Have my only lay in ruined by someone banging and ringing on the door?

[BrollyDolly]

Baby free last night as went out for dinner with a friend. Trying to catch up on as much sleep as possible. There was a knock on the door at 8:30. Still asleep so I rolled over. Then comes ringing the door bell multiple times and banging on the door.
I shouted to go away and they did. But it's too late now I'm awake.

Note through door says flowers left with neighbours.
AIBU to be annoyed at this on a Sunday morning and telling them to go away?!

YABU.

You're neighbours had to get up out of bed to take in the flowers that were for you but you couldn't be bothered to get up for.

I know I sound ungrateful but when the baby staying out isn't a regular thing and sleep is the one thing I really appreciate it makes it hard!

Also they could have just knocked once and not banging and ringing the door like it's an emergency.

I've been struggling mentally the last few weeks so I thought being able to catch up on sleep would help with that.

8.30 isn't early really. The delivery person has a job to do. Bringing your Mother's Day flowers!

I really was not expecting anyone to knock on the door. No one ever knock on the door unless I'm rarely expecting a parcel. Definitely was not expecting a knock on the door since I was given flowers already yesterday! I will definitely be putting a note on the door.

If it were 7.30 I could possibly understand. I had a flower delivery at 8.30 too, my husband’s away so I have the whole peaceful bed to myself. I just got up wondering who the hell it could be and was totally surprised by flowers. I’m actually quite happy now

You were very rude and I can't believe that people behave like this!

Why not just get up, open the door, and go back to bed? You were awake anyway

I don't have children but I would consider 8.30 a lie in anyway! That being said I would be surprised to receive a delivery that early on a Sunday. I have to feel more sorry for your neighbour though who was disturbed and then would have had the disappointment of flowers being presented only to be told they aren't for them! YAB a bit U

but since it woke you up anyway why didn't you go and see who it was?

Misses point. Doesn't care.

YANBU

I can't stand people who don't get a hint .If you don't answer the doorbell once, you either don't want to or cannot. Unless there's a fire, no need for insisting like a twat, go away.

I'm with you op. Young children and sleep deprivation can really take their toll on mental health. On the rare occasion I have a deep sleep and somebody slams the door repeatedly like a randy bailiff I tend to be furious. Especially when it turns to be Chris Bryant canvassing for the local counsellor

I get up around 9am when my kids are at home at the weekend, that's not a lay-in!
From 4 ish they are old enough to play in their room, go downstairs, switch on the tv, grab some food from the kitchen counter and entertain themselves for 1 hour or so. Unless you have an alarm downstairs they can't reach, you don't need to get up with school-age children anymore!

Who were the flowers from OP? A family member?

OP don't bother defending yourself.

You wanted sleep. Flowers are nice. Flowers are a want. Sometimes. Although I don't find myself wanting flowers. Sleep is a need.

So the neighbours were disturbed as well?

The ONE chance the op had to catch up on much needed sleep to a time of her choosing (not 8:30am as that isn't enough sleep, might be for some not for others) and she was woken up by an unexpected early morning delivery. Shouting go away or whatever, yeah not great but it's done. Open the door and go back to bed? Some people cannot go back to sleep after waking and then spend the entire fucking day half heartedly doing childcare/housework/job with eyes that burn like hot coals and no energy but with a lovely added bonus of depression or unwelcome intrusive thoughts so no, going back to sleep isn't that bloody simple.

I pity the neighbour who did bother to get up, saw a bouquet of flowers and was then told they're for next door who can't be arsed to get up at 8.30 to receive a gift.

cucaracha but they were delivering flowers on Mother's Day. Not wanting to read the electric meter. If they couldn't leave them in a neighbours porch they'd have had to come back later which I guess would be a pita on a day like this when they're bound to be busy.

TyrannosaurusBex agreed

I wish I got a knock on the door at 8.30 with a beautiful bouquet of flowers

Thanks to the people that do understand where I'm coming from. I'm really not spoilt as someone previously suggested. They could have left them in my porch or in the cupboard next to my porch like the postman does if I'm not in.

Are out my teenage son? I’m locked out and he has slept through my ringing the door bell for 15 mins.

We've stuck a note on our front door bell for this exact reason - 'Baby sleeping. Please do not ring the bell.'

@GetOffTheTableMabel this is a very good point.

OP what was stopping you from going back to bed after?

I'm with you OP. I'd be pissed if someone knocked my door at 8.30 on a Sunday even if it is mothers day. Go round to your neighbours later, thank them for taking your delivery (sure you'd have no problem returning the favour if they ever missed the postie) move on and enjoy your day

I take medication for anxiety and depression which can make it hard for me to wake up properly. But at least when the baby wakes up she's just awake not banging and knocking about so I don't have to rush like it's an emergency.
On the other hand, once I'm awake I can't get back to sleep. If baby woke me up at 3:30 I couldn't get straight back to sleep but then I'd struggle more to wake in the morning because of it. Can't really win
