Feeling my partner and his family have really inconsiderate

All you can do is have it out with him about being selfish, cos it's not the guest that are the problem it's the other half.
You might have to say you are not having his family to stay any more if he continues being selfish.0 -

OK, with the update, yes, your partner is nbeing unreasonable and inconsierate and it is reasonable for you to have a conversation with him about that.
You can also bear in mind what has happened for future reference, abd perhaps manage people's expectations - for instance next time someone is planning a visit, you can say to them "You're welcome to come - we may bned to ask you to give us a hand moving LO's cot into our room so you can sleep in his/her rom, and just so you know, we're usually up by [time] even at weekends - you don't have to get up then if you don't want to but it probably won't be very quiet after that time"
It sounds as though the issue is that your OH is failing to rtreat you with the same consideration that he treats the guiests with, and that is a legitimate reason to be unhappy with him.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0 -

It was him that continually told me and lo to be quiet while they were sleeping to the point of it being lunchtime and I said that was enough. Or lo is a very calm and quiet child as it is.
I was very hurt while I was lying in bed as I was in a lot of pain, he knew they'd woken me and I asked him not to make noise. While I was lying there in pain I was upset that he was being so inconsiderate especially given we had had to be so quiet in the middle of the day.
Nothing can be done now I just will say I don't think it's a good idea if its suggested they stay again. No they aren't young, similar ages to us (40 &35) they just have very young lifestyles
I have to admit to being totally confused about your post - I remember your previous posts - about life is what happens and falling apart at the seams -(August or so last year) . I thought that you were older - your daughter was having mental health problems and had abandoned her daughter with you and you had adopted her ....

And what is a "hse"?0

Well, the reason I'm asking is that often a younger newer partner is more casual about how visitors behave in someone else's house - and to me, this would appear to be the case. Think you are right - next time it is suggested that they stay at yours, your respone should be "no, sorry, no room".0
