Husband waking me up just because he's awake

[GiGiraffe]

Background: both work full time, 2 kids, both quite stressed at work at the moment and have to get up every day at 6am

I've not been sleeping well for while and it's rare we have a weekend when there is not something on/kids have woken up before 7am/DH is going out to his hobby etc.

Today DH woke up early and started talking to me, asking me the time etc and basically told him to leave me alone I am still sleeping (it was 6.30ish) I miraculously fell back asleep but then at 7am he did it again and woke me up properly and I flipped out and told it was really unfair to wake me when we don't have any plans, the kids are still asleep and there is no reason to get up. He got up and had a shower, so I was fully awake and fuming. Tried to talk to him when he was getting dressed explaining that I am very tired, I had a late night Friday and was still up at 6am yesterday with the kids and I just wanted to sleep - DH is now not talking to me.

I think he is being really unreasonable - he clearly thinks I am

Do it to him 4am and 4.30 am for a nice chat should do it , seriously though the words fuck and off in a very pissed off tone along with dont ever wake me up unless the house is on fire if you value your privates , should work

I woke DH up this morning though in fairness he has just had a vasectomy and if he'd stayed in bed much longer he would have had a very rude awakening via a small DC jumping on him quick buggers are hard to catch and divert

If I'd done that for a chat or vice versa I think the words fuck off would be used completely reasonably.

Abuse that cheered me up

My DH came in at 3.20am this morning and woke us all up, dog barking included.

I turned into Hurricane Matthew this morning at 6am

Wanders black in from the garden, dusts the dirt from patio digging from my hands, pops the kettle on and turns to back to mumsnet, whilst the dog sniffs around the newly dug ground.... all is well

The shovel, patio, comment has it

Mine did this - once

He has never done it again, I lost it big time with him, he sulked like a big baby too, but he got the message. I was so f" ing angry with him, I shocked him apparently

Good, he deserved it

Oh I'd have flipped out on him the FIRST time.
When DH and I were first living together before kids and marriage etc., he used to get up at 5:30/6 every day just because he's a lark. He learnt pretty damn quickly to leave his clothes and everything else in the spare room, because he had the infernal habit of putting the overhead light on to find his shit, which would have me wake up screaming (I have vampiric tendencies when it comes to morning and light!).

He still gets up at stupid o'clock, but I sleep in with the little one still, so it annoys me far less.

What a bellend.
I agree that under the patio is the only option.

I'm happily scrolling through mumsnet, while I wait for my OH to wake up - I wouldn't dream of waking him up unnecessarily! When he woke me up unnecessarily once - pretty much to entertain him while he got ready-i turned into a banshee and he felt the full force of my wrath! Never again!
