Story is need some advice if I'm being unreasonable.

Dss and his friend staying tonight oh his dad is working night shift, I'm up at 7 for work when he comes to stay has to stay with a friend or won't stay , my problem is they are up to 3, 4 or maybe 5 in the morning and I can't sleep with the TV going there talking laughing and noise I need silence to sleep, I told oh that there TV will be turned off at 12 and he told me to leave them alone, they are 14 so surely still need to have rules. I told dp when they here and he's working its my rules or they don't stay I'm I being unreasonable to ask TV to go off at 12. They will be up at 8 for football at 9 and as I have to be up at 7 I don't see a problem with wanting some sleep.

I would of said no they can't stay if your partner is working.

It is entirely unreasonable for them to be keeping you awake into the small hours! Irrespective of whose children they are. My youngest tried this on when he was about 15. I barged into his room and bollocked him loudly, to the amusement of his FIFA mates who could hear me through the headset.

DP is being a twat. He needs to speak to DSS and set some sensible boundaries; no teenager is entitled to keep adults awake when they have to be up in the morning.

I don't mind him being here while he's working, but if he's working it's me that sets the rules.

@Pearlpink @sadpapercourtesan
I think dp is ascared to set rules and things cause he is never told no incase he does not come back to stay. Me on the other hand thinks kids need rules and boundaries.
