To wake DH up at 8am every morning?

[lilypadpod]

He has a month off before starting his new job. We're packing up the house ready for moving so there is loads to do.

I go to bed at 8-9pm as I'm up at 10pm, 1am, 4am feeding baby then up for day with baby by 5:30am every day. I'm used to broken nights. DH will help re-settle between feeds if needed and helps a lot during the day, but also has option of guestroom/earplugs.

Recently I've started waking DH up at 8am every day and handing over baby so I can get on with stuff (baby is clingy and grizzles after 5mins if left alone).

DH thinks it's U to be woken at 8 as he is 'on holiday'
I'm fed-up as by 8am I've already been up several hours (baby is fed, washed, dressed and napped when I hand him over so all DH has to do is play with him). I am not a 'morning person' as he insists I just don't have a choice about the early starts. To me, 8am is a lie-in, a luxury I don't have!

I've suggested he goes to bed earlier, eg by midnight if he wants a full 8hours but he likes being up at night so often stays up until 2-3am

AIBU to keep waking him up at 8am?

How about you effectively take it in turns so he has a lie in every other day?

YADNBU, I would love it if I could sleep in until 8am every morning, when you have young DC that is most definitely a lie in. My dp can have a bit of an 'I'm on holiday' attitude when he has time off work sometimes, drives me nuts because whilst I understand that he works very hard to provide for us I don't think that gives him the right to spend the whole of his time off sitting on his arse doing feck all 'relaxing'. Especially when he has a job with shifts that gives him ample opportunity to relax in between. And besides, when do I get the chance to 'relax'?

He is very good most of the time however and we usually alternate lie ins over the weekend. Unless we have plans we let each other sleep in until we naturally wake up provided we don't take the pee and sleep the whole day away, I'm usually up by 10am and he's the same.

I would carry on with waking him at 8am op, when you have DC you have no choice but to adjust your lifestyle to suit, even when you are 'on holiday' from paid work.
