To tell my boyfriend I don't want him to sleep over when I'm at work the next day?

[Lacrymosa12]

Boyfriend slept at my house last Tuesday night in order to take care of my kids on the wednesday morning as I was at work at 5am. This was kind of him, I know. The problem is he kept me awake all night.

I went to bed at 10am but didn't get to sleep until midnight as he fidgets constantly, slinging the covers off as he was too hot, dragging them off me again as he was then too cold, kicking his legs around as he was "restless" etc

Anyway I finally got to sleep at 12am and then was awaken again at 2am by him going to toilet. He gets back into bed and starts making daft noises to make me laugh. I snapped "shh" at him and he went to sleep. I was then awaken at 3.30am by him snoring. I had to get up at 5am for a 13 hour shift. When I got home that night I seriously felt like a zombie.

I know it was kind of him to look after my kids for me but I seriously can't function on that amount of sleep. He would never agree to sleep on the sofa either.

So anyway he usually sleeps here on a saturday night and he always keeps me awake as previously described. Next week however I'm working the Sunday - again up at 5am. WIBU to tell him he can't sleep that Saturday night as I need to get a good nights sleep for work?

I know it's going to seem a bit off after he looked after my kids this week but I just can't face another night of that, not when I'm up at 5am

AIBU?

I was going to say YABU until i read that he woke you up making silly noises! WTAF? how old is he? leave the bastard actually, im only half joking, i culdnt be doing with someone that did that

Find someone else to look after the DC and don't let him sleep over again.

YANBU

If he wants to help put, get him to set his alarm for 4am and he can come over to look after your DCs then. You get a good nights sleep, he gets to help out. Ta-da!!!!

There is a reason people who can afford it have separate bedrooms.

Making silly noises? How old is he? Twelve?

Tell him that he can't stay over on Saturday night and that in future if he makes attention-seeking noises when you're asleep you'll knee him in the gonads!

No, yanbu. Just explain it all to him, your need for a sound sleep, and how exhausted you were after broken sleep, then having to work, last week. Good luck!

He sounds like a pain in the backside

Just be honest with him, tell him he always wake you up and that you can't be dealing with it when you have work the following day.
And if he complains then tell him he can stay on the sofa

It's not unreasonable and to be honest he should try a little harder to keep it down so that you can get some rest. It's not fair to keep you up aswell.

How do you usually manage with childcare when you have to be up that early?
