Early morning division of parenting labour. How do you do it in your family?

[RebornFlame]

I just want reassurance that I’m not the only mum that has an otherwise decent partner who cannot get out of bed except 5 minutes before work or 9-10ish on a day off. It’s not that I want a lie in (well I would but we’ve got a toddler and a older ds) but I would just find the 5am-9am slog easier if he would get up with me sometimes.

We’ve been on two holidays this year and he didn’t get up with me or before 9am once!

AIBU, a mug, a martyr?

Re choosing a weekend day, pick Saturday. Then if he somehow fails to get up, you can say you'll consider it a swap and take the Sunday lie in instead. If he chooses Sunday and then doesn't actually get up, you've lost out all weekend.
