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?

You just sound like a twat now. Poor kid

This is a joke right?

The response was not aimed at the attempted sarcastic or humorous (if you wish, although it was not particularly funny either) last post by OP. My comment was about the series of elaborate posts she left on this thread and the general attitude...
But it's my opinion only anyway.

I thought it was very funny tbh.

She’s got an unfortunate posting style. It came out early that she wasn’t looking for feedback - only validation. When the validation didn’t come she got very stroppy indeed. Some mumsnetters don’t realise that when you post in AIBU, you might be told you’re unreasonable!

That's the parenting dream isn't it? They leave and go off and succeed rather than turning into the boomerang man children kids we see everywhere.

Surely "the dream" is that they leave and forge independent lives but also have strong happy adult relationships with their parents?

I think you have missed my point.
