📝 AITAH for telling my partner she can't just let her sister and sister's boyfriend move in without consulting me?

My partner and I just closed on our home last Wednesday. We're still settling in, still unpacking. Still waiting on more furniture to arrive so we can REALLY settle in. Today, a couple hours ago, she hits me with the "sister and sister's bf want to move into our spare room while they look for a house. It won't be for long, maybe a couple months max. Hope you're not mad". We had a similar conversation previously, her sister was gonna come with us and move into the house with us but nothing about moving in the boyfriend too. Her sister ended up bailing about a week before closing and it's just been us, which is great. I said if anything your sister can come, not him too. Supposedly he's trying to get out of his living situation now too because he didn't finish all of his food this morning and is now being charged $100 a month for groceries. I'm sorry, am I missing something? Is this something to move out immediately over?

Now it's a big fight, she demands a reason why I said no to the boyfriend coming too. I think they're both extremely immature and have some growing up to do, which makes it hard to hold a conversation or spend time with them. They're always wanting to argue and be right about stuff. Or get in your business and tell you that 'you spent too much money on XYZ, why would you do that'. My personal favorite is when they play with our 3 year old son, see my partner is visibly getting stressed and overwhelmed, and they continue to get the child riled up and let him do things that he shouldn't be doing because it's funny for them. And then they make smart comments about her getting irritated and annoyed, or about the way she parents. I've told her I don't appreciate them disregarding how she gets overwhelmed and irritated. It's disrespectful. But she doesn't care because her sister is like her best friend, whatever. Still the principle, in my opinion.

Sorry that was a lot. Just frustrated and wondering if I'm valid or just being an AH.
