i may get flamed, but i'm awake and i'm gutted about it!!
i get up uncomfortably early in the week, as most of us do, and spend all week looking forward to sleeping in a bit on the weekend.
not til afternoon - just til 9 on a saturday and 10 on a sunday would be bliss!
however, since my neighbour got a new partner i have been woken up every weekend.
i sleep with the window closed on weekends to try and keep the noise down (they go outside, have a very yappy dog etc) but i'm generally woken by diy, housework, music, or doors that slam so loudly my lightshade rattles!
i know people have a right to live their lives, there just seems to be no respect whatsoever about the noise they create.
ds has started to enjoy lie-ins too but they wake him too, and also keep him awake during the week as they have rigged up a speaker system to their tv, which rumbles all evening long.
i guess i just want to moan...
i know i need to broach the subject with them gently at some point soon, the prospect of which does not excite me!

Lady - i know, it sounds crap having it said back to me
but maybe not to be woken before 9 on a sunday every weekend?
compo - they are in their 50s or 60s!!!

YANBU to want a lie-in, but I'm afraid YwouldBU if you asked them to keep silent until you had got out of bed at the weekend.

If the TV is load and keeps your son awake then perhaps you could ask them to turn it down a bit, if I was your neighbour I wouldn't mind that at all. But if you asked me not to put music on at 8.30am then I would just ignore you, sorry!
