WIBU to never go on family holiday again?

[MamaDuckling]

Loooong story but I'll try to keep it brief.

My family and I (10 in total, all adults except our two young DC) have for a long time done an annual villa holiday. This year I suggested that DH, DC and I would get a separate villa close to theirs as our DS is a very noisy early riser, and DD doesn't sleep through yet. My family LOVE to lie in and I foresaw problems with the kids spoiling everyone's rest. This suggestion was quickly dismissed, they all insisted they wanted us all to be together and of course understood that two young kids come with some noise.....

Fast forward and we are 4 days in, we have today been relegated to the crappy room on the ground floor (all of us, despite there being a more suitable separate room for 2yr old DS upstairs), because the noise is too much. We have done everything we can to keep him quiet but he's up at 6am and my family don't typically want to wake up until at least 10am (lazy arses IMO but I respect that we are all different).

It all came to a head this morning and I fell out with DB over it (himself expecting his first DC, ha!). He suggested we all decant into this one room. I have DD in travel cot next to me, DS on a mattress at the end of the bed, and snoring DH by my side. I am simply fucked off beyond belief.

WIBU to never do a stupid family holiday ever again based on our experience this time? I now just feel like we are a nuisance to everyone and wish we hadn't come at all.

so basically they are boozing and sleeping it off the next day?

Oh yeah, they booze until the small hours, every night.

Glad to hear it is reaching an agreement, of sorts.

I read this thread with interest, all three of mine have always been good sleepers and tbh I did always assume that it was mostly because we were always quite strict about routine, sending them back to bed until after 7.30am etc, but I never have actually said that to anyone! However this thread has made me realise it was probably mostly luck!!!

Op I hope you manage to get a more relaxing holiday next time and that your brother makes an effort to patch things up, whatever unresolved issues he has from childhood! For what its worth, I don't think you have been unreasonable at all in this.

ok so poisoning themselves with booze and having raging hangovers is going to make them lovely company......yes definitely they will be able to have nice chats about sharing childcare,eating lovely food and be respectful of others.
What a waste of what could have been a good time.

Did anyone else get their stuff nicked?

I'll guess you'll have to arrange getting a police report and all that stuff, for the insurance.

I can't help feeling that it would be really satisfying to just pack up and disappear home/to a hotel while they are all sleeping off their hangovers without a word of warning or explanation.

Ha! The drinking puts the 10am lie in into perspective. So your DBro doesn't want to moderate his own adult behaviour re drinking and staying up late (his choice, his holiday), but swears at you for not moderating a two year old's behaviour?

Bellend.

So they're hungover and want a lie in? I mean that's ok if you're on your own/adult holiday but ffs you don't then yell at kidsfor being up early.
They are going to have a very rude awakening when the baby arrives. Or not maybe... there's a few folk I know who appear (from Facebook) to have perfect sleepers and who still chug the wine back most nights.

Not jealous at all, oh no ( not had a drink for the best part of two years due to pregnancy, Ds being in our bed and being so fucking sleep deprived the thought of a hangover is hell...)

The only solution is to be adult about it (which you obviously are having spoken to them) and just trying to get through it. Then nevereverever going on holiday with them again. Even if they beg you to once the baby arrives

Have you reported the thread 2bees?

Bloody hate troll hunting.
