Do you get a lie in when you've dc?

[strawberryfoam]

Do you get a lie in at the weekend when you've young dc? Husband thinks we should take turns in having a lie in at weekend he takes Sunday whereas I've Saturday whereas I miss not been able to have breakfast all together or waiting on parent having a lie on to get up so you can get out and do stuff. A lie on for him is 11/12. We've neighbors with children of similar age and they're always up and out early each weekend

I try and lay in when DH isn't being lazy but end up getting up and having breakfast with them. I think the main aim for me is having DH up at a reasonable time. He'd happily stay in bed until 11/12!

We do till 9. On Saturday dh takes dc to do the shopping. On Sunday I take them to swimming lessons. Our family days out all start about 10 and we don’t drive far.

I’m a SAHM, I do 80 percent of all childcare, he’s quite a mummy’s boy (which I love) so when he wakes in the night he wants me etc.
We usually take it in turns for a lie in on the weekend, one Saturday and one Sunday unless we have plans to do something. We don’t have hard and fast rules on it tho. A lie in could be anything from 7am to 11am depending how bad the night was.
However if I am up at night with DS then I automatically get a lie in if circumstances allow. Likewise sometimes I will take DS to my mums so DH can have a morning off. YABU, I would choose a lie in over a breakfast any day!!

Yes we do but he works shifts so it tends to be about once a month. And I rarely stay in bed later than 9am.

He gets the same but probably sleeps a little later as he works long hours. It’s nice to do it once in a while (or more often!)

DH & I take it in turns as well. He lies in on Saturdays as he's tired after working all week and I have Sundays as I work in the evenings and it's the start of my work week.

He does lie in for longer than I do though, I tend to get up and go for a run, but that's my decision. We're usually out in the afternoons on a Saturday as it's nice to chill in the mornings.

When we can, we take one day each - although I'm normally happy with 9:30, DP will often sleep a bit later on his day. If either of us is especially knackered for some reason then the other normally gets up even if it's technically their lie-in day.

Kids get themselves some kind of snack when they get up between 6 and 7, then we have brunch together when we're all up. It works fine - but then we're not one of those up and out on cycling weekend types of families.

DH has flexible working hours so can start or finish at the time of his choosing each day, so long as does X number of hours a week the company don't care. So he has a lie in couple days in the week when he feels like it. i do all overnight and all crack of Dawn morning getting ups with the baby during week, (as well as all day baby duty as still on Mat Leave) but it means i get to have a lie in on Sat and Sun. No way i'd cope like i do now if i didn't get that time.

I honestly would choose a lie in over a family breakfast. now maybe once dd is much older that will change but for now sleep wins! i think your DH has the right idea for you.

Me and hubby take it in turns, he gets a Saturday and I get a Sunday which is great for me cause I can lie in til whatever time I want whereas he usually has to get up to go out. Muahahaha

I actually couldn't be with someone who didn't let me get enough sleep. I'm currently a single parent, but that would be a total deal breaker for me. Granted, I have a chronic fatigue condition that probably skews my opinion on sleep, but sleep generally, and a lie in particularly, is super important to me.
So sorry op I think yabu.. So long as he pulls his weight over all let your dh get that one lie in a week.

We both get up together at the moment. If we had a 5am riser we might have to share lie-ins for our own sanity but we can just about cope at the moment with 6.30-7 wake-ups.

We take it in turns to sleep until 9.

Dc has a small breakfast and then we all have brunch together about ten.

We take it in turns. If my man knows I've had a shit night's sleep or I've been out, he'll brekkie the children and keep them downstairs.
If he's been out on the piss, I don't mind getting them all up and out.

We try to help each other get sleep wherever we can.

Haven't had a lie in since DS was born. He's nearly 16 months. DH regularly has lovely long lie ins. He didn't get hints I wanted a lie in, he didn't get being told outright either. If I were to take DS into him I would have to wait till he woke up (could be ten minutes, could be an hour), had a wee, got dressed, stretched, had a coffee...and then he'd be ready to take over. Well, by that time I might aswell have gotten up as it would be me looking after DS until DH decided to be ready. As he's never gotten up with DS, he probably wouldn't remember to give him any milk/breakfast. He gets up ten minutes before he had to go out for work. The idea of him getting up at half six on a work day so I could have a bit of kip would flummox him utterly. I've given up trying. He is incredibly selfish about his sleep. that was cathartic!

Hahahahahah what's a lie in? 🙃

Nah, seriously when dp was working from 5am I used to let him sleep in on the weekends to catch up. I know from experience he's a bit grouchy when he's shattered.
At the moment he has been let go but he always likes us up at 7 for a proper routine. I'd love a lie in :(

I have a lie in now that DS2's 6. He comes in, gets his tablet and stands next to the window to get WiFi, all without waking me up. 😆 I set my alarm for 7 on Saturdays so that I can do a wash before we go to Sainsbury's for breakfast, I wake up naturally around 8 on Sundays.

I get to lie in until 9/9:30 at the weekend. I'm currently on mat leave with 5 month old DS who doesn't sleep more than 2 hours at a time and I do all night feeds so I live for that wee bit of extra sleep. DH has always been an early riser anyway.

We lie in until 9am ish and alternate between ourselves. I get up on the Sunday as DDs have swimming lessons. Lie ins until 11am are a total thing of the past, our youngest is still small enough to need a nap so our whole day'd be wiped out!

DC have a biscuit and some fruit when they first get up then we all eat breakfast together (pancakes, crossiants or even just a Kelloggs Variety Pack) unless we're heading straight out.

Stbxh worked Saturdays so there was only 1 day/wk neither of us were at work. He was a rubbish sleeper but didn't get up with dd - it was always me, unless I had specifically asked for a lie in because I was knackered (& done all night time wake ups despite working full time) and then he would make so much noise & fuss, incl sending dd up to find me, that it was bloody pointless for me to ever try to catch up on sleep.

DS has a swimming lesson on Sunday morning so we alternate who takes him to that and the other one gets a proper lie on. Saturday if we have no other plans the one who is getting up on Sunday gets a bonus lie in but usually we want to be up and about to something anyway.

We do one morning each if we’re not working on the weekends.
The awake parent will usually take dogs & DCs out after breakfast.
The lie in parent is then on lunch, DCs homework, housework, laundry etc.

I also don't really get the whole 'wasting the day' concept either - surely weekends or days off should include some down time, that's the whole purpose. I've particularly noticed the necessity for this since DD started school last year, she's shattered by the weekend so I really try to not overfill our weekend days.

We absolutely do each lie in one one weekend day. We only stay in bed until 9am though.

me and ex always had a day each at weekend.In summer we got up earlier at weekends naturally, when sun is shining and weather lovely if we had a day out planned. But when weather is crap and we werent going anywhere, catching up on sleep til 11, 12 is sensible when you have young kids. Sleep is important

I'd vote for the Lie in tbh

Live for lie ins. Dh is up really early most mornings so a long lie for him is getting up at 6am so I get a lie in most weekends. It helps that ds will sleep till 9/10 on the weekend and then muster enough energy to come into my bed for further snuggles till 11/12. Clearly ds takes after me :D
