to be annoyed with DH for letting us sleep?

We got back from holidays on Monday. We were in a different time zone (6 hr behind) and it is proving difficult to get back to normal. DS(5) has really struggled to get up to go to school, and I have been very tired. It did not affect DH so much, as his sleep patterns are always all over the place.

I am not sure what time he woke up today, but he came to us (DS was sleeping in our bed) at some point and said: it's already 10am maybe you should get up otherwise jetlag will get worse.

I finally woke up at 11:45am Shock

I just do not understand why he didn't try to wake us up?! He says he did and that I am ungrateful, and that it is not his responsibility!
I do not care about me, but if he knew it would mess up with DS sleep why didn't he do a bit more?!

Yabu. Time to apologise to him for blaming him, and say you will set an alarm for tomorrow. And jointly agree a time to wake DS up tomorrow.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 13/01/2018 13:08

OP, grow up and take some responsibility for yourself.

TimaeusPlato · 13/01/2018 13:09

Yeah... Get a grip of yourself, hahaha.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/01/2018 13:10

Oh dear, I hope we're not going to be blamed this time Grin

pickleface · 13/01/2018 13:13

Anyone else thinking reverse?

tigerrun · 13/01/2018 13:14

Wow princess! Time to work out the alarm clock feature on your phone and take some responsibility for yourself. Poor bloke YABbonkersandU!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 13/01/2018 13:19

Surely this is one of those utterly pointless reverse threads

God they’re annoying

CremeFresh · 13/01/2018 13:19

I can just imagine the poor husband making a mental note to never go on holiday with a time difference again!

brownelephant · 13/01/2018 13:21

yabu.

go out this afternoon, do something really tiring (swimming, long walk) and go to bed at a reasonable time tonight.

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2018 13:36

Da fuq?! 😂😂

Yes, I have his problem with my fuckface dh letting me sleep too much. (I don't, he's a noisy prick and you should thank your lucky stars you have someone that puts up with your asshattery.)

BigBaboonBum · 13/01/2018 13:38

You sound like my ex. I’d try to wake him and if I didn’t manage to it was my fault.

Just no.

derangedmermaid · 13/01/2018 13:42

Wowzers.

Leave the bastard.

Mulberry72 · 13/01/2018 13:43

So yeah OP, YABVU!

LAlady · 13/01/2018 13:46

Set your alarm. Be responsible for yourself.

Wilburissomepig · 13/01/2018 13:47

FFS, I've heard it all now ...

juddyrockingcloggs · 13/01/2018 13:47

Christ I hope nothing dreadful happens to him or else who will wake you from your slumber?! You could be asleep forever without him especially since no one has invented a machine that makes a repetitive sound to wake you up.... oh wait... they have!

shemakesmewaitonabedofnails · 13/01/2018 13:49

Have you gone back to sleep, OP??

WaitrosePigeon · 13/01/2018 13:52

OP won’t be back Grin

kittymamma · 13/01/2018 13:52

A lesson to all.... Never write a post when you have been awake less than an hour and are jet lagged...

Hope you feel better soon OP! Nothing worse than that lingering tiredness, especially for those around you! I would suggest coffee and sugar, and lots of it.

Oblomov18 · 13/01/2018 13:56

😴😴😴
OP?
Presumably asleep! Wink

Bluedoglead · 13/01/2018 13:56

Are you Teflon coated? Is nothing ever your responsibility?

Come on, you know you could have set an alarm.

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2018 13:58

To be fair, I'm a proper, irrational thundercunt when I have jet lag. I had a stamping, crying tantrum in Paddington station once after a red eye with no sleep and a four month old ds. BlushGrin

Allthewaves · 13/01/2018 13:58

He woke you at 10am. You chose not to get up.
