AIBU to sleep in the spare room tonight?

Partner already snoring away. Kids always come into our room stupidly early to open stockings. Given the amount DP has had to drink, the snoring will go on all night. I don’t want to miss the excitement of the kids coming in, but also really want to sleep!
Do I ride it out or cut my losses and head down to the spare room? (We’re in the loft so I would be on a different floor)

I would go in the spare room but I hate lying there listening to Dh snoring all night it makes me want to murder him

Are earplugs an option

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/12/2020 23:30

Earplugs? Will the DC be confused or upset if you’re not there when they come in?

I would go to spare room and set an alarm for a time early enough to get back to room before kids. (If possible!)

Invest in some good earplugs.

Go to the spare room!

Earplugs

Spare room! Father Christmas could leave a note on the door saying where you are?

How do ppl wear earplugs? I wouldn't like it at all! I wake at any noise, including if my son was up (he used to sleepwalk!!) - what about intruders or smoke alarm??

Sleep in the kids room on some cushions OP and tell them DH was snoring all night.

Spare room. If the kids know where to come and find you sleep away u til they wake up.

If they don't, then set an alarm to wake up before them.

Either way make sure you get a good night's sleep.

I'm in the spare room as DH has a bit of a cold and his snoring is horrendous when he's like that. I'll hear DS stir anyway so will go and get him and then all go into our room

Spare room! You will have a busy day tomorrow so you need as much sleep as you can.
