Would it bother you if your partner got up later than you?

[bendmeoverbackwards]

Partner 1 has a full time professional job and gets up at 6.30am every weekday.

Partner 2 was a SAHM to 3 dc and now works part time (2 days/week).

P2 loves sleep and sometimes doesn’t get up till 10am on non working days. P2 does all the cooking, laundry and house admin.

If you were P1, would P2’s late getting up bother you?

Does that matter ? It’s their choice they can obviously afford to do that … why should she work full time 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well I don't know!

I lie in every weekend. I have 3 jobs and my weeks are hectic and I feel I deserve it!!

DH does not lie in on the weekend, but he could if he wanted to. He moans he's tired all the time, but he never lies in. I sometimes wonder if he is secretly annoyed with me lying in bed til 10am on weekends, but it's not like he can't. He just won't!

If partner 2 is dealing with stuff until late whilst partner 1 relaxs it wouldn't be an issue swings and roundabouts.

My husband often has the lie in. Kids are not old enough to do it all for themselves. I get up early and do the kids and then work a full day. It used to bother me less, but now I’m pretty pissed about it. Over the years it becomes super annoying and feels very unfair.
Work/ free time should be balanced in my opinion. Sounds like you don’t work too much and have all the benefits that go with that.
