About my husband this morning?

For the first time in a long while, I had a morning where I could have a sleep in. Hubby was going off to play golf with his friends and my daughter was at a friend's.

Hubby got up at 6:30 to shower and get ready. (It's a couple of hours drive to the golf course they wanted to use and they were going for breakfast first.) He then stomped about the bedroom, yanked the (blackout) curtains open and generally made as much noise as he could. When I pointed out that he was being an arse, he said 'you're normally up by now anyway!' He'd disturbed me so much that even after he left the room I was wide awake and couldn't nod off again.

AIBU to be annoyed with him? The whole point of having a nice snooze was because I do generally get up early every day!

I know this is going to sound snippy postchildrenpregranny but I have to ask - why do you believe that your DH simply cannot learn not to bounce into bed?
I'm genuinely not getting my head around a grown up who cannot avoid doing something. Do you think if every time he bounced into bed he somehow smacked his bollocks on something he would still do it? Or if he developed a really bad back and it hurt to bounce he would still have to suffer the pain because he just has to bounce.
Is he tigger?

FFS they're not a different species. Gender is a social construct.

Therefore, you should continue to not notify them you will be wanting a lie-in in advance and being cross when they don't get it right. Stands to reason.

Also, father's day?! WTF you are not his daughter - I expect that on mother's day you expect him to have a lie in and leave the kids to sort themselves out because fuck it he isn't your DS, so it's only reasonable for you to do the same.

YANBU Flowers poor you

pagwatch tbf it doesn't happen that often and I think it's just habit .I cant be bothered to make a big thing of it and save my energy for a swift nudge when he snores-also thankfully not that much

and he is very tolerant of my foibles....

Grin fair enough.

LTB!

My DP learned the hard way that if he's getting up early he needs to sneak out like a ninja. He gets his clothes sorted the night before and tries to be really quiet. I invariably still wake up as I'm a really light sleeper, but if I'm still in sleepy mode I have a fighting chance of going back to sleep. If I stir too much then there's no hope and he suffers the consequences all day.

Tired Magic is not good news.

If you have a lie-in booked and your husband needs to get up then you need to sleep elsewhere to preserve the lie-in.

You need to sleep elsewhere. Well don't that beat all? Hmm Grin

OP of course yanbu - does your dh often treat you with disregard or would you say this was a cack-handed one off?
