To think this a perfectly reasonable time to be asleep?!

I've just lurched put of bed and opened the door to a very confused amazon man in my nightie. I quite often go to bed with the DC when DH is on a late shift as I'm permanently knackered with a baby and a toddler who like to tag team night waking. He asked me if I'd been asleep very accusingly and snorted derisively when I admitted I had Xmas Grin. Is it that weird to have an early night?!

I would have been asleep an hour already if it wasn’t the only time I get to hang out with DH without DS who is currently waking me up every hour at night Xmas Sad not weird at all!

I get into my PJs (please note, not nightie) and dressing gown pretty much as soon as I get in so any delivery man arriving beyond about 7pm would find me like that.

If they asked if I was in bed I would just throw them a haughty stare and a "No!"

Many people work shifts and delivery people should be used to this.....

‘Oh, I’m sorry I woke you’ is the only acceptable reply. Idiot.

Shock Horror. Breaking news! Not everyone gets up/goes to bed at the same time.

He was rude.

I’m envious of you though, I can’t ‘bank’ sleep like that. If I went to bed at 8:30 I’d be awake by 2 and that would be me for the day.

Not an unreasonable time to be asleep given your circumstances. But Amazon deliver up until 9pm, it says so on the website.

Did you not get a notification to say your order was being delivered today? Or was it not an order you were expecting?

YABU. That is very early for an adult unless sick etc.

I do the same @QueenAmongstMen Smile

Before children I went to bed at 1am. But it wouldn't occur to me to judge someone else going at 8? 5pm, maybe slightly odd but otherwise who cares?

YANBU

Even before having a baby I would often have an early night. I need 8 hours sleep minimum to function properly, but do much better on 9 or 10 hours sleep. But I do have a chronic pain condition so I'm pretty much permanently exhausted. Now I have a baby, If I can, I sleep whenever baby sleeps no matter what time it is

Sympathies! I had to stumble down the stairs to answer my door at 8am. I’d been awake from 7 but it was my day off and I was enjoying a coffee and some bed TV before getting up. So I answered the door, no make up and with disheveled bed hair. The courier asked why I was still in bed Hmm

Wanker.

Jakeyboy1 · 20/12/2017 22:29

No but maybe put a note on the door (not that Amazon men take a fat lot of notice).

I have a habit of getting in from work and putting PJs on straight away. One day I answered the door around 6.30 to Avon lady in Dressing gown with hair wet from shower. She thought this was hysterical, I'm still not sure why?!

MrsEricBana · 21/12/2017 11:14

Totally reasonable if you were tired/unwell. My postman was surprised to discover I wasn't in when they tried to deliver to me at 7.40am yesterday. I was in, I was IN BED.

Didntcomeheretofuckspiders · 21/12/2017 12:30

DP and I are usually in bed by 9 and have no children! We both get up before 6 most mornings and aren’t the sort of people who will compromise on sleep if we an help it! 10 is a late night for us!!
