Климов Максим - stock.adobe.com When coordinating sleep schedules with young children, parents try every maneuver in the book. But one redditor in r/Mommit realized that separating the kids might just introduce a brand-new problem. When her partner took the toddler's room, she expected them both to finally get some rest. Instead, the night ended with a very harsh review from her 3-year-old, as shared in this thread: My partner slept in our 3yo sons room so I could deal with our teething 1yo in our room in an attempt to ensure he and 3yo could get sleep. This morning 3yo was a wreck so I asked what was up and he said “I didn’t get any sleep!” I asked why not, and he said “Daddy was ROARING at me!” After I recovered from laughing I felt so seen. Been telling that man he snores for years and he’s never taken it seriously. When partner got home my 3yo very seriously chastised him: “Daddy you were not very nice last night, you were roaring at me and I asked you to stop but you didn’t. I don’t think you should sleep over any more.” 😂 In the comments, redditors share their own stories of snoring spouses and kids who tell it exactly like it is. Putting away the pitchforks After reading the post's title — "partner kept 3yo awake all night" — many redditors assumed the worst, only to breathe a massive sigh of relief when the real culprit of the sleepless night was revealed. Comment in r/Mommit I was about to grab torches and pitchforks thinking he did something to keep a 3yo up on purpose...but this made me laugh so hard. Thanks 🤣🤣 Comment in r/Mommit LOLLLLLL. At first I was like why would a grown man roar at a child and keep him awake all night 😂 Comment in r/Mommit Girl I was ready to be enraged for you... LMAO. Comment in r/Mommit Same! I thought he was just being rude. Lol Lawn mowers and dinosaurs The toddler’s polite but firm boundary-setting struck a chord in the thread. Other redditors chimed in with the creative, amusing, and slightly dramatic ways their own children describe the nightly noise. Comment in r/Mommit Hahaha I love this! Kids are so honest! My son refers to my husband’s snoring episodes as “daddy was being a lawn mower again” Comment in r/Mommit My mom and my 5yo son like to roar at each other like dinosaurs. The first time she spent the night, he came into my room in the middle of the night saying the exact same thing! "Grandma keeps roaring at me and I asked her to stop and she won't!" 😂 I went in and nudged her and she rolled over. Dinosaur problem solved. Comment in r/Mommit We had a similar situation here 😂 In the middle of one particularly loud night I escaped to my two year old’s empty bed, 30 minutes later she joined me saying “daddy loud like plane” Comment in r/Mommit When I was a kid, around 6 or 7 I think, my bedroom got painted and at bedtime it still stunk so I spent the night in my brother's room on his extra bed (I'm the only girl so I'd always had my own room). My brother started growling at me and I got mad at him for trying to scare me and not stopping when I told him to. I finally went and got mom. "he's growling at me and wont stop!!" Whe followed me to the bedroom where we stared at my sound asleep brother. "Twig...he's snoring." "Oh." Comment in r/Mommit A friend of mine has a child who snores and one night she came into her mom's room absolutely terrified saying there's a bear in her room. My friend hugged her child and said "sweetie, YOU'RE the bear!" Comment in r/Mommit My husband has a CPAP machine for this very reason. The kids call it his “elephant nose” lol! Evicted from the bedroom It turns out that a toddler's patience for snoring is just as thin as an adult's. Commenters traded stories about the lengths families will go to in order to escape the racket, which occasionally includes kicking the offending sleeper right out of the room or swatting at them. Comment in r/Mommit My mom, 2.5 year old and I shared a king sized bed on vacation and the first night my mom is just snoring like a monster! My daughter had gone to sleep hours before us, but the poor thing was woken up around midnight. I tried to kick my mom and shush her, but LO had already woken up, and sobbing she pointed to the doors to the living room and said "Grandma needs to go there". Grandma wasn't allowed to sleep with us the next night. Comment in r/Mommit My husband's snoring has caused me to grab a blanket and go sleep on the couch. I can still hear him out in the livingroom. Comment in r/Mommit i love it! my husband and i both snore, and we actually sleep in separate rooms because of it. we have to fall asleep at the same time otherwise we will keep each other up all night lol. i coslept with both my sons and i think they find snoring soothing now lol because they can sleep through anything Comment in r/Mommit When my oldest was a baby, I had him sleeping in a bassinet next to my bed. One night I made a video of both him and his daddy snoring. My husband was not amused. Comment in r/Mommit I snore. Sometimes one of my kids will ask for cuddles at bedtime, sometimes I doze off. They've yelled at me since then to not fall asleep during cuddles, cuz I snore too loud. Comment in r/Mommit My husband roars too lol. He has sleep apnea so thank God he eventually got a machine. I can really tell it works for him when he forgets to use it. Because holy crap he wakes me up and scares me every time. Lol I gotta swat at him and tell him to get it on. An unexpected room swap might not have provided the quiet night this family hoped for, but it certainly delivered a memorable morning. From roaring dads to grandmas getting banished to the living room, sharing a sleep space with a noisy sleeper is a universal struggle that kids handle with hilarious honesty. What would you do?
