AIBU to think that ‘I’m not a morning person’ is not acceptable excuse?

DH and I have 2 young children. A ‘good’ wake up time is 6.30 but any time after 5.30 is fair game as far as they’re concerned. I work part time. I have no issue doing the wake ups on my days off. When I’m working I have to be up by 6.30 anyway so it’s not much of an issue. But I always ask if we can split the weekends so I can have a little lie in (I’m talking 8am not midday!). He always agrees but then refuses to get up on his allotted day because ‘he’s not a morning person’ so it’s hard for him to get up. While I don’t mind mornings, 6.30am day in day out is draining and I don’t think I’m being unreasonable in saying he needs to sort himself out and get his arse moving one morning a week?!

So you’ve put up with this for 3 years? Did you sign up to never having a lie in again when you had children?

I'm not a morning person either but I still get up with our daughter as does my husband who also isn't a morning person.
