Father’s Day - what counts as a lie in?

[HanPanPeg]

Normally our DC sleeps until 7/7.30 so I would count a lie in as to around 9am.

Today DC woke up at 5am and I spent around an hour trying to get him back to sleep and failed.

Giving I’ve been up since 5am SURELY a lie in now counts as 7.30am? AIBU to wake DH even though it’s Father’s Day?

I usually get up with DC normally earlier than DH anyway as a rule as I am more of a morning person - yesterday DH slept till about 8.45am and we’d been awake for an hour or so.

5am is very early though and I feel resentful!!

Put the tv on and lay on sofa? My husband gets up on fathers day tbh as he likes to talk to kids. I'm laid in bed however I am going to get up soon as I need coffee. My children woke up at 9am x

I get the whole can't get back to sleep once awake thing, it's bloody annoying, I risk getting a migraine if I do it.

But if you're doing all the mornings you should get something back in return, eg if he does bedtime sometimes then you get a longer time to wind down and chill out so your body is tubed in to an earlier night.

My husband is still asleep. Will probably wake him around 11

Even if you can’t fall back to sleep wouldn’t you still benefit from taking a cup of tea back to bed and relaxing by yourself for an hour+?

If so then I’d definitely say you should do alternate lie ins! (Not today though.)

7-7:30am is not a lie in. My DH got up about 9am but I wouldn't have woken him.
I normally get the lie ins though as he's a 'once I'm awake I'm awake' kind of person and I always fall back asleep.
Just go with it as it's Father's Day but maybe time for a chat soonabout resentments building up.

It's fathers day!! However early you were up, you've gotta let him have this one!!

A "special occasion lie-in" should be until at least 9!

By everyone else’s standards on here I am a shit wife then. I’m lying in and DH is up

What do you need to wake him up for? Is there a reason you need him to be up with you and DC now? I don’t really understand this.

We just take turns, and I tend to ‘lie in’ much longer than DH. He got up at 8.30 anyway today, yesterday I got up at 10.30 - I don’t even sleep till then, I chill and read from about 9 o’clock onwards. If on my day to get up with DS he happened to wake up at 5 that would just be tough luck - Father’s Day or not I wouldn’t expect DH to get up earlier because of that I don’t see what you need him to be up for.

My kids woke at 5am (after a shit night), I let dh sleep until he woke which was 9.30. It's father's Day! I've had two cups of coffee and he's being extra nice because I let him sleep so is now tidying etc. Whilst I have another coffee.

I got up with my three year old at six and fell asleep on the couch for an hour while she watched Paw Patrol

Husband has just surfaced. Can’t get excited.
