My DH thinks that he can wake me up when i am sleeping if it does not fit into his schedule and then complains that i am in a mood.

Background
i dont sleep well on the best of times, im on mulitple medications for numerous reasons, currently i'm waiting for an mri this week, and referrals to two other specialists before christmas.

I work 6 days a week between 7 and 6pm (flexi hours) in a phyically demanding job.

DH works shifts and has to be in bed by 9 so that he can get up in time for his early morning shift. he thinks i should go to bed at 9 like him. but if i do i wake up and then i'm awake all night tossing and turning.

sunday is my only day off and i like to lie in. BUT HE thinks that 10 is the time i should be up and wakes me up.... every fucking week!

so today i woke naturally before 10 and he was okay, but we had a huge lunch and i fell asleep afterwards. he 'allowed me' to sleep for half an hour before waking me up and bringing me home (we had been out for lunch then back to MIL)

Now i'm steaming mad at him, and he is saying I'M being unreasonable because it was time to go.

thing is... he is not the boss of me. i am a grown adult who should be able to sleep when i like

plus where his is respect for me?

sorry for the rant. but i need to know AIBU or do i need to get a bit of perspective?

all you can do about this other than LTB until the message sinks in Then OP would be a single parent and a 10am lie in would seem like a dream Grin

kelly or she would have more time to rest while her DS had contact time.

KellyElly · 25/11/2013 14:36

LittleBairn Ah yes, that illusive rest that single parents enjoy during contact time...except that many really don't. Especially those with long working hours like OP. Anyway, that's a whole other thread.

I don't mind if people fall asleep at my house. I always figure they must have needed it and I see it as quite a compliment that they feel so relaxed!
