To want one morning with DH where we dont have to get up??

[lisad123wantsherquoteinDM]

With 2 DDs, its been years since we had a night away from the kids, and I just would like one morning of both of us waking without the kids coming in.

How many of us really ever do this?? How do you manage it?

I know im dreaming but the 6am wakeup is taking its toll on my face

Is it completely selfish and I know they are my children and my choice, but hey a girl can dream right??

I haven't had a lie-in after 6.30am in 5.5 years and have never had a night away from my children.

Luckily I am a morning person.

Yes. You have to wait until they are teenagers and you are prying them from their bed with a crowbar.

ok, lease i know now
my RL friends seem to be able to get away for weekends quite often and was wondering if it was just me.
Riven you got not any overnight care yet?

im sooo jealous of friend who get to go away without kids

Can you do as one MNetter did Riven, book a hotel for the afternoon?? LOL

YANBU. The only time I haven't been the one to get up in the morning with dd was when I was in hospital having knee surgery. Luckily I really don't mind and am up usually by 6 anyway. she is a different matter and generally needs coaxing out of bed. When the coaxing fails, threats of toys being lost start and she normally shakes her stumps.

As a lone parent with 5 dc I have taught my dc to respect other peoples time and space. I get plenty of lay ins if I want them.....the dc get up quietly or stay in bed quietly, and the older ones keepthe younger ones quiet.
