So I don't think IABU, but before my OH and I have the inevitable argument over it, thought I'd just run it past you guys!
We have my OH's DC most weekends, usually 3 on one off but often it's more (I don't have any DC's of my own). And I love my bed. Monday to Friday, my alarm and I are locked in battle and getting up is the hardest thing about my day hahaa. So on a Saturday, I like to lie in. We're not talking til 1pm or anything, but 10am is about the time I feel ready to face the world.
My OH thinks this is totally unacceptable and because the kids are there I should be up and about when he gets up (8am is a rare lie in for him, usually he's out of bed by 7.30). Apparently, my lie ins mean that they can't go out and do stuff and I hold them all up. For example, this morning, he's stropped off out to do the Tesco shop, even though I told him I'd do it, because I wasn't up by 10am and he thinks he therefore 'has to do everything himself'. I can't tell you the amount of times I've told him 'if you want to take the kids out and do something for the day, tell me the night before and of course I'll get up earlier' or 'you really don't need me to come to the park with you and the kids at 9am, if that's what you three want to do, be my guest!'
I'd also just like to say that I don't take ages to get ready either, I can be up at 10.30 and ready to leave the house at 11 if my OH decides he wants to go out on a whim!
AIBU to not think that getting up at 10am is a massive problem?
