Today, I got to sleep in late for the first time in 3 years, as wife took our two young daughters out of town to visit with her parents. I told my mother that I was really looking forward to being able to sleep in this morning. The phone rang at 7:30. It was my mother asking me how I slept. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5 a.m., my mom loudly knocked and came in. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML
Today, and for the first time in months, I woke up feeling well rested and ready to face the day. At 7pm. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke me at 5am, just to say how great it was that I could still sleep two more hours before leaving for work. FML
Today, my wife finally let our kids stay the night at my mom's house, meaning we had our first night totally alone together in 6 years. She spent all night texting my mom for updates on the kids or on the phone to her sister, so I watched a film by myself then went to bed bored at 8:15 p.m. FML
Today, my husband was going to let me sleep in for Mother's Day. That would have been great, if my brother didn't call me at 5:30 in the morning to say Happy Mother's Day. Now I'm up like any other day. FML
Today, I had three days off work. My mom woke me up for work on all three of those days, despite my repeatedly asking her not to. When I actually had to go to work this morning, she didn't wake me up. At least I wasn't late. FML
Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML
Today, I didn't get to sleep until 5 a.m., as I stayed up to finish off a big project that I have been working on for the past week. I was then woken up at 6 a.m. by my daughter saying she was ready for school. School starts at 9 a.m., and is a 2-minute drive away. I'm now at work, living off an hour of sleep and coffee. FML
Today, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML
Today, I had my first day off in weeks. I was excited about getting to sleep in, until my boss called me at 6:30 in the morning to remind me I didn't have to come into work. Thanks. FML

As a lover of sleep, you have my sympathy. This is quite possibly the saddest FML I've read in a while. No sleeping in for 3 whole years?!? I. Would probably. DIE.

While turning all the phones off sounds like a good idea, there could've been an emergency and he'd have no way of knowing, so... No. As for going back to sleep, well... Not everybody can do that easily or at all. So it sucks for you, OP, but FYL? Wee bit of an overreaction...

The bedroom phone should have been shut off. If there was an emergency, someone repeatedly calling would have woken you up from another phone probably, but odds are, one call would not have done the trick, and you would have been able to actually sleep in.

My fiancé has trouble waking up at night even if his cell phone is turned on and on loud. I had an emergency once and called him in the middle of the night. It took me a good 10 minutes and about 20 phone calls plus about five million texts to get him to wake up. A phone ringing in a different room NEVER EVER woken him up.

#53 has got it down right. Also, you should do what some of the others here have suggested & call her early as shit- Ask her how sleeping in is. Or just walk into her room one day & throw water balloons at her.... Thats how angry I feel when people wake me up knowing I'm trying to sleep in.
