Currently a Sahm, Dh works Mon-Fri-8.30-5, aside from today when he worked this morning.
We usually alternate doing Dds breakfast at the weekend, during the week, I do them all-6 per week get ups and all chores, food shops, cleaning, dinners, bills etc.
Today I cleaned up and took Dd to do the big food shop, came back unloaded and out it away (he was back by then) cooked dinner, changed bin bags, tidied etc etc.
He was tired, I was too. I had kidney stones (regular occurrence for me but not nice, yesterday, so more wiped out today. I took Dd to bed.
Who do you think should/will end up doing the get up with Dd and her breakfast etc in the morning?

I was sick Thursday night and all day Friday lay down, Dd just had to play around me 😬nothing else I could do as no family here etc. Still felt crappy today but had to get food etc and managed to get out, he may see this as I’m capable of getting on, because I literally do!

You've been ill! Of course you should get it. I would hope that he'd offer and that you'd do the same if he'd been so poorly. Plus, if he's been working 6 days in a row, surely it's his turn to spend a bit of 121 time with his daughter?

You should get the lay on because your not well. I’d be fuming if my dp lay on in bed knowing I was unwell and let me struggle on while he rested it. your sick he’s not, I get that he’s tired but sickness trumps tiredness lol

Why leave it to chance, it sounds like you’re playing games. Just tell him you feel awful and he’ll have to get up tomorrow.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 10/09/2022 23:05

Why don’t you discuss it before you both go to bed and tell him how tired you are after being unwell and ask if you can have it? Leaving it till morning to decide when it sounds like you know it’ll more likely be you who caves in and gets up first is just being a martyr unnecessarily. Make it clear you would really appreciate the lie in as he had it last week.

You've been ill so you should get it although tbh 7.30 pretty much IS a lie in here!

If Sunday is the only lay in day I'd say alternate it.
