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?!

It’s ‘lie-in’ not ‘lay in’

"Go nuts! Really. Most people may be mildly irritated!"

If I've been up all night with the baby and I'm suffering from sleep deprivation, and we're finally asleep, anyone who knocks at my door at silly o'clock will get short shrift!

I have had bangs at the door many times when trying to sleep after night shift (so the equivalence of getting woken in the middle of the night, not 8.30!) - I never blame them, they are doing a job!

OP I really think you need to take some time to reflect on what you have. A lovely baby whom you are currently able to stay at home with and enjoy. A good 8+ hours of sleep most nights and a lie in everyday (yes to most people with children, 8.30 is a lie in!). In fact I don't think I know anyone who regularly lies in until this time, parent or not.

You have people who care about you - look at the lovely gifts and cards you have received. Your dad minded your baby overnight! Something some of us never have. You were able to afford dinner out with a friend.

Try to take time to appreciate what you have, it is easy to instead wallow in what you don't have (we have all been there!). I find that actively thinking about the positives greatly helps my mood.

Obviously shouting at this driver wasn't your finest hour but clearly you have realised this so I think it is time to move on from this.

When I want to nap through baby sleep deprivation I a pop a do not disturb unless important note on my door. I add underneath (sleep deprived mum sleeping). A friend of mine is a nurse so works nights and does the same thing. When people knock on your door daytime and early evening mot wouldn't guess someone was asleep inside would they. Xx

Thank you for your comments. I shall be creating a sign to go on the door just in case 😊

I think you’re being a tiny bit unreasonable, in that you could have gone back to bed, but at the same time I really feel your pain!

Unless the house is on fire, anyone who disturbs my lie ins gets short shrift. I’m dreaming of the long Easter bank holiday in a couple of weeks time when I can finally turn off my alarm for a couple of days. If anyone tries to wake me up on Sunday morning, fire and brimstone is likely to emerge from my bedroom

Some people are more able to get up easily or cope with less than adequate sleep. Alas, I am not one of those people.

I understand where you're coming from. It's one thing for a delivery person to knock on the door but when they start hammering like it's an emergency then it pisses me off.

YANBU I also hate being woken up early by delivery people or even worse random sales people banging on my door before 9am.

It is rude to bang on the door like that, it really pisses me off. I work shifts so sometimes I'm not going to answer the door. That is a persons right, there is no duty to answer the door.

That being said, wait until your child is in school... you'll likely need to be up as standard, an hour before your current normal wake up time. Yikes. Good luck.
