Lying in and naps

[cheekypickle]

DH gets up first thing with DD every morning for 2 hours.

Then at the weekend he gets to have a good 4-5 hour afternoon sleep on Saturday and Sunday.

Sounds like a fair deal?

How early is 'first thing'?

If you're both happy with it, it sounds fair. :)

as long as you are happy!
Also depends if you are a morning person (im not). That would mean alot to me

6-7am ish

I always get up in the night for her as DH doesn't have the patience!

I'm not a morning person !

If you are all happy, it's fine.

Not enough information to judge really. In general, I agree with MrsMango, if you both are happy with the arrangement then that's what matters most.

Personally, I would rather share the mornings all week through.

What are the working/childcare/etc arrangements in your family?

I am not you what you are asking?

Mmmm. But he is sleeping through half the weekend. Do you get to spend time as a family?

I think it depends on how precious he is about his nap. Would he still do it if you had to be somewhere for example?

For you to ask it doesn't sound like you're happy with the situation. Could you swap some weeks?

He sleeps for 4 or 5 hours EVERY Saturday and Sunday ? When do you go out and do stuff as a family ?
And bollocks to him not having the 'patience' to do night wakenings. You are as entitled to a full nights sleep as he is. How often do you have to get up in the night?

DD goes to childminder 9-5 Monday to Friday

So your DP gets an uninterrupted night of sleep EVERY NIGHT because he doesn't have the patience to get up, then he gets up at the perfectly reasonable hour of 6-7 every morning but also expects ten hours of napping during the weekend?

No, I don't think that's fair. Not at all.

Does he lie on the settee and nap or are we talking proper back to bed curtains shut etc?

Properly going to bed sleep

Oh wow. This all sounds very unfair. Have you ever spoken to him about it?

Hang on, don't you work as well OP, as a teacher? So presumably you must get up yourself around the 7am mark as well? I'm assuming you don't lie in bed until 11am every day.

I'm not a morning person so I appreciate he gets up with DD

Does get a bit lonely and boring sat and sun afternoons though!

Yes I wake up at 7:30 weekdays

9am on weekends

6-7am isn't that early IMO.

And how frequently does DD wake during the night? I would say it sounds as though you are generally losing more sleep hours than he is. But if you're happy with it, and he doesn't mind losing every weekend with his family then [shrug] I suppose it's okay.

I think na piping for 4-5 hours after getting up at 6 is a problem. Is he ill? why does he need that much sleep?

Napping

Sounds like you get a much better deal

No he's not ill. Just always done it.
