to think that DH should attempt to keep the DCs quiet when it's my turn to have a lie in?

[SaveTheMockingBird]

This seems to happen everytime I have a lie in. Kids 3 and 5 screeching and screaming whilst playing downstairs. I haven't slept past 7 and can't get back to sleep. I grumpily went downstairs and suggested kids played with Lego or something and came back upstairs with a cup of tea.
When it's DHs turn to lie in I read to the kids, get them to do writing, drawing, puzzles etc that doesn't involve noise and Dh sleeps in till about 9.30.
Aibu to expect dh to do the same for me?

Yadnbu I hate this. Either let them go mental on his turn, or get him to sort it out.

And buy earplugs ( my favourite investment ever)

Same in our house, but my dh isn't as tolerant of toddler behaviour as I am and is too quick to shout. It's not relaxing hearing your DH bellowing, and pointless too as it just makes her upset and I end up getting up.

Let him see what it is like, so why dont you let the kids go crazy when it is his lie in. If he moans, just tell him that this is what your lie ins are like so he either suck it up, or start engaging with his children in quiet manners so that you both get lie ins.

I use earplugs on my lie in too as Dp and Ds together are incredibly noisy. Its lovely. Its my turn to get up today but Ds is still asleep so Dp is muttering about me spoiling his lie in, hahaha.

Before next time have a clear specific conversation about this... I would like it if....I feel very let down/grumpy when..... (Oh and get ear plugs)

I have told him before about keeping them quiet. He says I'm being too sensitive

This happens here too. I make sure bedroom door is closed and we stay I the lounge in the door closed. When it's my lie in the kids are running up and down the stairs or playing in their bedrooms. They also come up to me every half hour. I've started doing the same now and letting the kids make as much noise as they want.

YANBU. If you manage to keen them quietly occupied for him to sleep in, then he should be able to do the same for you.

Penny whistle for one and cymbals for the other and a lovely little concert outside the bedroom door next time it is his turn for a lie in.

What QS said.

I'd be teaching them the trumpet and the violin outside the bedroom door on dh's lie ins, personally. Then you'd see 'too sensitive'.

He is being a prat.

If he thinks you're being too sensitive, then stop doing quiet things with them on his lie in. He clearly doesn't care until if affects him.

And invest in some ear plugs

Stick a DVD on & both have a lie in
I can never sleep past 7.30 these days
My days of lie ins are over

YaNbu if he thinks you're being too sensitive then stop trying to keep them quiet when it's his lie in.

YANBU I was just thinking that myself.
I take the DC down when I hear them wake up, DH let's them come in our room and maraud around until I am awake then makes a big show of taking them down.
He also brings me a cup of tea when he thinks it is time I was getting up.

I second what everyone else says about stopping making the effort for him. It clearly doesn't bother him and he would be over sensitive if it did.

I think you should let them free rein next weekend and not read to them first thing. Let him have a taste if how noisy it is

I haven't had a lie in ages. I rarely get back to sleep in the mornings. I occasionally nap though. dh can sleep easily so he always gets a good lie in and I get very resentful jealous.

I am gonna invest in earplugs! Why did I not think?

We are the opposite away around as oh is a very light sleeper and tends to
Take ds to his mum's during my lie in.
We've agreed he has earplugs, and bedroom door shut I keep ds in the living room (bathroom door shut if doing nappies) and give him quite toys to play with.
OH does wake up but can understand I'm doing what I can to keep the noise down.

Could you come to an arrangement without being silly ans letting their morning noise escalate to the point that no-one gets a lie inq

I keep them downstairs/out of our bedroom but don't go out of my way to keep them quiet tbh.

Notso that is exactly what my DH does to the letter! Do they confer on this shit or something??? Drives me absolutely crazy

Ear plugs. Get the yellow and pink ones - I think they're called Laser Lites. You can get them on Ebay and you'd sleep through a nuclear apocolypse!

Earplugs. Shut your door.

And don't worry about keeping them quiet on his day.

If you go on about noise it will just sound like you are being a nag. The key is to relax and not worry about what the noise signifies. It has taken me a long time to get used to lying in through noise!

I think they must Allthelittlefoxes

He has just come in and told me to get up it's nearly 11 and I'm taking the piss. Three of my four DC have been in here with me for the past hour and a half while he's been watching the football, he's had more peace than me!

I agree that you should definitely not keep them quiet when it's his turn for a lie in

I can't believe some people are so inconsiderate, it's such a small thing but a lie in can make all the difference. If my DH let the children come in and wake me before he took them down I would do the same to him on his days to lie in, let them jump about on him and see how he likes it

It doesn't solve the selfishness issue but now that the weather is wamer I've got a fan that's quite powerful and noisy and it's bliss to snuggle up and only hear white noise, maybe something like that would help? Or even a white noise app?

Notso I hope you told him to fuck off and that he won't be getting a lie in anytime soon
