to want dh to get out of bed before 10 2 days before we move?

[issysmilkbottle]

ok, we're moving on friday, a cluttered 2 bed house with 2 adults and 2 kids to a 3 bed house. I have arranged a van, done all the packing so far and still tons to do, change of address letters etc.

We have had access to the new house for a week so we have painted the kids rooms and downstairs loo, today i want to clean the carpets and we need to plane the bathroom door as it wont close, the study room also needs a quick paint job... I have done the majority of the work as dh is working but its hard with an 18 week dd....

Dh finished work at 3 yesterday and we went to the house, dh looked after dd while i finished the gloss etc and we left at half five. I cooked dinner and at 7 put dd to bed, dh went for a 'swim' which included a few pints and came home around half nine...

Today we really needed to get going as dh is working 2-10 but he's still in bed, aibu to think he should get up????

A tiny bit. I can see your point but he has a full working day ahead of him and by the sound of it he's working shifts so his body clock is probably a bit stuffed.

Make sure he does his share of carrying at the weekend though!

YANBU. Time for the cold wet flannel treatment I think.....

YANBU you have an 18week old and you've done the majority of the work. Yes he may be working, but looking after a baby is working too! Can you not dump her on him and tell him you have stuff to do?

Moving house is hard, I can't imagine doing it with an 18 week old baby, your DH is probably tired but I'm sure you are too. I think he should get up.

Write a list of things left to do and show it to him. Is there anyone who can look after your dc's so you can both get stuff done?

he needs to get up. if he finds it hard getting up after going out for a few pints etc then he should not have gone! its not as if you are making him get up early every single day of his life but when there's stuff to be done its selfish to stay in bed. i hate when my dh does that

YANBU - moving house is a one off thing so he can haul himself out of bed early for the one day you need his help.

well he got out at 5 to 10 in the end, moaning that he was tired etc but i had packed up the car and sorted dd so we got to the house by half ten and worked together there so good in the end but frustrated as we only had 2 hours...

I think he has realised now how soon it is and how little time we have as he's now gonna try and get tomorrow off, hopefully i'll get him up by 9!
