to think that DH could arrange not to snore on Mothers' Day?

[laughorcry]

Off to bed shortly (not in UK) and have had a much better Mothers' Day than many from what I have read on here.

But couldn't help but notice that DH is onto his second whiskey and know that this means serious snoring. So AIBU to think that he could have abstained for tonight so that I could enoy a lie in and a decent night's sleep (kids allowing)?

YANBU. I am in the same boat and have just had a big grumble about it.

Ah - a fellow sufferer!

As if the ear infections, nightmares and cuddly toy related crises of the kids weren't enough......

Get them to sleep on the spare bed/couch for the night.

My dh has volunteered to do that, following my tirade about his appalling snoring last night.

We were staying with friends which was always going to result in my getting very little sleep, as 17mo dd2 co-sleeps and has a stinking cold. I was prepared to grin & bear that, but then he got drunk and snored like some kind of heavy industrial machine all night. We were put in separate single beds and I lay awake all night racking my brains to think what I could throw at him without waking dd2.

I'm knackered now and just saw red when I saw him downing his second drink of the evening.

Don't blame you - it's morning here now and I feel like a zombie even though only one wake up call from the kids.

The thought of single beds makes my blood run cold - the only comfort I get is 'nudging' progressively harder until I at least get the satisfaction of knowing that dh is pretty much awake.

Then, of course, it is a race against time to try to get to sleep before he starts again. Really conducive to relaxation!

Hope that you did better than me last night Aranea.

Snowflake - I wish! NO chance at all that dh would give up his comfy bed for the night sadly.

Has he tried breatheright snore strips?

My DH will sometimes sleep on the sofa if I am desperate for a decent night's sleep.

He hasn't - thanks for the tip Bumperlicious. Perhaps I should count myself lucky - he only snores like a hog when he has had spirits to drink for some reason.

It is annoying enough though. The snore strips might require more co-operation than I can get from him when he has been on the whiskey!
