Enjoy the last lie in or get up early in preparation for getting up early?

Back to work on Monday - me and DS have been having some lovely lie ins. DH is a morning person, we're definitely not!

DH thinks we should get up early tomorrow in preparation for getting up early on Monday. DS and I want to wallow in our pits for 1 more morning!

No control or force - just general chit chat about it. Who's right?

Make it the best lie in ever! I plan to too.

Enjoy one last lie in. Getting up early on Monday is going to be shit regardless and one earlier start isn't going to make it any easier so why make tomorrow shitter than it needs to be.

I would split the difference. Get up earlier than your usual lie ins but not as early as a work day.

You don't need to practise getting up early Confused I'm a morning person and always wake up early, but I wish I could lie in! I'd definitely be making the most of it if I were you.

I'm with your DH I'm afraid - to go from pit-wallowing to an early start is too hard, I'd have to ease into it.

Can you split the difference and get up halfway between lie-in time and usual wake up time?
