What time do you lie in until?

[Rosebel]

What time do you think is an acceptable lie in time if you have young children? No plans or anything for the day but 11:30 is a bit of a piss take isn't it?
I would say 9 is a lie in, what do others think?

In a Saturday ds is with my parents, so dh and I usually get up around 10am.
Sundays ds wakes me around 6ish but gets in bed with me and dh for an hour or so, usually downstairs by 8am. We leave dh in bed until 10ish, by then ds is claiming "daddy wants coffee and toast" so I help him make it, take it all upstairs and ds gets back in bed with dh to eat toast 🤦‍♀️
I have about an hour to myself to snuggle with our dog.

For people who get up before 7, what time do you go to bed?

If there are no major plans, we each take a weekend lie in. It usually sees us laying in bed til 10.30/11 (the last hour of it is awake with a brew).

If we have plans, we just get up at whatever time is needed.

About 9:30 is the latest standard lie in time in our house, we take it in turns. 11:30 is taking the piss if you have young children who are up early, that’s half the day solo parenting! I would be wanting some time to myself in the afternoon as recompense.

Between 9 and 10pm.

Assuming that both parents get equal chance of a lay in, and there are no plans for the day, then surely as long as the person with the lie in likes?

I'm not a big lie in person, so I'd probably be up by 9 latest, and only then if it had been a very late night the night before, but I don't really see the point of forcing someone who is sleeping to get up when there are no plans, and the other parent is there with the children. But both parents should get turns for free time.

10.30 is a lay in in this house.

6yo DD was always an early riser (6am at the LATEST) but recently she's started to sleep in on a weekend and doesn't get up till 9. She gets back into bed with her iPad and a snack, then wakes me up between 10 and half past.

It's bliss. Genuine bliss.

Usually in bed around 8pm, asleep often before 9pm.

Up usually between 5 and 6am every morning

I work and start at 8am, so a lie in on the weekend would just be a waste of precious time with the kids.

A lie in to me is 7am always been an early riser and and 5am is my usual for dog walk/workout or study. DH loves a lie in but 8am is about his latest. 4 young dc who are up and about early. My friends DH has a lie in every weekend until 11-11.30 which I think is a piss take.

I go to bed between 10.30 and 11pm, I'm up at 6.30.

Depends on what normal wake up time is. Every house is different.

These threads always bring out the people who think there is some kind of moral failing in being a night owl.

You're right. I'm a night owl married to a lark. DH can't lie in he hates it so is up at 7 every day. I love a lie in because I sleep terribly - and why not if DH doesn't have a problem with it. Doesn't make me lazy as we get the same numbers of hours sleep as each other in the end

10pm,asleep 10.01pm😀

I go to bed at 9pm, asleep by 10pm.

12:10

It depends, we have a baby and toddler who get up between 8.30-10am, very occasionally later, so I wouldn't mind my partner sleeping until 11.30am at all, as we take turns getting up with them. If the kids were up at, say, 6am, then 11.30am would be a bit too late.

When my children were young my dh and I took turns every week. We got up when we felt like it. Everything changed once they were teens. We all slept in sometimes until noon. My family likes to stay up late and sleep late.

What’s a lie in, I used to be able to lie in but I think getting up with young kids, then early for school and work has meant I just wake up. The latest I lie is about 8.30/9am but the dog barks if I don’t get up for him and the cats get noisy too so generally it’s not a lie in. Also a single parent so no turns and the days boys are away I’m up at 5 for work
Fun times

As long as it's not delaying or disrupting plans, I don't see a problem with sleeping in until 11.30am, to be honest.

9.30 am on a Saturday or Sunday. Depends on our day tbh. Yesterday we were up earlier as went to Twickenham and had to travel to London. Today was 9.30am. If I have zero plans it can be 11/11.30. Dh is up earlier than me.

Is this your partner? If you have little dc, I’d want him to take turns at the weekend, even if you’re a sahm. Staying in bed til 11.30 if you’re up dealing with the kids from early is a huge pisstake, IMO.

Mixed views. I work early Saturday morning so usually we take it in turns to lie in alternate Sundays except for the last 3 weeks it's been me getting up as DH claims not to hear him and if I wake him up he'll lie there saying I'll get up in a minute for ages while son cries.
If I do get a lie in u usually get up around 9 or so but thinking maybe I shouldn't.
For context we have two teenagers but also a 18 month old who usually wakes up between 6 and 7.

I think it depends a bit on other factors. My OH will lie in until 11.30 on his designated day, but he is totally fine with me doing the same (or arranging to go out with a friend or similar if I prefer).

There is no right and wrong time AS LONG AS the kids are looked after, and each of you gets the chance to lie in.

Me and DP regularly lie in until lunch time at the weekends. We stay up ridiculously late watching films - think 3am - and then lie in bed talking for a while, so we still only actually get a normal amount of sleep. But then again DSS has just gone to uni so we're alone for the first time since we got together. Very much making the most of it!
