Husband fell asleep before nye countdown

[Miamommy]

DH drank a few beers from 6pm, we sat downstairs and watched a film he wanted and then he fell asleep as usual and before the countdown, I woke him up before midnight but he could barely open his eyes, I didn’t get a happy new year or a kiss.

I am so pissed off, he always does this, falls asleep but fails to recognise if you drink it’s going to happen, why not tell me and I’ll go up and watch want I actually want to watch.

Then I’ve been up since with our toddler, obviously as he’s drunk he can’t help and like every special day now my New Year’s Day is ruined as i’ll be knackered, this always happens to me because he drinks.

Yet we have time for mumsnet at 3.30am

New Years eve is overrated, just an excuse for drunks to get pissed.

I’m like your husband, have a glass of wine and fall asleep super early much to the hubbies dismay. But 10 years down the line he’s used to it now!
Even a film I really want to watch if I’ve had wine I’ll fall asleep in it... to be expected really.
So what I’m trying to say if you say you expect it well then why bother getting upset?? You say he fails to recognise that it will happen but it happens every time.
Go to sleep and enjoy your NY day with your little one whilst he’s got a stinky hangover.

(I’m a glass of wine though not pissed as a fart)

There's two things here:
You say he always does this. So why expect anything different this year?
If he always does this And it irks you then why haven't you discussed this with him?

Not taking his side because he sounds like an arse, but if he is clueless about his unsavoury behaviour then you should tell him. Not us

Are you saying he actually has a drink problem?
I don't get the fuss about NYE and the countdown, sorry.

Sorry you're feeling like this OP. It's pretty shitty.

I'm in a similar situation in that DH drank too much, woke baby DD up and she can't be resettled. I'm so fucking tired and tomorrow it's all on me as DH will be hungover. Urgh. Happy new year to us!

Sounds like a pity party...you didn’t get a new year kiss, world ending. And you’re toddler won’t sleep, must be someone else’s fault, new year ruined...fml give me attention

I have told him, he drinks basically every weekend and it’s an ongoing argument, I don’t like the drink, he does, it makes him moody too... every special occasion or day if he’s drank it’s not just the falling asleep it’s the fact the kids end up waking up n I have to be the one to lose sleep and then wake up early too, I’m here complaining as I’m too annoyed to fall asleep now.

Then you need to stop drip feeding and give the full facts in the daytime. For now maybe get some sleep for the sake of your children

Blimey. It’s hardly the end of the world, is it?!

I don't know why people are being dicks op.

He shouldn't be getting drunk every weekend and leaving you with the brunt of childcare.

It sounds like his behaviour isn't new though. Why are you putting up with it? It doesn't sound like this is a new relationship?
If you don't like it then talk to him and discuss your worries. If he brushes it off then maybe you're not a good match. He sounds like a young boy

Sorry, posted too soon.

He sounds like a young boy who won't accept his responsibilities

Nye isn't all that.

So it's not the falling asleep on NYE that bothers you, rather the persistent drinking and not doing his share of childcare? That's a different issue altogether....

Yabu about New Year’s Eve.

Yanbu about it happening every weekend.

Falling asleep before the countdown? Meh, no big issue. I did too.
Drinking too much every weekend and leaving the childcare to you is a problem, however.
