When Hubby asked me if his friend Sam could stay with us for a while, I said okay. When he shared that Sam would be bringing his Chinese (as in, Mandarin speaking from China) girlfriend with him, I said okay. When he said that they would be staying for two weeks, I thought he was joking.
He wasn't.
Back in like 1991, Sam's family let Hubby stay with them for a long while. In Sam's world, this means that Hubby owes Sam.
We do not have a guest room. We do not have a foldout couch. When guests (rarely) come, they either take over Ironflower's room or sleep on a cot in our not remodeled but still used as an office basement.
Since the cot doesn't even really fit one adult, Sam and Celia are now ensconced in Ironflower's room. The original plan, made when I panicked over the thought of having guests in our house for two weeks, was that they would spend a night with us, then go to stay with my parents. Who have an entire floor that can be a guest suite (aka the attic, but they remodeled it very nicely when I moved up there as a teenager). But for whatever reason, the couple is now staying here UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
They are nice and polite, but Sam and I have never been close and I'd never met Celia. Ironflower and Lovebug are unhappily sharing a room and now I have extra housework to do. And we've already run out of toilet paper. Hubby is busy with work all week (like, tonight, for example) and wait. . .so am I. We literally do not have money for extra groceries or for entertaining guests. We don't even have time for entertaining guests. We are no way equipped to have guests for two days, let alone two weeks.
Obviously I never should have agreed to this, but Hubby made it sound like Sam would never forgive him and they've been friends since like the first grade.
Any tips on how to deal with this? Because I just want them to go away, or at least leave me alone the 90% of the time. I suppose this makes me a bitch. I could be using this time to get to know Sam better, or to learn about China (I could say get to know Celia, but since they had such a big fight before coming here that they almost didn't come, I don't think I'll ever see Celia again, to be honest). But I don't feel like getting to know anyone or anything while I'm getting used to being pregnant and working from home.
