DH waking me and the dogs at 5am

[Bluedeblue]

Interested in others opinions on this, as I'm pretty sure I am going to be told by DH that I'm unreasonable. I get up early every day for work. This is 7 days a week. There's lots of stuff going on with our family at the moment, and it's fair to say I had a bad day yesterday and was tired from the early starts and emotionally quite drained. I expressed to DH how shattered I was. Last night I went to bed at about 11pm. At 5am, DH finally comes to bed, having fallen asleep on the sofa. His movement in the house wakes all of the dogs, and of course him coming to bed at 5am wakes me also. We have a baby monitor linked to the kitchen where the dogs sleep, and I hear them starting to pad about thinking it's time to get up at 5am. Basically, I had to get up for the day at 5.45am, which is at least an hour earlier than usual. DH can lie in as long as he wants, as he doesn't start work till 3pm. I'm so annoyed, but will be told IABU. I know it's only an hour of sleep lost, but I just find this so selfish when you know how tired someone is. This is not the first time this has happened.

YANBU, at 5am people are in alighter sleep and wake more easily.
Why didnt you turn the monitor off once you could hear the dogs though or say to your husband 'you've woken the dogs, I told you I needed sleep, your turn to deal with them'

Yes its selfish. If he had slept on the sofa until 5am he could have stayed there another hour to not wake you up.

Why did you have to get up? Why didn’t you tell him to go sort the dogs out since he was the one who woke them?

He sounds very selfish and inconsiderate

That's really inconsiderate. My DH would just stay on the sofa.

YANBU.

Tell him that if he falls asleep on the sofa he has to stay there until you get up. Or he has to come to bed at the same time. But he can't be doing this regularly, it's not fair.

I think you didnt have to get up then and why do you need a baby monitor for the dogs? My dogs are downstairs when I’m asleep and are trained on my schedule to be up when I am otherwise they wait.

Yeah just turn the monitor off, unless there's something we don't understand about the dogs it's a bit over the top.

DH sometimes falls asleep on the sofa and does wake me every so often, but it's just what happens when you live with another person
