His f**king alarm !!!

Hey just need a rant !
My husband starts work early. He can start when he likes but chooses to start early to finish early which I get BUT this is what is really peeing me off… his bloody alarm! He likes to set about 3 alarms, starting about 5.45 so he can snooze to give him time to wake up properly so say 5.45, 6 and 6.15. This is an alarm on his iPhone that is also waking me at times and our toddler as our rooms are next to each other. So the three of us are awake at 6.15 when we don’t need to be. He said our son wakes at that time anyway but over our Christmas time off there were no alarms and our son was waking 7.30-8.15 every day.
I’ve asked him to set the alarm on his Apple Watch as that only wakes him but he said it’s so gentle it doesn’t wake him. I used to use my Apple Watch alarm so I know it wakes me with no issue.

Now I’m bloody knackered and up 2.5 hours before I need to be with my son who will be shattered super early today.
My son still wakes in early hours now and again and it’s me who sees to him ( our son asks for me, shouts if DH goes in), so easier for me to go in so I am bloody shattered and can’t function on no sleep!!
Just having a knackered rant but AIBU? USE YOUR APPLE WATCH ALARM!!!

Inconsiderate arse. Seperate rooms or even seperate homes would be my answer.

I would honestly have murdered him by now.

Thanks all! I’ve actually got to get up earlier than him for once tomorrow so might try 5 x snoozes !!
Otherwise we’ll see what happens on Monday…. 🤬

My husband did this for years. Including a shower when our boiler sounded like a Boeing 747 taking off in the bedroom. I finally read him the riot act when he was still doing it when I'd been up all night with our newborn. And I still resent him slightly for it....

Sleep deprivation is a form of torture and that is what he is subjecting you to. If he wants to continue with this three alarms routine, fine - but he cannot sleeps in a room from which you and DC will be disturbed. If that's downstairs on the couch, so be it.
