Who should get the lie in tomorrow-me or DH?

[grumpyfish52]

So DH and I operate a one lie-in each system at the weekend. We have 2 DC (3yo and 7m, both sleep through and wake around 6)

I'm on mat leave, he has a busy and stressful job, last week was mega crunch time and he was working silly hours. Next week is much calmer.

It was DD's birthday on Saturday so we both got up early. This morning was his turn for a lie in but he decided he didn't need it so suggested we all go out for an early breakfast, which was lovely.

So AIBU to still take my lie in tomorrow or should I let him have it as he worked himself to the bone last week?!

Threads like this make me so grateful I am single.

Although I never get a lie in. Small price to pay!

I would let him have it just to be nice I think. It's yours but as the kids both sleep through neither of you really need it, but he probably needs it more than you.

Suggesting you all go out was a nice thing to do so I guess the lie in also shows you appreciate that. As long as you get a lie in next time regardless of what he does with his.

I get all the lie ins. Dh doesn't do sleeping in. He's been up since sparrow's fart and I'm still in bed.

Hoping that this should have had "light hearted" added.

Let him have it. You Haagen a siesta later.

I've been awake since 6, but I'm not getting out of bed until 9 because it's my day to sleep in. It's his fault he didn't take his lay in!

Yours is monday so you still get it! He chose to opt out of his.

We take it in turns too. I got Sat, dh got Sunday and as the thing we want to do with the kids today doesnt open til 1pm Ive got up and he will be taking over at 10am for me to have 2 hours to myself which I will be using to nap.

Yesterday he decided he didn't need it. Presumably because he's not that shattered. It's your turn. Take it, but no harm in offering it to your dh if you think that actually he's more tired than you.

Omg! I agree with those who have said they think of the best interests of their partners. I would offer it to him, but then he would offer it to me, and then we'd probably reach a compromise or something.

You gave yours up Saturday, he gave his up Sunday. Therefore it goes to the person who needs it the most or neither of you. In those circumstances I'd probably give it to DH.

We don't have turns for lie ins, whoever is woken up first by the racket the dc make gets up with them. I have been getting more lie ins recently because I'm pregnant and nackered but the monsters had me up at 6.30 today.

The OP gave hers up on Sat for her DDs birthday, he gave his up on Sunday. Today is a bonus.

This ^^ though it should have been discussed during Sunday so you each knew who was getting the lie-in.

I remember lie-ins. Somebody please tell me that they do come back eventually ...

Really Holly? Threads like these make me grateful I have a dh to get a sleep in

Today one gets a sleep-in and one a morning nap? That's how we work it every weekend unless we are going out for a full day. Then I usually get the lie in

I forgot to turn my alarm off so woke both me and DH very early
