To expect a bit of a lie in?

Just once a week? Dh didnt emerge til 10 yesterday, and this morning when dd awoke he turned over. If I ask him to look after her he just takes her into bed, never mind that her nappy needs changing etc.

whats a lie in

Lie in?? Ha ha! Haven't had one of those for ages! Even when we went away to a hotel I woke up at 7am and couldn't get back to sleep!!

nope YANBU, however whether or not its going to happen is a different matter.
DH and I take it in turns on sat and sundays. However he has been working nights this week and then yest slept for 3 hours only to have to wake to knock down the garage and slog his guts off all day so I relented and gave him a lay in today...lol.

Aah a lie in - like gold dust to mums aren't they?! I got one yesterday - nearly ded of shock!

YANBU but I would lower your expectations, give him a minimum, once a month or a fortnight. I find I am awake like laurz tho unless I am ill.

Hey Islamum, you expect a lie in, fair enough, however it doesn't mean that you would sleep if your DH were looking after your DD. It's my second w/e DS free and I still wake up early in a jolt, as in, why am I still sleeping? Why isn't there any noise?!! But it's too late I'm fully awake by that stage

I find an hour or two during the day completely on my own much more satisfying. Announce I am going on an errand without dc and go to the bookshop/coffee shop and enjoy the calm grown up atmosphere.

aye right, I was working late shift last night but because dh stayed up after I got home watching films I had to get up with dc again this morning, am working late shift again tonight too

then again I suppose he is working between 11-4 bless him, of course he needs a lie in

have just sent dc up the stairs to say 'hi'

Islamum · 06/04/2008 10:56

i'm really naughty, dd did a poo, I told dh it was his turn and went back to bed for 40 mins, bliss, bless him
