To think my dh is a total prick?

[Starlightgazer]

I am so pissed off that I want to cry this morning. It's mother's day and although I am not a great believer in presents and being treated like a goddess, I would have really appreciated a bit of a lie in this morning, instead of having to get up at 5.50am to look after our dd.
I am so sick of hearing my dh tell me that it's not normal for our dd to get up so early (she's 2 and a half) and thinks that we should leave her to cry in the hope she will go back to sleep (she absolutely will not go back to sleep at this time). Every morning, he says the same thing about it being too early too get up and I am now so fed up of having the same conversation about 'life isn't the same as when we didn't have children...'
I am 38+5 pregnant and think that just for today, I would have loved my dh to just get up with no moaning and take dd downstairs so that I can face the day without feeling exhausted and pissed off.
AIBU?

Tell DH unless DD is a genius she hasn't learnt to tell the time yet she is waking because he internal body clock is waking her up.

We are all up before the birds are singing in this house, husband will often start work at 4.30 in Spring/Summer and the rest of us about 5.30 to 6.00 except for DD3 who genuinely can't rise up until about 7.00. I used to try and make her but it was tears and upsets every day. She still does her share but is allowed to do more of her chores after school then before.

As for ignoring Mothers Day put his head in a bucket and kick it down the yard the rotter

Roll on the teenage years!

We definitely have to plan lie-ins first otherwise the children swarm all over me and wake me up while DH is dozing and I can't be bothered to try to go back to sleep.

Also, I sometimes think that DH isn't always aware of what is age appropriate for our children. As we have more (we have 3) he seems to be more aware that what they are doing is normal but especially with DS1 I find his expectations are sometimes just too high. I think this may be because he doesn't spend much time with any other children their ages and has some halycon ideal of what a child should do. Early rising and sleep disruption is normal at this age (DD is 2 and a half and she's up twice a night every night). In fact, in my (limited admittedly) experience the two year old who is sleeping well under normal circumstances let alone after an operation is a rarity.

im not a regular man basher but do think your husband is being out of order here

i must be so lucky as mine would move heaven and earth to make sure i was happy and healthy, especially when preggers
