To want a lie in?

[CucinaBreakfast]

Context: I'm in my third trimester with second baby, and have a 4yo. Dh and i usually split lie ins on the weekend (one day each) if we need it. Dh often wakes several times in the night with shouty night terrors, which a) wakes me up; b) scares the shit out of me as it's pretty agro and hard to calm him down; and c) affects my sleep so I'm often tired in the morning. He's the main bread winner and i work pt, earning considerably less.

This weekend dh has arranged with his mates to do an early morning hike on Sunday, which means I'll be up with dd when she wakes up, and that's fine. He'll be up working late tonight (works from home, not shift work), so will be angling for a lie in tomorrow (saturday) morning. I'm knackered at the moment with pregnancy, disrupted sleep and running around after my 4yo, so wondering when i get to sleep in..

Aibu to think he's used up his lie in opportunity with his hike? Or do i suck it up as he's working and i benefit from that?

First world problems, but would be good to get your thoughts as I'm worried I'm being precious and only thinking of my own needs.

No you didn’t. You posted at 7.14am ... is this really what you consider a lie-in?

She's in Oz!

DeadGood OP is in Australia 😊

Yikes deadgood that was harsh! My lie in was until 8.45, which counts as far as I'm concerned.

I know some people won't agree but I do find if I want something like that to happen at our house I have to be very explicit with DH. I.E I will be having a rest all afternoon, you will need to make her lunch, take her out to the park and when you come in put a film on to watch together. Don't let her come upstairs. I'll be down about 5 or whatever.

Probably should be able to work it out himself but he'll follow instructions happily and then everyone's a winner rather than being frustrated it didn't work out as you want it if you know what I mean?

Glad you got your lie-in :) Did he miss his hike, or was he able to join it a bit later than planned?
