To say DD cannot have a bath after midnight?

DD is just getting in the bath. I am right next door sleeping and the running water woke me up!!

She is 18 and obviously can do what she likes but it's woken me up, so AIBU?

It's not the most considerate thing in the world, but I often have showers after midnight because I absolutely HATE morning showers and need to have them at night.

So, my usual time if I've not been out is a 9pm shower. If I've been out late, it could easily be after midnight.

However, DH and I are on the same schedule so no worry of waking him Grin So, different circumstances entirely.

Maybe I should just stop talking now... Grin Yes, I really should go to bed... 😔

YANBU.

What's her reason for choosing to shower at that time? If it's a one-off and it's because she got in late or something, then that's understandable.

But if it's because she faffed about and is just choosing to shower at that time, then she's being unreasonable.

YANBU at all. Consideration for others in life is key. It's not ok to wake other people up.

refred · 26/06/2017 02:34

I would check she's ok though and not having a bath for some odd reason.

crazywriter · 26/06/2017 03:47

As pp have said what's her reason? I used to suffer (and still do sometimes) from terrible insomnia and a bath was the only way I could sometimes sleep but I would always check peple in the house werent being woken. Also getting a shower at 1am after getting in from work was sometimes usual time (worked in a bar in my later teenage years).

YANBU to be annoyed at being woken but you could BU depending on the reason.

BigFatGoalie · 26/06/2017 04:09

I would go and talk to her instead of putting it on MN...

Aquamarine1029 · 26/06/2017 04:15

Living with other people demands that you have courtesy for the other people you live with. You need to talk to her about what you expect from her and how you want things to happen in your home.

MsPassepartout · 26/06/2017 05:29

Did you talk to her about it?

As a general rule, it's an inconsiderate time to be having a bath or shower if you're that close to someone else's bedroom.

Sparklingbrook · 26/06/2017 06:33

Just talk to her. Not sure how posting on here helps. Confused

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 26/06/2017 06:34

Is she just getting in from work?

Cailleach666 · 26/06/2017 07:04

That would be no big deal to me. I have a 17 year old and a 19 year old, they often have late activities.

I have these- they are brilliant'

She probably didn't consider whether it would wake you up, talk to her this morning and discuss a few rules.

My teen likes a very late shower but I don't mind.

Giddyaunt18 · 26/06/2017 07:20

YANBU It's inconsiderate.

winewolfhowls · 26/06/2017 08:28

Is she a gremlin? If no, it's fine

Migraleve · 26/06/2017 08:33

Hope you managed to speak to her OP

It's hard to say whether she is inconsiderate without more information. I mean if she has been lazing about all day and goes for a bath at midnight then i would say yes, inconsiderate. If she has been out working at a fish farm, then not so.

I agree with the pp who suggested making sure she is ok given it seems to be out of the ordinary

Mine do this but are A Level revising so trying to accommodate.
