Can I have 5 minutes?

This is a silly one really, but just need to vent.

Dsd lives with us and it's summer holidays. I've been lucky enough to have today off work. I'm pregnant and I've woken up all grumpy and dp and her kept playing loudly. He has to make stupid noises at her and tickle her etc so that she moans and screams and makes the most noise possible of course. And I just want quiet. So I went to the bedroom to lie down for a bit and dp follows about a minute later and lies on the bed too. Now he's being quiet so it's Ok but actually it's not because by this point I just want to be by myself. Dsd then of course comes along within 5 minutes asking to come in! Luckily dp told her to go and play something but why do they all have to follow me when I made it clear after dp had tried to get all in my face with his playing that it was too much and very noisy so I was going to lie down...

and breath!

I understand completely. My dp has been working all weekend so I have had the step kids. He now thinks he needs to make it up to me by following me around like a lost puppy.

It's driving me mad. I didn't get any peace all weekend, and I'm still not getting any now because of him.

I find it really hard to say "bugger off and leave me alone"!
