Health, Family, Annoying and Awkward: Love-hate sibling relationship

Love-hate sibling relationship

By Anonymous - 24/11/2022 06:00

Today, my obese sibling snored loudly during a TV show. I swear, if it's not anime or a violent film he likes, he just goes to sleep. But then he's up all night, eating and playing video games while I'm trying to sleep. I can't keep working like an exhausted zombie all the time but I get in trouble when if I say anything. FML

Let me sleep

Today, after weeks of insomnia, I fell asleep. This would have been great if my brother didn't wake me up at 3 a.m., screaming because his guild finally took down a raid boss. I'm now grounded for thumping him, and have to do all his chores while sleep deprived. FML

Today, I let my little sister sleep in my room because she had a nightmare. She is currently snoring like an overweight 40 year-old man with a cold. FML

Spooky season special

Today, I was having a movie night with my significant other. I suggested a classic horror movie binge, and she agreed. However, as soon as the movie started, she fell asleep and started snoring louder than a chainsaw. It's hard to take scary movies seriously with the sounds of a chainsaw going on, I tell you. FML

The good son

Today, as I was taking care of my mom while my dad was at work, she fell asleep. This would be fine, except she has one of the worst cases of sleep apnea ever recorded. Her snores are so loud, they almost sound like gunshots. I can't leave her alone or block out the sound in case she stops breathing for too long. FML

Sleepless in Longfield

Today, after not being able to sleep for two hours because my boyfriend wouldn't stop talking, he fell asleep and I was left wide awake. I listened to him snore for another three hours and only got a couple of hours sleep. He's not working today, but I am. FML

Today, it's 2am. I've been trying to get to sleep for the past two hours next to my snoring boyfriend. Every time I nudge him to shut him up, his body tenses, he farts, then goes straight back to snoring. FML

We're all in hell

Today, it's the third day in a row my roommate has woken me up with blasting music, after keeping me up late listening to him screaming into his Xbox headset. His kids ate the last of my food. I can't even take a shit without one of them barging in. His whole fucking family is a walking condom commercial. FML

Today, I was watching a movie with my boyfriend and his parents, who I haven't known very long. I ended up falling asleep. That doesn't sound so bad, until I woke my drooling self up by snoring extremely loud. FML

In for the long haul

By Sick - 24/12/2022 11:00 - United States

Today, I'm trying to sleep off a cold as my roommate plays video games in his adjacent room. He doesn't rage or get excited often, and he can control it even more if he really needs to, but it's still enough to keep me painfully awake, along with my cold. Every minute feels like an eternity. FML

Do as I say, not as I do

Today, once again, my family had a loud conversation over the television show I was quietly watching. Ironically, the moment they watch something they like, even if it's a re-run episode, you have to be quiet or you'll be called a monster. Simply say "Hi" and they'll pause the TV to look at you like an annoyance. FML

Why do you say sibling instead of brother? It's weird.

Don’t expect your sibling to like the same things as you. People have different interests - Otherwise the world would be a boring place… But it’s reasonably not to be happy with loud snoring when you are trying to watch a favorite show. A considerate sibling would just go to bed instead of snoring in the TV room. I assume you’re tried waking him before when he snores and didn’t get any good results from that… Many newer TV’s have Bluetooth out capabilities which could let you listen with a Bluetooth headphone or earbuds. Many older TV’s have a headphone Jack that can be used with old fashioned headphones. And then again, you could move away from sleeping beauty and turn up the sound.

It might be her step brother.

Fatphobic to mention him being obese when it has nothing to do with the FML. Definitely work on that in yourself after you cut him out of your life for harming your own mental health. If you're a kid who's living with their parents, document it. If they don't do anything about it, tell somebody else. I say this assuming that you've already sat down with your brother and tried to speak with him about it.

Yes it does have something to do with it. As a previously fat person, sleep apnea and snoring go hand in hand. He either needs to lose weight, or find a medical device for it. My dad is 350lbs and can wake up the dead. When i dropped before 200 (lymes disease is still a bitch) my snoring stopped. Each time i lost weight in my life, below 200, i still having breathing issues. If you think the fat outside their chest is a lot, it’s almost the same amount under, competing with your organs for space. Stop trying to legitimize a horrible endemic affecting our society.
