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

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?!

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

Me!! Well sometimes until 09.30 hrs.

What a stupid comment! 08.30 hrs isn't all day and even if people do you don't know their lifestyle.
I wish people would fuck off with their sneezy unhelpful posts.

NorthernLurker · 11/03/2018 16:07

I suspect the flowers are from your mum. Try and look grateful.

BrollyDolly · 11/03/2018 16:13

I'd imagine if it was a neighbours emergency there would also be panicked shouting as well.

Greatduck They also say "we was." You reckon that's correct too? Grin

cucaracha · 11/03/2018 16:43

You do come across as rather ungrateful and slightly naive if you think 8hours is anything other than a really good nights sleep.

talking about stupid comments

DalekDalekDalek · 11/03/2018 16:55

There are so many people on MN moaning about not getting anything on Mother's Day, complaining about getting the wrong thing and criticising the card they received. Now it is inconsiderate to try and deliver flowers.

Someone sent you flowers, which is a nice thing.
A company tried to deliver the flowers on what is probably the second busiest day of the year for them.
You then yelled at the person delivering to go away rather than answer the door.
Your neighbours then had to be woken up because you couldn't be bothered to get out of bed.

But some how you are the victim? Confused

KarmaStar · 11/03/2018 16:55

You are lucky OP to have a dc and a lovely mum who had your dc overnight so you could go out,then a nice neighbour who even brought your flowers to you,and is your mum having your dc until tonight?
I wonder if she sent you today's flowers?
Enjoy the rest of day,hope your mum gets spoilt too

I didn't say lay was correct tbf Wink

BrollyDolly · 11/03/2018 17:29

Wish people would read my updates! I have already acknowledged the fact that I was obviously being unreasonable!

Okay so 8 hours is not enough sleep for me. I need around 10 to be able to function properly.

My mum didn't have my DD, my dad did. And I picked her up this morning. Yes I've got my mum presents and flowers from us both and also a take away tonight!

8.30 is plenty lie in time. What a rude rude person you are.

Like fuck it is! I intended to lie in till 11 this morning. Sadly my cat shares your sentiments.

(And in case anyone feels they should call the RSPCA on me, I gave her an extra meal at midnight, she was fine. Just bored.)

BrollyDolly · 11/03/2018 17:31

What part of this am I saying I'm a victim ? I asked if it was unreasonable because it's the only lie in I've had for quite a long time! Turns out it's acceptable to knock on doors at that time on a Sunday morning if you have a delivery. You keep talking like I'm thick!

AlmostDoneWithThis · 11/03/2018 17:36

Oh come on greatduck! please argue with me. Can't you see I'm twitching for one here? GrinGrin

DalekDalekDalek · 11/03/2018 17:41

So, how was the delivery person supposed to know that it was your first lie in for a while?

DNAwrangler · 11/03/2018 18:07

I get you OP. I don't believe people wouldn't be annoyed at having an anticipated treat snatched away.

It doesn't matter that some people get up for the day at 4 am, and that others hate lie inside. It was your treat and it's gone.

I suppose a do not disturb sign would be good in future. Shouldn't really need it imo, but clearly people will wake you up on Sundays..

Plumsofwrath · 11/03/2018 18:37

Ok so you accept it’s unreasonable to have got mad at the delivery driver this morning etc etc.

But you know you need 10 hours of sleep to keep the anxiety and depression at bay. You have a baby so you know that the odds of getting that day in day out are likely slim. This is one of those days. Isn’t that just life? Aren’t you used to it by now? Do you have to get so het up about it?

Downtheroadfirstonleft · 11/03/2018 19:20

Let's hope the poor delivery person wasn't tired/ anxious/ struggling/ whatever. You behaved v badly OP.

I regularly lie in til 10am.

peachgreen · 11/03/2018 21:06

Genuine, non-aggressive question: how are you regularly managing 10hrs sleep with a baby? Or 8 for that matter? Please share your secrets!

BrollyDolly · 11/03/2018 21:23

I don't know? I got lucky I guess with a sleeping baby! She has slept through since 8 weeks. Don't get me wrong she wakes up on the odd occasion but normally just for a cuddle and she goes straight back down.

She's never been great at sleeping in the day so not sure if that's got anything to do with it?

OP posts:
peachgreen · 11/03/2018 21:28

I've still got time then - maybe mine will magically sleep at that age too (she also doesn't sleep during the day!)

RedForFilth · 11/03/2018 21:36

8:30 is a lay in to me Blush I'm a single mum though and have a busy job so I'm always tired no matter how much sleep I get!
