To dry my hair while my DH sleeps?

[glitzy]

I get up before him in the mornings, and like to wash, dry and straighten my hair before I go to work. Obviously the hair dryer is noisy and wakes him - causing some grunts, sometimes moans, and always an attempt to smother himself with a pillow. I have nowhere else I can dry my hair other than our bedroom. Should I leave him sleeping and go to work with wet hair, or wake him up with the racket?

Little more info that may be relevant - I used to go to work with wet hair, but ive been ill recently with bad flu/SF, and havnt quite got rid of it yet, and everytime I leave my hair wet, I seem to get a sore throat again.

can't you dry them in the kitchen?
I feel for him as I hate being woken up unnecessarily :)

Depends what time you're doing it :)

Can you not take the hairdryer into your living room and use a power socket there? If my DH kept me awake doing something like this I'd be very very annoyed. Luckily my DH goes to work before me so its not generally a problem, but if he's still there I just take the hairdryer to a different room. Not that hard.

Put the hairdryer in the kitchen/ hallway/ living room?

Doesn't he have to get up too?

A little unreasonable unless there are literally no other sockets in the house?

I agree that it depends on what time you're doing it compared to your DH's usual getting up time. I'd be annoyed if someone used a hairdryer in the room I was sleeping in.

Is there really nowhere else you could plug the hairdryer in? Not even the landing with the bedroom door shut?

Can you not wash and dry your hair the night before? I think you are being hugely U to wake your partner up every morning like this. I'd be fuming if DH did something like this to me.

Can you wash your hair the night before and just straighten it in the morning?

I get up at 6.00 3 days a week. DH gets up at 7, and works a 12 hour day.( I get home at 5.30, he gets home at 8pm.)

I keep a hair dryer downstairs in the kitchen and use the glass oven door as a mirror.

I get dressed very qietly in the bathroom and creep downstairs. I leave the house before he gets up.

He does the same on the days i get up later.

It is good manners IMO.

If it's irritating him, and there's nobody more unreasonable than me when I'm woken up by anything other than a baby, then why wouldn't you try and find another solution?

I would second washing your hair at night and just straighten it in the morning.

YABU if it's a regular thing, you need to find another solution - get a mirror to use elsewhere in the house.

I always dry my hair in the kitchen. I think it is a bit selfish to wake someone up with a hairdrier, I know I wouldn't be happy if someone did that to me!

I agree that it depends on what time you are talking about.

But I can´t think of many more annoying things than somebody using a hairdryer every morning when you´re still trying to sleep.

What order do you do everything in?

YABU, I get up before my DP and dry my hair and get ready in another room, he does the same when he has to get up before me, it's not fair to wake him up doing this every day, I'm sure you could use the hairdryer somewhere else even if it means putting up another mirror somewhere

My lovely DH often gets up between 5.30 - 6.30 and I don't have to get up until 8am most days. He is so good at creeping around quietly that he could possibly get a second job as a cat burglar! In fact, we have a squeaky floorboard which has developed over Christmas between our bedroom and the ensuite - it had been waking me up when he was going for his shower in the morning (I sleep very lightly now I am pregnant), so he had half the floor up this weekend trying to fix it so he wouldn't rouse me unneccesarily (also said he wouldn't want to wake the baby when it comes - told you he is a lovely DH!)

There's no way that I would disturb him whilst he was sleeping unless it was literally unavoiable and would probably either go to work with wet hair or try and wash my hair the night before/ invest in some dry shampoo, if there was no alternative.

I have to get up at 5.15am three days a week. I have all my 'beautifying' stuff down stairs in the lounge. I wouldnt blow dry my hair with DP (and kids) in bed.

I always wash my hair before going to bed, blow dry it and then straighten it in the morning- I like to be a quiet as possible.

there simply must be another option. i would be fuming if DH did this to me, and i would never wake him up earlier than needed unless it could not be avoided at all. much less a regular thing such as drying hair after a shower.

can you not dry it in the hallway? in the kitchen? when you get to work? seriously, there MUST be another option.

Ok will answer the questions

Its between 8 and 8:20 in the morning, and only every second morning

He works from home and normally gets up around 9 - 9:30

there are no other mirrors in the house, so I can dry it without a mirror, but then would have to go back upstairs to straighten it with a mirror - or put a mirror and all my hair stuff (straighteners dryer etc in the dining room or something)

I like a shower in the morning, and my hair is easier to control if dried and straightened straight after a shower, if i sleep on it, it goes all fluffy and is harder to straighten.

So ... am I?

then put all your stuff in the dining room along with a decent mirror.

being woken up at 8am when i have organised my working commitments to start at 9 or 9.30 isn't on. i would be pissed if DH did this to me even once a week.

just organise yourself better, really.
