Mum sleeping in my room

I’m a 15 yr old girl, and my mum comes to sleep in me or my brother (17) room literally every other day. It’s because my dad snores really loud, and she can’t sleep properly. Me and my brother always argue about it, and then she gets upset about it, saying we are selfish and ungrateful. We both want personal space, but every time we voice it she gets mad, saying she paid for all our stuff, buys us things etc and this is how we repay her. My mum really is generous and does loads of work for us, and it makes me feel so guilty. I am I wrong? She sleeps on the couch and I know she dosen’t sleep well, and I feel so bad. As well as this, the next day she is always in a mood, waking us up early and glaring at us. What do I do?

Suggest she takes your Dad to the doctors to see if there
anything they can do for his snoring, but if there isn’t you’ll just have to accept the situation. She does need sleep, and as you say she does a lot for you. She seems to alternate between you and your brother so that no one has to put up with this all the time. I don’t see what more she can do.

Snoring usually has an easy fix, you can try anti snoring devices but the best way is to visit the doctors. You can't blame your mother because she has no other choice and she has to wake up the next morning and organise the whole household. If you let her sleep without feeling guilty she will wake up in a much better mood the next morning :smile:

Why don’t you want her to sleep in your room maybe she has a point couldn’t you get an air bed or another bed for another room. Why doesn’t your dad sleep downstairs

gyal ik this was a while ago, but as a 15 yr old girl myself, i fckin love my personal space. if its really that bad, try to get your dad to sleep on his side, im oretty sure that helps. if this is still going on, just try it. gd luck x

This really is a tough situation for you guys. While my family never got to these kinds of issues, my dad used to snore a lot, too, and it affected everyone's sleep at home. But he eventually went for snoring treatment in Singapore, and it really helped him. Maybe you could suggest your dad could look into a similar treatment? It could improve the situation at home and help everyone get better sleep. It's important to have personal space, and it's just as important to find a solution that works for the whole family. I hope things get better for you soon!
