is there any need to? going anywhere?

upahill · 30/01/2011 15:14

Um depends I suppose Confused Grin

HystericalMe · 30/01/2011 15:15

I'm sure you can't sleep till 3.15 in the afternoon by accident! He must have taken a peek at the clock?

Honeybee79 · 30/01/2011 15:16

Did he come in late? Does he have a reason to be sleeping in - ie been ill, had a stressful time etc?

I would leave him. His issue if he wants to sleep the day away.

Butterbur · 30/01/2011 15:23

"I would leave him..."

That's a bit harsh, honeybee. Even by Mumsnet standards!Grin

TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 30/01/2011 15:26

does he need to get ujp
is he ill
was he up late

and surely he has woken and decided not get up and gone back to sleep

Honeybee79 · 30/01/2011 15:27

Lol Butterbur

My DH is asleep right now. He has to have a nap every afternoon. It drives me mental!

TrillianAstra · 30/01/2011 15:28

If you want him for something - wake him up

If he asked you to wake him up and he agreed - wake him up

therwise - let him sleep

ChippingInSmellyCheeseFreak · 30/01/2011 15:34

Unless you think he wont sleep tonight leave him.

Tortington · 30/01/2011 15:38

oh he wont sleep tonight and i am fully expecting "why didn't you get me up!"

am quite enjoying getting the whole use of broadband to myself as it happens Grin

I'd leave him.

When my DH has a nap and says "call me at 6/ 7/ whatever time" I give him a perfunctory shout up the starts declaring the time and the fact that he ahd asked me to wake him.

Several times he has slept through the call, so I have now told him to set the alarm on his phone if he's going to keep ignoring me.

I turned it all back on him.Smile

TimeForACHEEKYWineOrTheBottle · 30/01/2011 15:41

But why is he sleeping that late???? There must be a reason or is he just been lazy? if he didnt go to bed until say 4am or because he been out drinking - tough. Wake him.

If hes been on nights working then you ADBU

Tortington · 30/01/2011 15:44

nope he was sober, but he could have stayed up til wee hours - not unusual

ratspeaker · 30/01/2011 15:44

If he needed to get up HE could set an alarm

If you want him up to help look after kids while you get a nap/bath/rest wake him
or send the kids through

Tortington · 30/01/2011 15:46

oh no kids to look after ( they are 17...and out)

just shouted him - its nearly 4pm ffs, if he doesn't move now, hard shit

Honeybee79 · 30/01/2011 15:51

Not your promlemo custardo. Lazy!

Honeybee79 · 30/01/2011 15:52

Ahem. Problem Blush

MrsCuldesac · 30/01/2011 16:00

Oo-er! I'd creep in and check on him, TBH. Unless he habitually takes the "lie-in" option to ridiculous lengths, there might just be something amiss. My Pa left Ma to "sleep in" one Sunday and it turned out she'd had a stroke in the night - quite a young age - and by the time he got decisive it was too late. Sorry to sound so doomy - but it's worth checking. If he's just being a slob, creep up close with a Tesco plastic carrier bag and scrumble it vigorously, close to his ear. No one can stay asleep through that . . . heheheheh

Tortington · 30/01/2011 16:27

hes up - was up til 5am - the nobber

QueenofAllWildThings · 30/01/2011 16:33

I am a hard cow and think "If I'm up, then you can get up too, lazy bastard!"... so I would get him up. Although having the TV remote to myself would be tempting. Depends if there's anything you'd rather he would be doing :)

We have kids of 6, 3 & 18m so no way ANYBODY is sleeping in till even 10am, let alone 3pm! Maybe when they're teenagers I'll let him...
