I've bought my first ever house, due to move in next 6 weeks or so.

I mentioned to family that I'd honestly rather handle the move myself (rent a van, pay for movers, whatever it is) to just get it out of the way and move in alone, and THEN have family over right after.

I could tell they were abit taken aback by me not wanting a full family day, parents helping load the van, carry my stuff, help me in general etc... which I understand - it's a big deal and a big chapter in my life they want to be a part of. Either my Mum or Dad has been with me to all 3 viewings and have been involved along the way which I appreciate (though just to note, this is with entirely my own money, no help whatsoever from anybody else).

I haven't even been to the property on my own once, always other people there, and my Dad being a professional yapper which drives me nuts but I tolerate it as he's my Dad.

Am I being selfish here? I get they probs want to be invovled, but in my mind it'll take hour to load the van (ive not got much stuff), a 2 hour drive, then an hour to unload and that's it... they could then come over on weekend but I just want to deal with it by myself as it will inevitably be more stressful than required with my family on the day.

They didn't make a huge fuss about it, but I do feel a bit guilty like I've rejected them or something
