Snoring roommate equals no sleep for us (NEW update scary stuff

[justgrace]

Oh my gosh! That sounds like a nightmare. It can be really tough sharing a room with friends/family outside of your household. Especially if the other person is especially difficult!! I hope everything works out for you and your daughter!

Let it Go ...

your friendship with her is fragile at best and it's definitely not getting any better right now.

Stand tall and show your daughter how to respond to unexpected circumstances.

By that I mean ... get your own room ... hopefully you will have done that already.

I would just get a separate room and still pay what you were going to for the other one just to get the heck out of there! We went to great wolf lodge with 2 other moms and daughters- one mom snored so loudly that me and the other mom ended up sleeping in the hotel lobby! It was horrible. When my daughter and I stayed at Yellowstone in these cabins, like a cabin broke into 2 so one common wall, the person on the other side snored so loud it kept us awake on our side! I remember one Disney cruise the person next door was a big snorer and one night I slept out on my balcony. I can sleep through police sirens, dogs barking and more but when it comes to snoring I just can not deal with that.

2 words........turbo fan!

I'd still pay the portion I had agreed on, but would most definitely get my own room, and not wait for her anymore for meals, etc. You and your daughter can let her know "we'll be eating here at this time if you want to join us", then just go. Try to enjoy the rest of your trip.

Did you get a new room?

 

[Sabeking]

If you are like me , getting your own room may SAVE the friendship. When I go days without sleep it can get ugly! My DH was awful till he got a CPAP. One vacation my DD slept in the bathtub with a pillow over her head. Sleep is priority in my world, even with the CPAP I wear the earplugs that are like Gooey circles and form to your ears. They work miracles. My advice, if earplugs don't work....MOVE !!!!!!!

I do hope OP got another room.

As I observe this person it seems she has turned into a bitter judgemental woman.
My daughter and I went to a booth yesterday to buy a shirt that were made to commemorate where we are.
I understand sometimes people order more sometimes less , orders can vary
Well they ran out but were taking orders. Yea it would be nice to have it now but we will in 2 weeks.
Friend walks up immediately says to the woman at the booth , well you should have ordered more. Have u never done this before? This is ridiculous. The booth woman remained calm telling friend , I ordered 300 of each color. Friend , well that obviously wasn't enough.
DD and I walked away at that point. I was so mad. And yes DD and I had a chat about it later.

I did get another room. I ended up texting friend because after the booth incident I didn't see her for hours and we wanted to leave and eat.
I told friend about the snoring and I thought my dog was stressed because of the new surroundings. And might do better just us in a room.
I didn't mention I don't think in the OP that friend has 2 intact male dogs who were constantly trying to be "too friendly" with my girl.
Friend told me when she asked me to room , if her guys were a problem she would crate them well she never did.

Friend accused me of lying , she doesn't snore, the dogs were fine. I'm doing it to get out of paying . I BETTER give her the money I owe her and my behavior is ridiculous.
We had plans last night that were supposed to happen much earlier in the evening when I agreed to them but due to scheduling conflicts were pushed back. DD and I told her we were leaving , it was getting late to eat.
DD is 12 , she doesn't want to eat at 10pm or basically sit around with nothing to do for hours.
She was mad we left. I was deserting her ( she had other people to go with) namely who she was with all day.
I didn't answer her after her text rant
I figure it's better to let it go at this point.
DD and I slept like babies and my pooch never whined once

I let another friend of mine at home and my mom read the text conversation. They both said the same thing that friend is unreasonable and not nice. My other friend called her another non Disney friendly word but I won't get into that.

 

[Mortlives]

If you give her the $100, you might wish to get a receipt. She doesn't sound trustworthy...

 

[Hikergirl]

I would not deal with her anymore. I would go to the front desk and explain that you had to switch rooms but would like to pay for a portion of the original room, and pay them directly.

 

[HM]

There are dogs in the rooms too?
That woman is no friend.
Glad you slept well and your DD got to eat a decent time.

ITA with all you did, well except showing her texts & drama around. Why? What does that accomplish other than to amp up the drama? To quote a Disney song "Let it Go" Just remember never to travel with her again.

They both have dogs in the room.

Yeah, I got that they both had them. But why was the fact that the friend didn't crate her dog in the earlier message about what the friend was doing wrong, but was the excuse OP gave for why they moved (along with snoring). It just threw me.

 

[hereyago]

OP, wow, she is special isn't she? I second paying your portion(actually after her behavior I wouldn't pay squat) aat the front desk or go get a whole bunch of pennies and pay her,lol.

Per a previous thread, the OP is at the Collie Nationals. They both have dogs in the room.

Dog showing has to be the most drama filled activity in the country, so I am not surprised at the OP's post. The egos in that sport top anything I have ever encountered. The movie Best In Show didn't stray too far from the truth.

Op, good that you got your own room. I certainly hope you live up to your part of the agreement and still pay your share of the room. Just because you did not like the conditions (and you admit you knew this person snored, you just forgot) does not absolve you of your agreement to pay for part of the room. Additionally, your dog was also making noise. You can't blame that on the other dogs, you have to shoulder some of the blame. And with you sharing your roommates posts with others, you are just as guilty of upping the drama level.

Update number 2:

I borrowed a crate of hers for the show. When DD and I were done packing up I texted friend and asked her what to do with the crate
She came over and I just carried it to her van. Half way there she started calling me every name you could think of.
Blaming the whole thing on me and my dog because I was lying about her snoring.
After the C word came out I said I was done
I put the crate by her van and walked away. She ran after me again yelling obscenities and then pulled my shirt twice.
Where's my money?
Where's my money?
You are a rich ...... U can afford it.
I told her I would pay half with the credit card at the hotel
She still kept yelling
Calling me rich over and over then threatened to tell my dogs breeder I abuse my pup.

I was actually scared. I told her to back off and she needed help. People don't act like this.
She just kept swearing and yelling and telling me I could afford it
For the record my DH works two jobs and vacations are very important to us. We work them into the budget.
We grew up and went to the same school. We had the same opportunities
She spends a lot on dog shows. I don't spend close to what she does.
So because we vacation twice a year I'm rich

I'm just beside myself. I was going to say something to my breeder but she's a no nonsense type of lady and I didn't think she'd want to be bothered. Plus DD is convinced she won't say anything. The breeder was doing something with my pup when I came back from the crate incident
Friend walked past stopped and said in front of breeder again where's my money
I again said I will pay at the hotel with a credit card
Then friend said fine I'm trusting u and walked away.

I'm crying, DD is crying. It's just a mess
I paid 1/2 the bill when we got back to the hotel.
DH is pissed because he told me not to go with her in the first place.

This friend knows a lot of people
I used to but quit when I had kids and just got back into it

This was supposed to be fun for DD and I now it's a crazy mess

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

I'm so sorry that your experience turned out to be so bad because of her, but glad you did get a room so you can have some peace. You did the right thing, even with all the fallout. Good luck with any future dealings with her.

She sounds very manipulative. The best thing to do with manipulative people is to shut down all contact, especially if she got physical with grabbing your shirt. If she makes a scene again, you need to call the police.

You just can't deal with manipulative people. They will twist your words and try and make themselves out to be the victim. I'm sorry that you and your DD are in this situation.
