To think a lie in should be continuous sleep not up for hours then back to sleep?

[HereHoldMyDrink]

Dh seems to think a lie in is me going back to bed once he has got up. By that point I've been up for hours and can't get back to sleep or I can but it doesn't feel the same... who is BU?

Happy to hear I should suck it up and be happy I get the chance to go back to bed at least...But it's not the same!

It's a nap not a lie in. A lie in would involve the other person getting up instead of you.

That would be pointless to me too. Assuming this involves children?

Why can't HE go back to bed when YOU get up?

I think if the person getting it considers it a lie-in, then it's OK. You clearly don't think it's a lie-in so DH should try harder.
IMO, I agree a lie-in is a longer sleep. What you are getting sounds more like a nap, which I hate!

It's definitely not a lie in if you have to get up for a few hours first. That's a nap, and some people aren't cut out for napping (not me, I love a good nap)

If it's your lie in day (we have one each at a weekend, assume this is fairly normal) then he should be doing everything from the first wake up of the day until a similar time to when he gets up on his lie in day (or till lunchtime if you prefer)

It's his way of saying you get extra sleep too but it shows he doesn't understand that it's a nap.

I get up with dc on weekends and dh lies in. Then I nap when dd2 does. We do it this way because dh doesn't nap and I love a good nap!

But I do miss an actual lie in.

Ah, I'm so pleased I'm right you agree!

Hes off work this week ..what's the best way to wake him?!
