7 yr old wakes up baby

[imsotired1]

Long time lurker but its 5:13am and I'm tired and pissed off so decided to make an account.

My aibu is to that I'm getting annoyed my DSD (7) keeps talking in her sleep and waking DD (13 months) but I get the brunt of it from DP.

Our current circumstances mean they're in the same room but every time she stays she talks in her sleep and wakes the baby, baby will winge and DD tells her to shhh (understandable, she doesn't realise she woke her). I have to bring her onto the sofa and will do this until Monday morning. It takes me 3 days to get her back into normal routine but by the time she's sleeping again, DSD is back and repeat...

DP moans saying I know she's coming over so I should sleep on sofa with her from the get go! Can't have her in our bed and she just wouldn't settle. She's a sweat box and would get unbelievably hot in bed with the duvet.

So please mumsnetters, can I have some advice on how to handle this? I'm too tired!

Travel cot in your bedroom for baby ?

Definitely agree with you sleeping in DSD's bed and DP sleeping with his nighttime chatting DD. Problem solved! Didn't think of that one before i commented before 🤷🏼‍♀️

Him and the girl, and you and the boy, done, Why are you even thinking about this. FFS

I also agree with the solution where you sleep in DSD's bed and she is in with her dad. That way your DS's routine won't be disturbed.

Is buying a house with him a good idea then? He sounds like a selfish dickhead.

It’s not DSD’s fault she sleep talks, she can’t help it at all. My DS does it sometimes too and I know I did it for many years. It’s a common affliction, nothing can really be done to prevent it.

I agree with PP’s really, she should share your bed with her Dad and you take her bed in the other room or I would put DS in a travel cot in your room if his big cot won’t fit in your room?

Get a doghouse for your idiot husband for him to sleep in and you and the girls stay in your new house

@EKGEMS love it 😂

I'm back.. DSD put foot down she wanted to sleep in her bed, DP couldn't believe I'd even suggest such an evil thing and me and DD are in living room with travel cot.

Disclaimer: I don't have to sleep in living room with her but annoyed that DP thinks one child's sleep is more important that the others, so the sofa is now my best friend!

So what is the position with the new house? Are you both buying it?

So why did you not put your foot down that dad could sleep on the sofa and you have the bed with the baby ???? Why is his comfort and sleep more important than yours??

Why isn’t he on the sofa
DSD far enough but you have a real partner issue you need to sort

Think I'll be staying where I am. And DD gets sweaty in the bed tbh
