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?!

@BrollyDolly

As you can see by a lot of the responses here, a lot of people do find it acceptable to knock at 8.30 on a Sunday morning.

Personally I'm jealous af that some people think 8.30am is early to wake up.

Also as annoyed as you are now, imagine how pissed the neighbours will be to have been woken up to receive YOUR flowers because you couldn't be bothered

Ah OP - why couldn't they leave the flowers by the door?

Whilst it's lovely that someone wanted to send you flowers obvs 8.30 on a Sunday is early esp if you've been out on the lash.

Honestly you were very rude and I feel sorry for your neighbours, who had to get out of bed to take in your parcel. Why didn't you just open the door for the delivery, as you were awake anyway, and then go back to bed?

Sorry OP but if your baby goes to sleep at 8 and wakes up at 8.30 and you regularly get 8 hours sleep I can't have much sympathy! I try not to see parental sleep deprivation as a competition but that's LOADS! My baby sleeps 10pm to 6am with a 2am wake up and I feel really lucky!

When I sent flowers to my Mum recently I had to say on the order form how the deliverer was to 'behave' as it were.

EG 'leave with neighbour' 'be patient' 'leave in porch' or whatever, the person sending them may have known you would be in and ticked a box to 'keep trying' but not ticked 'leave on doorstep'. So they may have just been doing their best to follow instructions, you can't really take flowers back to the shop as they start deteriorating.

Anxiety and depression can make sleep rare and precious. Yanbu op. Please ignore the eejits who think it's so simple to go back to bed and pass out immediately when your head is raging with thoughts and feelings.

lost all sympathy for your missed 'lie in - Kent here', your baby usually wakes at 8.30!!!! wow! My three children have, never, ever slept in that late. Consider yourself lucky you can possibly sleep in that late. I think the latest, in all the 13 year's that I have been a parent, that I have woken is 7.15.

There are plenty of people who’d love to be receiving a bouquet today who sadly will not be. 8.30 doesn’t seem an unreasonable time for you to answer the door for your delivery, I’d be annoyed to have a knock on my door for my neighbours delivery though, so actually yabvu and my sympathies go to your neighbour.

8.30 is your normal wake up time?? Get a grip OP. I was up at 6.45 this morning. I might have been more sympathetic if your baby went to bed at midnight but 8pm is hardly late. Do some jobs round the house during the day like I do then you will have more time at night.

Have you got your flowers now, OP?

If you got up to look out the window; could you not have answered the door then? Surely you stood a better chance of getting back to sleep if you quickly grabbed them and went back to bed?

If there was no chance you'd get back to sleep anyway, you wouldn't have got back to sleep even when they'd only knocked, so you may as well have got up.

I can see that you wanted a lie in but things happen; and at least the flowers only woke you up at your normal wake up time and not even earlier.

Have you got your flowers now? I hope your neighbour was already awake; or they got an even more irritating morning being woken up for someone else's flowers!

Yes I posted to say that the neighbour actually bought the flowers round to me. She was absolutely fine about it and said I was very welcome when I thanked her for taking them in for me.

Who were they from OP?

I can't see past how well your baby sleeps. That's amazing and I'm so jealous! Happy mothers day!

Sorry, I sometimes skip a page when the thread gets really long! (Yeah yeah, RTFT.)

I was up with feverish DC from 1-3.30 and up at 7. I am ill myself. I am also pregnant. And I have anxiety and depression. So forgive me for not having bags of sympathy for your plight. It must be hideous to be woken at a reasonable hour by somebody bearing gifts.

I was thinking that your baby sleeps a lot better than my now 6 year old DD2, who regularly comes into our bed at night or cries in her sleep. I've had so many disturbed nights. So I'm struggling to find much sympathy as well.

It's okay I know now that i am being unreasonable!

No name in the card so literally no idea who they're from 😐

Start a new thread op puzzling who they’re from? (Would it not be your baby’s dad?)

On the first chance at a full night’s sleep I had when my baby was about 7 months I was a bit pissed off that DH went for a 4am wee and woke me up. Yanbu to be disappointed but this isn’t really anyone’s fault.

No my baby has nothing to do with her dad. He dumped me when he found out I was pregnant and haven't seen or heard from him since. Also he doesn't know where I live now.

I had already received flowers from my step dad and a card from my dad and step mum from my daughter. I will see my mum tonight so I might find out then!

Who lazes about in bed all day once no longer a teenager?

Lay is definitely a regional thing. I've heard someone on Eastenders say it. So it must be true

being rudely awaken at 8:30am on a Sunday:

real life: how annoying, I hate when that happens
MN: Who lazes about in bed all day once no longer a teenager?
How dare we forget about the competitive early waking-up on here, where posters are regularly up from 3am cleaning the house and making lunch

@BrollyDolly

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

How did you know it wasn't an emergency though? It could have been your neighbour frantically needing help as her husband was seriously ill etc.
