To wake up DH at 10am even though he was up until 5am?

I heard him creeping up the stairs at 5am. He loves staying up late and it's a constant source of tension between us as I'm up with the baby by 6am-7am every day. He's on annual leave and I was looking forward to a family day!

I slept in baby's room, went to bed at 10pm and was up from 11pm-12:30 then again 4am-5am, up for day at 7am! So I clocked up quite a bit of sleep for once. This is after weeks of getting 4-5 hours a night (sleep regression!)

WIBU to wake DH up at 10am with a cooked breakfast and pretend I don't know what time he came to bed?

why isn't he helping out more? Why did he not help with the baby when he way up anyway?!

Why do you feel you owe HIM a cooked breakfast?! After him sleeping late and leaving you to it?!

YABU to wake him up with a cooked breakfast. Just throw a couple of slices of toast at him and be done with it.

In all seriousness YANBU. He is taking the mick. Me and DP both enjoy a lie in at the weekend but we alternate (unless we have plans which involve us all getting up) so we both get chance to rest. On the nights where its my 'turn' I may stay up later but I'd never stay up late then expect to be able to sleep the next day away without discussing it with my partner first - that's just rude and entitled.

He may be 'on holiday' from work but he's not on holiday from family life and he needs to do his bit whilst he's home.

I can sympathise with being an owl. I love being awake when everyone else is asleep, because it's the only me time I get all day.

5am, on the other hand, is ridiculous. That's not being a night owl, that's staying up all bloody night. Being on annual leave isn't an opportunity to do whatever the hell he likes and check out of family life. He needs to face the consequences of his choices, which is to be up and about and tired.

What?! Confused

He should be bringing you breakfast in bed after you have been up for a genuine reason all night!

I'd tip the breakfast on his bloody head if he woke up grumpy to that.

Does he get up when you ask him? Why is he spending his time off like this rather than spending family time?

I think I would tell my family to fuck off if they wanted me to spend family time with them between 12-5am!

Proper piss taker!

Princesspinkgirl · 25/05/2016 21:26

Seriously don't make him breakfast he's not being responsible I wouldn't be happy

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 25/05/2016 21:33

YANBU at all, and I say that as someone who does what your DH did last night Blush

My DH is a big softy and would rather leave me to sleep which he really shouldn't. He doesn't make me a breakfast or anything though. And I don't think you should either.
