So the dishwasher upstairs is broken and they're doing all their dishes by hand. They let them dry overnight and FIL puts them away....at 5:30 in the morning. This has been waking DS up now for over a week and it also disturbs my sleep because he's cranky and crying and it takes him a half hour to an hour to fall back asleep comfortably. Plus, lately they've taken to talking loudly before they leave in the morning over who knows what. I can't do anything about that, but the dishes thing is driving me nuts because of it disturbing sleep. (I know they'd say I should put DS to bed earlier, but that would not happen since he's just not wired to go to bed at 7.) I was thinking of offering to put their nightly dishes away when DS and I wake up so we get our normal nights sleep. But, how should I think of suggesting this?
Re: Need some advice
i would just offer to put the dishes away for them...if they say no then go into the explanation that its disturbing his sleep...or, before you go to bed maybe put them away without even discussing it?
