To think that uninvited guests should say thank you?

DS2 arrived home at 4.15 this morning from a night's hard clubbing. He had two friends with him who were both shitfaced drunk (one girl, one boy).

They made so much noise coming in they must have woken the whole neighbourhood, and took ages to settle down to sleep.

This morning, both left, at different times, without greeting DH or I or saying thank you.

AIBU to think this is really rude?

I think it's the walk of shame factor.....say as little as possible to as few people as possible, just get home to your own bed and die in peace. Perhaps they'll say a nice (sober & unsmelly) thank you next time they come round to your house during normal sociable visiting hours. (benefit of doubt time)

I think you sound v nice. but prob unrealistic to expect any thanks, unless you politely prompt them!

Also, is hard to be the sensible one, eg get accused of being "boring", "relax" etc. Maybe DS needs to learn some assertiveness techniques to stand up to his mates.

My mum used to tut and come out in her dressing gown. One of my brother's friends was once sick out of a window and she made him get up and scrub up the mess at 7am!

I agree with Purple and I'm a lot older than her, and my ds is nearer her age. When you've had a few, you think you are being quiet when you aren't. I could never understand my Mum complaining about friends drinking coffee and chatting in our front room in the wee small hours after a night out. I'd just have a quiet reminder to my ds that other people are trying to sleep at that time, and, while he knows his mates are welcome to crash at ours, he (and they) needs to respect the fact that other beings are likely to be asleep at that time of the morning. I really wouldn't fret over hungover people wanting to slink off to their own beds to suffer sleep the morning away, rather than making polite chit chat with friend's mother.
