Today, after two hours, I finally got my very cranky, sick baby to fall asleep. Five minutes later, a neighbor started shooting off fireworks. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it took me 2 hours to get my toddler to sleep. Just after I got him down, my mom woke him up by banging my pots and pans around in the sink. FML
Today, I felt so unwell that I didn't fall asleep until 4 AM. The baby woke up at 5, ready to start the day. FML
Today, after hours of trying to put a screaming baby to sleep, she finally fell asleep in my arms. I was so happy. Then, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, like every year, my next-door neighbors started setting off their fireworks at exactly midnight. Also, like every year, the sensitive car alarm belonging to another neighbor has gone off with every firework. It's been almost six hours of nonstop alarms and explosions. FML
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML
Today, I finally got my fussy newborn back to sleep after the creaking of my chair woke her. I then crept two rooms over and opened a pack of chips, the crinkle of which woke her again. FML
Today, I was trying to get a good night's sleep before the huge exam tomorrow, which I'm extremely anxious about. The SAME night my neighbor below me is having a home birth. It lasted NINE HOURS. FML
Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML
Today, I was finally going to fall asleep at a decent hour. Having insomnia, I generally get about 2 hours of sleep. Right as I'm about to fall asleep, 5 firetrucks decide to drive right in front of my house with the sirens/lights on. FML
Today, I was trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor's baby began to cry. I closed the window and rolled over, unable to hear the crying anymore. My dog's hearing is better than mine, and so he started barking. Goodbye, good night's sleep. FML

fyl and all, but it is 4th of July weekend n fireworks are just part of it. you should probably look for some type of ear plug or something to drown out the noise for the baby.

#199: That has to be the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. Sure, give ear plugs to a baby, because there aren't any inherent dangers of a baby playing with bite-size pieces of foam.

OMG!!! the same thing happened to me!! My lil guy has had a virus for 5 days and has been so cranky and we both haven't been sleeping well. Just as we fell asleep on Sat. night my neighbors decided to set off fireworks at 10:30pm!! I was sooo pissed!!

Jeez, when will people realize that the world does not revolve around your child's sleeping patterns? I'm sure you've done something that woke up someone else's kid before.

Just wondering ...do u have children? I never said that the world should revolve around my child's sleeping pattern!!! Just stating that I was mad because after 5 days of my baby not eating and not sleeping well, it just figures that someone would light fireworks right outside my house!!! U should understand that if you have children!!!
