to put a disney movie on very loud surround sound to force DH out of bed?

Okay, background. DH went out last night for 'a couple' of drinks. Went out at 5pm and I rang him at 0430 when I woke with DD and found he wasn't in yet. Eventually dragged himself home. Don't know where he was (quite possibly another thread entirely) so, would I be unreasonable to make his hangover feel very much worse by hiding all the pain killers and playing something disney loudly so he can't sleep?

YADNBU - I feel like doing the same this morning

nagoo · 04/09/2010 09:08

Hmmn. Depends on previous form, I feel.

mamamiafigaro · 04/09/2010 09:10

Do it, Do it, Do it!

Alouiseg · 04/09/2010 09:12

Why? If you went out I expect you'd need a lie in to recover. I don't see the point of being nasty about it.

He won't be much help with a hangover anyway.

PuppyMonkey · 04/09/2010 09:12

You go out today on your own instead.

TriplePachyderm · 04/09/2010 09:15

yabu
surely you knew he would get drunk and sleep in

woopsidaisy · 04/09/2010 09:18

Well,does he do it all the time,or was it a deserved night out? If the latter,then let him enjoy his night out and lie in.He can make up for it tomorrow.He is not a child,but an adult,allow him some freedom.

He was supposed to be back at eightish, we had planned to do 'stuff' today which we wont now do. DD is having a nap now anyway but I will hide the painkillers.

Woopsidaisy happens almost every time he goes out, which isn't infrequently, but he promised to come back early last night.

Erm...where the f was he? Clubs round here close around 3.
Yeah go out yourself tonight.

whoneedssleepanyway · 04/09/2010 09:41

I like your style BoobyMcLeaky...may have to try this one myself.

Bumperlicious · 04/09/2010 09:59

Presumably tomorrow will be your turn for a lie in?

sungirltan · 04/09/2010 10:07

yanbu. dh has been out until 4.30 before. i was bloody livid. there is a ganking pub in town which stays open 24 i think, or at least until 8am

mumatron · 04/09/2010 10:11

i would just take me and dc out for the day with his money

can you do what you had planned without him?

my dp does this every so often, but i have learnt to avoid making any solid plans when he has a night out planned.

infact dp is in bed now after going out for 1 or 2 after work last night. not sure exactly what time he strolled in but it was early this morning rather than late last night.

KarmaAngel · 04/09/2010 10:24

Would depend on how often he did it. My DH has been quite good to me in the past when I've the worse hangover of my life. (Everyone seems to get worse ). He'll leave me bed all day and take the kids out. So I do the same for him.

Can you not have a night out tonight and leave him to it?

proudnsad · 04/09/2010 10:40

How often's 'not very often'? If this is only once every few months, give the guy a break. If it's every couple of weeks , I would choose playing Don't Stop Believin' at full volume over Disney. Men are fatally allergic to this song.

weegiemum · 04/09/2010 10:48

My dh sleeps in pretty much every Sat morning - but he's just one of these creatures that needs a really huge amount of sleep. He works hard and has a long commute so I dont mind, I only need about 6-7 hours anyway so get up adn get on!

He's been in bed since 9pm last night and is still out for the count and will be till 12 I would think.

However, if he had been out on the razzle then my view would be very different!

Heracles · 04/09/2010 12:20

How will having a P with a stinking hangover around improve your day?

sapphireblue · 04/09/2010 13:22

I would leave him in bed til after lunch then deposit DC's with him and go out.

SeaTrek · 04/09/2010 13:56

Sorry but YABU unless he does this kind of thing often. If it was a rare night of drunken fun then let him sleep in - who knows you may want the favour returned someday....

PadmeHum · 04/09/2010 14:07

As he does this relatively often I'd wake him up, give him a strong coffee, then hand over the baby and bugger off out for the day.

I just do NOT understand why women will tolerate this. Would it be okay if it were the other way around.

What would your partner say if you pissed off out until the early hours every single time you went out. Would he not be livid if you promised you'd be home by 8 then only rolled in at gone 5am!

Seriously, there is no question here. You are being taken for a mug!

Booboobedoo · 04/09/2010 14:13

Well, if it was me (having read both your posts) I would pack a bag and head off to friends/family for a couple of nights.

You can only stop this kind of piss-taking with strong action imo.

Depends how much it actually bothers you, but it's breathtakingly disrespectful imo.

loubielou31 · 04/09/2010 20:23

This will be my dilemma tomorrow, hiding the paracetemol as we speak.
