DS and his GF set off the fire alarm at 2 in the morning

I’m beyond raging but I have no idea if it’s rational. DS claims they were melting chocolate in the microwave to have with some marshmallows and that it hadn’t been in for long when the smoke started coming out. It was 2am, now my 2 year old and 4 year old are both wide awake, my 13 year old was panicking and my 15 year old was woke up as well. They did handle it and open the windows, took me telling them to grab the broom to get the alarm in both the kitchen and hallway off though, as they were trying to do it on the step ladder but our ceilings are high. To make matters worse neither of them were completely dressed, his gf was in what I can only describe as lingerie and DS in his boxers so my teenage sons were also faced with that!

AIBU to be beyond raging and give them both an earful tomorrow? They are 24 and 23, she has her own place so I’m not even sure why they are staying here!!

I have?

So you saw the ops later posts where she's over it and admitted with good grace that her DS is a decent bloke usually and she got cross because it was 2am and she had upset and awake toddlers to deal with.

What the hell.

You'll be wondering in a few years why your DC have gone no contact..

That absolutely won’t happen.

My child has severe autism and is very much attached.

I also doubt my niece will go no contact as she loves me.

It was an accident - your mood can’t have helped the children go back to sleep.
