happiness are some of the benefits of spending time with family. Spending time with family can help lower stress and anxiety, promote a healthy lifestyle, and extend life, according to studies.
Spending time with family strengthens values and enhances mental well-being. A person's development is greatly aided by spending time with family since it fosters resilience and flexibility.
Only family members mentoring one another through the highs and lows of life can impart such important lessons. In fact, our identity is shaped by our family, and OP's partner felt this way about his family.
A time came when both OP's BIL and his wife came over to stay with them for the weekend and attend a show. OP's BF was ecstatic because his family never comes up there to visit, but she wasn't happy, and here's why.
The OP and her boyfriend share a small 600 sq ft, 2 bed/1 bath apartment. They use their second bedroom as a small guest room/office space.
Their guest room has an Ikea daybed that was designed to pull out into a queen-size, utilizing two very thin mattresses. Since they don't always have guests over, they opted for using one decent quality twin-size mattress instead.
OP asked her BF how he expected both his sister and BIL to stay with them, since they only have a twin bed in the guest room. Well, all we can say is that the OP wasn't prepared for the answer she got.
The OP writes...

It's absurd for OP's BF to want her to give up their own bed for them. OP's boyfriend ought to have discussed it with her before giving his family a go-ahead.
On the other hand, OP is undoubtedly exaggerating the situation because she should have no problem with two adults spending two nights at her house. Leave your verdicts in the comment section and don't forget to share.
