Having gone through this scenario recently, does anyone else experience their young children being woken up by your partners leaving for work in the mornings?? Luckily my dh starts work at different times, sometimes late, sometimes early, but on the early mornings he just seems incapable of being quiet. If ds wakes up because of the noise, I then end up having to get up myself, and ds invariably starts yawming and rubbing his eyes after about an hour of being up. I then get left with a ratty child whose waking time tends to be disrupted for a day or so afterwards. It is just so frustrating and annoying. Anyone out there in a similar position?
