P2202 · 25/12/2018 03:35

I'm the crazy one that's awake because I'm petrified we get burgled and DS's presents from Santa get taken 😂. DH and DS are sound asleep. One crazy mamma 😂

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 25/12/2018 03:37

YouBetterWORK · 25/12/2018 03:37

I hear you Another, this little one's stocking will be firmly left downstairs when she's old enough!!

ChristmasSprite · 25/12/2018 03:37

I havent finished preparing and I'm SOOO tired already..Its taking ages..and all I want is to sleep.

Sorry for you all too! Already awake.

I know now why after lunch everyone [adults] always fell asleep!!

ChristmasSprite · 25/12/2018 03:39

Although I don't know what the menz excuse was as they're never kept awake worrying, prepping, or putting out stockings and seeing to dc!

GimmeGimmeHellYeah · 25/12/2018 03:40

Gave up and started opening at 1.45am. Now everything is unwrapped and the living room is chaos. And I'm tired and in a shitty mood.
Happy Christmas.

My 13 year old is still awake and has said she's staying up all night. Brother went to sleep around 12.30am after eating Yule Log he made and going round on her shoulders singing last Christmas, he's 11. I've been watching 4 Weddings and a Funeral. DH went to Mass then spent couple of hours wandering round before sleeping, thankfully he's cooking lunch.

Georgianfairy · 25/12/2018 03:43

3yo DD woke me just before 3am creeping around the house and will not go back to sleep, she's just too excited!

RoxytheRexy · 25/12/2018 03:44

Up feeding my week old DS. DD 3 finally went to sleep at 10:20. We’ve accidentally lucked out it would appear. She’s not a massive fan of Santa so her stocking is downstairs. Daddy lets him in through the door like when ASDA bring the shopping.

Just got a few more hours of cluster feeding to get through and we can be up

MrsStrowman · 25/12/2018 03:45

Surely stockings are 'hung by the chimney with care' to stop DCs waking every five minutes to check?!

Napssavelives · 25/12/2018 03:48

Mine are awake too :(

Buggeritimgettingup · 25/12/2018 03:53

One of mine is.... Currently taking dogs for a quick Wee then I'll have to persuade him to make it past 4, which seems so much friendlier than 3 😂

AnotherOriginalUsername · 25/12/2018 03:53

I've just ordered him a personalised one for next year as they're all reduced 😂

This year his mountain that we told people not to bother with presents are in his moses basket, as let's face it, he doesn't bloody sleep in it!

EmeraldBookshelf · 25/12/2018 03:54

Mine are fast asleep but I’m awake for no reason!

JustABetterPlayer · 25/12/2018 04:23

I am sat outside daughters room (5) repeating the only line I will say at times like this... “lie down, eyes closed” Angry

masterstef · 25/12/2018 04:23

Been up for an hour with 11mo and dh was up for an hour before that. Really starting to despair. 4 yo sound asleep and luckily obeys his gro clock most mornings...

Napssavelives · 25/12/2018 04:27

Mins gone back of but I’m awake 😰got an hour max

Fantababy · 25/12/2018 04:28

20 month old was up for 2 hours - she doesn't even know what Christmas is ffs! She's sleeping now but I can't wind down, and baby no 2 (due April) is kicking like crazy to keep me awake. Xmas Hmm

JustABetterPlayer · 25/12/2018 04:29

Is it too early to open some chocolate I wonder ?!?! Xmas Shock

tryinganewname · 25/12/2018 04:33

4am with the 5 month old so nothing to do with Christmas at all, I'm tempted to just let her get up, but I really want another 2 hours!

To be fair to her, it's usually midnight, 2 and 4 that she wakes for no reason so I really thought I was getting my Christmas wish of an all-night we when she still wasn't awake at 3.30!

OnlineAlienator · 25/12/2018 04:33

Child is asleep but i have terrible period pain Envy
