I need to get out of bed but I can't

[meepmoop]

Looking for some motivation to get up.

DS woke up crying so DH has got up to find he's peed/pooped through his nappy in the night. He's cleaned him up took him downstairs and had breakfast.

I can now hear them hysterically laughing and really need to get up so I can sneak out to the car to get his Father's Day stuff I didn't sort yesterday.

Kind of feel like it's Mother's Day not the other way around.

I should add he usually gets up with him on a Sunday but it's the only day he could have a lie in as he works mon - sat so I was planning on doing it today.

You feel like it's Mother's Day because you're "still" in bed at 8.15? I don't really understand your post.

Relax. There are 364 Fathers' Days IMO.

Why do you need motivation to get up? Are you struggling generally or are you just having a lazy morning?

Father's Day isn't about long lies on our house, it's about spending time together.

So, go get his gifts and enjoy the rest of the day. He sounds like a lovely dad getting up and dealing with his DC the way he should, most threads on here are about arsehole dads who never do a thing for their kids.

I’m still in bed too, I told my son he can’t come in until 9am on his groclock as that’s an actual law on fathers day.

I get what you're saying - why don't you shout down for them both to come back up to bed for a cuddle and chat, then slip down make him breakfast/coffee and bring pressies back up - don't worry if they're not wrapped.

I'm up, I was just feeling lazy but wanted to get up to spend the morning together and not lounge in bed until 10. Were off to lunch with his dad later so Morning is our time together.
