To think it's funny when my 5 yr old DS falls out of bed

don't freak, it's a very low starter low bed. But our walls are thin and he falls out with a loud thump and when we go into his room he's still fast asleep on the floor!

That's cute, I always used to find it funny when my little brother did the same. Never hurt him, he never seemed to get woken up by it! YANBU.

Teamumizumi · 20/08/2012 21:39

YABU. Of course he's going to hurt himself. Has he got bruises?

i have often laughed when ds has fallen over, its the shocked look on his face or when he is doing his dramalama sad face not a great idea to laugh as it annoys him

not if he has hurt himself of course

RunYouBastardRun · 20/08/2012 21:44

I just pissed myself when my dd started crying because she'd gone to sleep inside her duvet cover, woken up and couldn't get out. So no, yanbu.

Aww bless him, can't have hurt that much. I laughed today when I was washing up and heard 'help help' and DS was half stuck under my mattress after trying to get the cat out from under my bed. Little monkey. He wasn't hurt just shocked he was stuck. Didn't stop him trying to do it again 5 minutes later

Psammead · 20/08/2012 21:48

Children's accidents are hilarious. Obviously not if they get actually hurt at all.

Tillyscoutsmum · 20/08/2012 21:48

DD often used to fall out, stay fast asleep and somehow wriggle herself half under the bed. I'd go in to find just her lower half sticking out from under the bed like some kind of car mechanic Grin

Ds1 once trapped himself under his mattress by swing on his bed guard and tipping the whole thing off. I could hear some muffled sounds but it wasn't too loud so I only went in a few minutes later. He was not amused when I extracted him, but if was very funny Grin

firemansamisnormansdad · 20/08/2012 22:21

When my DS was 6we went on holiday to Spain and we heard a "help, help"and she'd fallen down the loo. You just saw her head sticking out and her shins/feet waggling about. I tell this story to her teachers each year and they laugh hilariously.

I had a sleepwalker. It was often quite amusing to go up to bed to find her curled (bum up in the air) on the landing. She never had any memory of getting there. This was up until she was about 9.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 20/08/2012 22:25

I woke up inside my duvet cover as a kid, and couldn't get out. It was really terrifying and I just couldn't understand why I was trapped, or even if I was awake or not.

Teamumizumi · 20/08/2012 22:29

Are you the child of Run? See above.

topknob · 20/08/2012 22:31

YANBU I still laugh now when the kids fall out of bed and the youngest is 7...some people are soooo PFB 3)

Teamumizumi · 20/08/2012 22:32

What's PFB 3?

MrsKeithRichards · 20/08/2012 22:35

I laugh a lot.

WorraLiberty · 20/08/2012 22:38

I'm absolutely terrible

I have a laughing reflex when anyone falls over or trips up...it's unstoppable like a sneeze or something.

Obviously I'm heading towards them at the same time to make sure they're ok, but I just always burst out laughing Blush

DozyDuck · 20/08/2012 22:40

Worra I do the same Sad I don't find it funny either I think it's terrible... But I laugh Blush

QOD · 20/08/2012 22:44

Snore snore splutter snore THUD ...snore .....

I regularly hear the thump and dash upstairs to find my 5 yo DS asleep on the floor, wrapped in duvet.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 20/08/2012 23:11

Mine does this. In the caravan once he fell out, went back to sleep on the floor under the bed. When I went in to see where he was in the morning, he'd "disappeared". That one made me jump a bit as I thought he might have fallen out of the window!

He had been sleeping on the floor, with no duvet, in a caravan at Easter, he was like a little icicle.

I've got him a cabin bed now - it's high, but it has a rail which keeps him in. Normal beds are no good.

nokidshere · 20/08/2012 23:15

Mine fell out of bed once or twice as littlies and they never woke up either - it was funny finding them asleep on the floor though :)

Minshu · 20/08/2012 23:21

My DD fell out of bed in a holiday cottage when she'd only been out of a cot a few weeks. Bless 'er - by the time I'd got into the room, she was half way back into bed, sobbing. She had absolutely no recollection by the next morning.

I want to get rid of her bed guard, but she won't let me...
