I'm stuck in a pretty touchy situation here. Last year we invited my best friend and her fiancee to spend Thanksgiving with us. They live in Massachusetts (where I'm originally from) and we live in Maryland. They spent three days with us. This year we have been invited and excepted. The problems are these:
1. I'm pregnant - she, her fiancee, her mother and her brother (who will be there) and my sweetie ALL smoke. They said they would set aside a specific room for it, but with five people smoking you know there's going to be no escape of it.
2. Her cat has fleas - We were talking on the phone the other day and she mentioned that she was itchy because her kitty has fleas. We have two cats and the last thing I want to do is to have fleas travelling back home with us and latching on to my poor furries. It's just not cold enough for the suckers to die en route.
3. Their apartment is literally just down the sidewalk from where my ex-husband lives. I do not want to chance a run-in with him since neither he or my sweetie get along at all.
My cousin has offered us the use of her spare bedroom instead and is more than willing to help us out.
The last thing I want to do is to hurt my friends feelings, but tact isn't always my forte`.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can tell her we aren't comfortable being there without being hurtful? She is just so excited about playing hostess and I know she will be disappointed.
Thanks!

I would totally blame it on my pregnancy and say lately you can't tolerate any smoke around you (get DH to back you up on this). So you can go for dinner, but don't sleep there.

Would it work if you told her that family had insisted that you stay with them, and you would feel really awkward letting them down, but that you know how understanding she is.
Thats the angle I would try if it were me, or if it was one of my really good friends, I would tell the truth.
