To want lazy mornings during the holidays

My DH has just had a go at me about the school holidays. Our DC is 16 and has been staying up later than usual and getting up around midday.
I see absolutely no problem with this and am enjoying the lie ins myself.
But he thinks it's unhealthy and I should get up with him when he starts work (at home).
I just think he's being miserable or AMBU.
I said I think most families are probably the same but he disagrees

Obviously you should be able to decide for yourself, but I'm with your husband here. It is unhealthy to regularly stay in bed most of the day and be up into the small hours, especially in winter when there's so little daylight. I couldn't live with people who stayed in bed until lunchtime often (not at the teen stage yet so will have to deal with that when it comes).

She isn't doing it regularly just in the holidays.
Besides people have different sleep patterns some people work shifts and have sleep in the day and work during the night.
OP you are not being unreasonable, enjoy the lazy mornings and recharge your batteries while you can. I don't see the point of getting up early if you don't need to.

Maybe they won't like living with someone so controlling of their own free time either?

How is it controlling to know you’d be incompatible with someone who stays in bed all day?
