AIBU to refuse a Year 9 staying up for the 1am match?

[BlackTulipss]

Is this unreasonable?
Apparently "every other mum" is letting their school year 9 kid watch the 1am match tonight and phone in sick to school tomorrow morning then go in at lunch.
I've said no to staying up to watch it. Starts at 1am, it will go on till 3:30am, or later if extra time!
DS has to get up at 6:30 for school.
DH says let him, keeps going on about once every 4 years experience, it's only 1 night, etc. And he says it will be the final England match - they'll be knocked out by Mexico tonight so there will be no other England games to watch after tonight.
DS badly needs his sleep and at 14 he still needs a solid 11 hours to function.
Is anyone else letting their DC watch it live tonight?
AIBU?

Seems news of England's demise was greatly exaggerated!

This.

What a brilliant game! I hope the lad watched it live.

I didn’t. If it was the semi or final I would have but it wasn’t even a quarter. It didn’t start till 2am in the end.

My 11 year old went to bed at 8. His dad got him up to watch it. Made hot dogs and had m&Ms and nachos. Caffeine free coke and his dad had non alcoholic beer.

No way I was getting up for it, but I’m glad they made a mini event of it. I can hear his footsteps now so this morning isn’t going to be a problem.

Hope you let him watch it - sounds like it was a cracking match

This is lovely. He’ll remember it for life!

Brilliant! He won’t be tired today, the adrenaline will carry him through!

Please tell us if you let him watch it. Hoping you did and you have a tired happy lad on your hands.

Yeah I do, and I think it was a terrible game. Happy Norway won… but a bit baffled by your question 😂
