to not let DH have a lie in on Fathers Day?

[2point4kids]

DH and I normally alternate lie ins at the weekend. Nothing regimental, just whoever has had a hard week/less sleep gets a lie in on a day when we dont have plans to go out.
As its Fathers Day tomorrow, DH really ought to get a lie in.

He went out last night on a spur of the moment after work drinks thing that turned into a big night out.
I had a nightmare evening with DS2 and his colic. Then had to get up several times in the night to feed him and twice had to change all his clothes and all the sheets in the middle of the night.
When I wasnt being woken up by DS2, I was woken up by DH snoring, farting and breathing alcohol fumes in my face!
We had plans this morning so all had to get up, get ready and out the house early. No lie ins for anyone. Dh was in hangover mode and no help whatsoever with getting the kids ready.

I am not annoyed with him in the slightest. He deserves a good night out as much as anyone else and he did buy me a gorgeous handbag in town today on a whim as he passed a lovely boutique but I am knackered and if it wasnt fathers day tomorrow I'd be claiming lie in rights myself.

I'm thinking of claiming the lie in rights anyway. He's getting a hand made card off the kids, a present and a Sunday roast cooked by me..surely thats plenty of effort.... and I WANT SOME SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!

get the kids to go in and wake him up. EARLY.
tell them to drag him into another room where the cards are. You stay under the duvet.

could you let himlay in get up early make him breakfast and get him to do activity quality time with dc for fathers day and get an hour or two

im sure if he getsa nice breakfast to get up to he will know he is appreciated and wont begrudge you an hr or two sleep at least he gets quality time with children and you also get peace and quiet and hours kip

Have a really night

EARLY NIGHT even

make him breakfast?

was is this, 1950?

he needs to get over himself, lying in like a teenager.

send the kids in to him early doors.

ha ha expat i just think gestures are nice and more reason to say get up breakfast is ready im going to lie down for a while now your up

i dont care what year it is i like to look after my man and he likes to look after me a good quality i think

My dh isn't getting a lie in either! We alternate too and it was his turn today. Mine tomorrow then!!!

DH got up with DS at 5:30 this morning despite a hangover, so he'll be getting a lie-in tomorrow (and bacon butties for breakfast)

My DH isn't getting a lie in, he has to go to work!
I'm not getting a lie in either as DS doesn't seem to like sleeping past 6am!

My DH will be getting a lie in and brekkie in bed - it's not the 1950s, but it is father's day and it is nice to do something for your partner.

MrTickles also having breakfast in bed, after a little lie-in until 8 or so. But YANBU, he can have other father's day treats, you need to rest to cope with another week.

Have an early night or go back to bed after his lie in. It will make you feel very smug and self righteous.

My dh will be getting two cards, one hand made, and no doubt a lie on the grounds of being chronically ill with fatigue and yadda yadda.

Every year I get bubkis for mothers' day.

Your dh went out on the lash, he's had his 'fathers' day', you should take the lie in rights.

I'd get up first then go back to bed from 10 until 12 at least.

Im not good in the morning but DP will most definately be getting a lie in in the morning. No mor ehtan i would expect on mothers day. The OPs situation is different though, that lie in is all yours honey and make sure he knows it .

We often change shifts in the morning ie I will get up at 6.00 with DD and then kick DH out of bed at 8.00ish and go back myself for an hour or so and visa versa.

Tis DH turn tomorrow, and was planning on letting DD do him breakfast in bed around 8.00am. Maybe we should both wear ribbons in our hair to compliment the gesture... (1950s and all that)...

What about a lie in with breakfast in bed then leave kids up there to explain how they burnt the toast yaddah yaddah and you can sit and watch Sunday morning tv with a nice hot drink etc. etc.
I would as i like to know it will be returned mothers day !

Yes, I have the same dilemma. DP went off on a "walking holiday" last Bank Holiday and is now going on a "Cycling Weekend" next Friday...

Have had to change all my work days round next week etc and all my plans this week are in ruins (inc. much needed haircut). I had a night at friend's last night, so officially it is my turn tomorrow. But I really feel like rebelling. Come on, let's do it!!!

really didn't want dh see this, as his comment to the thread was "we don't have lions(lie ins) in this house, we only have labradors!!!
he wants me to post it so will do but will put do own post next

can you guess who will NOT be getting to have a lie in in the morning?

I'm up at least twice per night with dd2(9 months) as she doesn't realise that nights are for sleeping. He lives away from home Mon-Fri so has the benefit of a decent night's sleep during the week, I should be the one to have a long lie every weekend!

Dh has to go to work, anyhow.

He'll be up at 6.

Home at 1, though.

Cali - join the revolution!

count me in

My DP won't be getting a lie in tomorrow either, fathers day or not.
He never remembers mothers day and I get up first most weekend days, every week day and on mothers day and my birthday.
So as he lay in bed till 11.30am today till I screeched at him, he knows full well that he has to get up and take the kids to the park tomorrow morning so that I can have some shut eye in a quiet house.
He is a good man 365 days a year in all other aspects - but he just can't get out of bed!!
He can have his fathers day stuff when they get back from the park
