For not wanting to sleep at my mums after Hen Night?

[BatmansWilly]

My aunt is having her hen night next saturday night. We're all invited and it should be a good laugh. My mum however is insisting that I go back to her house to sleep the night afterwards.

I really don't want to do this. For one thing my mum will start moaning by 10.30pm that she wants to go home and I mean it will be NON STOP NAGGING until I give in. It doesn't finish until 1am and I want to stay till the end.

For another thing, I can't think of anything worse than coming in tipsy from a hen night and having to sleep in the middle of a living room on a folding camp bed and be awoken by the kids first thing in the morning.

Personally I just want to get a taxi home myself.

I think my mum doesn't want to get a taxi by herself and this is why she's decided I should sleep at her house.

AIBU?

YANBU. So your mum has kids too?

YANBU.

You are an adult, you are old enough to make your own decisions in life, including where you sleep after a night out.

Just make sure you're all (including your mum!) are safe :-)

Her husband is having them so they will be at her house all night. Thing is she won't be drinking and gets up at 6am every morning without fail anyway. So the kids won't bother her. But I'd like to enjoy a very, very rare night out freely without having to worry about staying sober or getting up on time etc etc

OH heck even more so YANBU. She must surely realise this?

why don't the 2 of you go back to yours? then you can get a taxi together, you can lie in without the kids waking you up and she can do what she likes

you would think so Dizzy but I just know she's going to go off in a mood over it

She's already saying "we won't be staying until the end will we? I should think we'll be ready for leaving by 11pm, don't you?"

errr no, I'm still in my twenties and I want to stay till the end! lol

Is she worrying about when you will be round to collect them in the morning????

I think this is less 'where you are sleeping' and more who is caring for your children and whether you've agreed for care the next morning aswell....

Blimey in your 20s you should be having fun. How many kids are we talking and how awful are they exactly?

Why can't you just tell her you want to stay til the end and get drunk and sleep in your own bed?
I would ensure that someone ? husband is happy with looking after your kids the next morning though and this isn't the issue.

Think it's a control issue 2rebecca?

It sounds as though the posters stepdad has had the kids dumped on him and is maybe underchuffed by it reading between the lines.

YANBU.

Well if she's up at 6am you can see why she'd want to be in bed early - but there is NO reason why you need to as well! She is BU, YANBU.

oh my mum would be so like this, I sympathise with you..
