Holiday other mum

[hipslikecinderella]

In a goregous holiday bungalow with another family. Men went out to play golf at 7am, my dcs woke up and made some noise.
Normal noise, but other mum came out of her room mad and begged "please let my child sleep a bit longer, its seven o'clock!"
To us this isn't early.
We're in an open plan bungalow which they booked. It's a bit ridiculous imo to be precious about sleep at this time of day?

You may not have decided on shared accommodation if things like this had been discussed beforehand.

7 isnt early and she is being a bit of a CF but you also need to compromise. We go on holiday with in laws and its manic lol. Mine sleep in later but they dont tend to wake from noise. I have to relax or holiday would be ruined. I think she needs to get over it if you are not letting them shout there not much you can do.

Not your fault you all got woken by blokes getting up at stupid oclock. I think try and keep kids quiet if you can, maybe put a dvd on or give them the tablet to play on, or even go outside, but I wouldnt take it too far either. Its hardly the middle of the night

@Skyejuly - 7 isnt early

That's more of the morning person virtue signalling. 7 is ridiculously early if you're on holidays.

Mine get up late...so do I but 7am isnt worth stressing over. 4am or 5am is too early. 7am is fine for kids.

7am is fine for kids

No it really isn't. Not on holiday. Id bloody cry if mine got up at 7 at the weekend never mind on holiday. Reading this thread makes me so thankful my family has the same body clock and also has made my mind up never to share accommodation with another family on holiday ever.

It's not ridiculously early for the golfers who are also on holiday

But If you go on holiday with another family with young children you must know there is a chance you can get woken up? I dont tell people when to go to bed or wake up on holiday!

Depends entirely on the age of the dc.
If 4 and under, there's probably not much you can do. 5 or over, and it'd be reading/iPad for me until at least 8am. And no cereal or bowls banging, maybe some fruit only till 8.

I'd cheerfully murder anyone who woke me up at 7am on holiday

Did they need to make breakfast the second they awoke? If they’d played quietly/watched tv on a tablet for an hour it would have been a more reasonable time surely to wake everyone up. I’d be miffed at being left with dc (and a woman I didn’t get on with well) while my husband had his jollies with her partner. I doubt there was any quid pro quo.

7 is very early, but for me an absolute wonderful lay in, our DS are normally awake anywhere between 5.15-6.15. If one sleeps later, guaranteed the other wakes early. I'm sure they plot it that way!
I don't think either family are U, just different routines. This is always the problem with sharing accommodation.

I think neither of you are BU really. If your children are up then it's hard to expect them to sit quietly in their rooms (depends on the age though, young children I wouldn't expect to) and if they are keeping it down, then it's a shame the accommodation is so echoey! But equally it's fair enough that her DC wants/needs to sleep past 7am.
