@Morgan well newborn would be in a travel cot but still sleeping on the couch isn't comfortable i did it when I was 2 weeks postpartum last time
Stay home or book an hotel, don’t stay in the living room
That's a absolute no for me, and this is the second time it's happening last time at 2 weeks PP. No way would I be staying.
Omg no!! Why on earth does your husband want you to do that, your already sleep deprived as it is so let's sleep on a couch? No thanks.
I understand him wanting me there bc we never get to see each other bc he works super long days but I'm just not willing to sleep on a couch...the killer is there's a 2nd spare room and bed but it's so cluttered you can't get in there.
Is it possible for you to take the room with the toddler and him on the couch with the newborn
can they not sort out the other spare room to accommodate? even if its half done
You need to ask them to get the spare bed in order. You could even offer to help clear it off if you wanted? That’s ridiculous you having to slow on the couch when there’s an actual bed you can use! Even if they just put the shit on the floor of the room! I would do this so my daughter in law would be comfortable for sure!
I think it'd be better for you to get bed and have the Porta crib in there so baby can sleep easier, and so can you and dad get the couch and toddlers have a floor bed. I slept on the floor in the living room, visiting family with loads of blankets. It was always fun because we'd build forts. Idk bout anyone else's families but the toddlers and dad's in mines can literally sleep anywhere while the moms and babies always have a harder time, so my suggestion would make more sense.
I would never stay on nobody couch and I have a home tf outtta here u aren’t wrong 😂
Oh I just read they have another spare room. Your husband should handle it so that they either clear it or yall can do it when you get there. And if he won't then he can't be mad you don't want to sleep on a couch
Even a blow up bed would be better than a couch 🤦🏽♀️ could that not be an option for him and toddlers. You and newborn in bed, no way would I stay on a couch
The real question is why is it a given that he gets the bed and toddler and not you?
Are there other solutions here? It’s important to spend the holiday together as a family. Can you get a hotel? Can they declutter their guest room and get a queen mattress for the floor so you can sleep with baby? (Actual firm mattress, not a blow up).

I am wayyy too old to be sleeping on a couch 🛋️…hard pass for me!
Why can’t your husband sleep on the couch with your newborn instead ? Also he’s most likely upset because he wants to go hunting without having to worry about looking after the kids
Why can't you sleep in a bed for?
??? Why can’t you get travel cots for the toddlers and sleep on the bed with your husband in the spare room? Place the cots and the baby’s bassinet in the room with you. I also wouldn’t allow my toddlers to go alone anywhere near people who could potentially be hunting and inebriated. Will grandma actually watch them?
Argh I’m so angry for you that they won’t sort out that room and expect you to sleep on the couch!!!
Honestly it should be your partner sleeping on the couch and you in the spare room. Who even made the arrangements for you to sleep on the couch? Where's the respect for you as a woman and a mother
Why wouldn’t you sleep in the room with the new born? Seems backwards to me. But if I didn’t get that accommodation I wouldn’t go or id book a hotel
Who would want their wife and NEWBORN to sleep on a couch? That's dangerous. I would stay home too.
