Would it bother you if your partner got up later than you?

Partner 1 has a full time professional job and gets up at 6.30am every weekday.

Partner 2 was a SAHM to 3 dc and now works part time (2 days/week).

P2 loves sleep and sometimes doesn’t get up till 10am on non working days. P2 does all the cooking, laundry and house admin.

If you were P1, would P2’s late getting up bother you?

So long as Partner 2 gets up in good time to dress kids, feed kids and take them to school, I can't see the problem.

Who is dealing with the kids when partner 2 is lounging? Do they want to or do they want to go to the gym/share the load?

It would bother me if partner 2 was the only one who had a lie in.

How does this affect partner 1 at all since they are presumably at work and unaware of partner 2s waking time?

I'm partner 2 in this scenario, adults pick their own alarm times if they've no other reason to be up.
