Why can't I go to bed ? (Staying at friends)

DH is angry because I have come to bed with DS. It's health half past midnight and I've been cooking for 3 days and am exhausted. He says it's f'ing rude as we are staying with friends. He's drunk and the other guests who were visiting went home an hour ago. There are just three couples staying and they're still up but my DS is the youngest child so he's come to bed after a massive stay up and I've got into bed too. I'm just exhausted after hosting at ours then making a load of food to bring here too. Oh and cooked at my mum's yesterday too as she couldn't manage it after inviting 12 people round.
I'm an adult and can choose my own bedtime can't I ?

He is being a selfish idiot.
Of course you can go to bed when you want, and need, to.

Of course you can go to bed when you want. He's being a twat.
Don't worry about him and have a nice sleep.

Hskatkat · 28/12/2024 00:38

Your husband is a tit.
Go to sleep you child will need you tomorrow x

CalicoPusscat · 28/12/2024 00:40

It's late, you're tired, he's being a tosser

Helicopper · 28/12/2024 00:40

Maybe he thought it rude if you just disappeared without saying goodnight to everyone. I'm not one to judge though as done it myself! Sent apols and goodnight wished via him and no-one batted an eye lid. Think most parents understand tbh. 12.30 is late, I wouldn't worry about it but have a lovely sleep!

Don't bother replying to a drunk . Just go ahead and do what you want to. Prick

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 28/12/2024 00:43

He is drunk.

Is he going to be the one getting up in the morning to parent your child, or does he think you are going to do it.

This sums it up nicely. ☝️

Wishitwasstraightforward · 28/12/2024 01:11

He's being a twat. Probably because he's had too much to drink. I hope he apologises tomorrow.

Given how rude he thinks it is to be in bed when other members of the group are up please make sure you haul him out of bed as soon as the first person gets up in the morning 😉

Youngheartsalittletogetherness · 28/12/2024 01:33

Jerk off... hope he's got the hangover from hell so let's see how sociable and helpful he is in the morning.

Ponderingwindow · 28/12/2024 01:36

This is one of the many reasons I won’t stay with people anymore. The sleep deprivation . Either an insistence to stay up late or an insistence to get up ridiculously early.

Honestly, when I host overnight guest I often long for them to fuck off to bed so that I too can go to bed! As host I feel I have to stay up with them, so if you were my guest I would be grateful.

Your husband is a fool, by the way.

chaosmaker · 28/12/2024 01:37

What exactly did the husband do to help over the xmas stuff?

crumblingschools · 28/12/2024 01:38

How much parenting does he do? Why did you have to do so much cooking?

EveryOtherNameTaken · 28/12/2024 02:35

Get him up early and tell him he's selfish for being tired with a hangover.

Susiesoozie · 28/12/2024 04:26

Now woken by his snoring. Both Ds and j awake. I'm so cross

Get as much rest as you can and then a big chat needed today!!

Tel12 · 28/12/2024 10:51

Stop cooking!

Disturbia81 · 28/12/2024 11:02

He's a dick! I hate it when other guests/hosts complain about you going to bed or just getting some alone time, some of us can't be around others 24/7. If you want me to be good company then let me have alone time ffs

Susiesoozie · 28/12/2024 15:50

Next person went at 1am so I'm not arsed now. Dh has no off switch it seems. I slept horrendously though after he snored like a pig from 4am.
