Isn’t it annoying when you’re on vacation but your schedule simply doesn’t align with other people?

Imagine being on a family vacation and wanting to go to sleep at a normal time, but everyone else wants to stay up really late. Would you be upset if the night owls were so loud that you couldn’t sleep, or would you get some earplugs and try to ignore them?

This woman shares that she wanted to go to sleep early on her vacation, but her husband’s family was so loud that she couldn’t fall asleep. Now, she’s wondering who was in the wrong here.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for Wanting Husband’s Family to Quiet Down on Vacation?

Ok, this is a long story with a lot of history but I will try to summarize the best I can.

My MIL has insisted the last couple of years that we all take a family vacation together in a house that can’t really fit everyone (people sleeping on floors, etc).

Things get tricky from here…

We are all older and established with families and small kids.

His family is notoriously a loud bunch of people who stay up late.

Last year when we went, there was a night that everyone was being loud and I was trying to sleep with the kids, and when my husband went back down to hang out with them, I asked if he could tell them to please keep it down a little.

She knew things would be the same!

Never mentioned it again the rest of the trip.

This year, the first night there, same situation where me and kids were trying to sleep around 11PM, and they were playing a loud game.

Made a comment to my husband that I wished they would keep it down, which turned into a knock down drag out with his family about how I always try to manipulate the house and tell them what to do on vacation.

That’s INSANE!

They say it’s their vacation and they should be able to stay up as late as they want, and if I don’t like it then I am the outlier who needs to find a way to deal with it…

They also say I am TA for asking my husband to say something about it.

AITA for wanting to go to bed with the kids at a somewhat reasonable time on a family vacation?

She just wants to know if she’s wrong…

And is my husband the A for respectfully saying something to them?

And is it wrong to ask your spouse to be the one to talk to their own family in these type situations?

This ended with bridges burned, and I am struggling to make sense of this being the catalyst of the situation.

GEEZ! That sounds so exhausting to deal with!

Why won’t they understand that they’re being noisy?
