So DS gets up about 7.30am and comes into bed with us, DP usually gets up early anyway but then moans that I'm not up. I got up at 8am this morning and went and woke the DDs and he had a right go at me calling me lazy and how he had to do the bins etc and hadn't even drank his tea yet, don't know what the rush was to get the sodding bins done.

Put a dampner on the rest of the day as it's happened twice this holiday. The thing is I've gotten up with the DC when DP goes for his early morning runs.

He's driving me mad with this get up and get everything done attitude. Chill out it's the holidays. He's just said to me I'll have to get up tomorrow as he's back at work even though he's working from home!

Ridiculous isn't it? Live and let live I say!

RestingActress · 30/12/2013 22:56

It's him not you.

I stayed in bed til noon watching Big Bang Theory and eating Ferrero Rocher.

Innocentbystander01 · 30/12/2013 22:56

Haha two weeks ago I stayed in bed all day. And DH,me and the dc didn't get up until 10.30 today.

Tell him to fuckoff and fetch you a cup of tea and toast up tomorrow morning.

starlight1234 · 30/12/2013 22:57

My DS got up at 7.20 and he came and gave me a cuddle small chat and I went back to sleep till 9.45..

Why did you have to wake DD's? ( I am partly envious of this fact..My DS and sleep are not friends)

CustardoPaidforIDSsYFronts · 30/12/2013 22:58

you woke the children up?

I'd tell dh to fuck off, and remind him that it took days of labour and i pushed tantermount to a melon out of my flange

i would then remind him that i was up with every fucking feed every 2 hours ( in my case with twins)

I would tell him to get back to the fuck end of fuck when i remind him that my career wasn;t going anywhere whilst i looked after HIS kids at home

and i would remind him there is nothing inteleectually stimulating about cleaning shitty arses, watching cbeebies and preparing like scott of the antarctic to get the kids out of the house to GO TO THE FUCKING SHOP

then i would tell him to fuck the far end of fuck andc fuck off further

then i'm not calm about these things and i really need sleep

MoreThanChristmasCrackers · 30/12/2013 22:59

I was up at 9 as usual, sometimes it can be 10.00 or later.
if you have no reason to what's the hurry.
Its definitely his problem. Tell him to chill.

justaweeone · 30/12/2013 22:59

Sorry but tell him to bog off-probably not the correct thing to say!

ErrolTheDragon · 30/12/2013 23:05

I got up at 11am too ... DH didn't surface till much later.

Its the holidays - a chance to sleep as much as you want for once. It was horrible weather today, might be different if the lie-in was missing a glorious day.

I've got the alarm set for 6:45 tomorrow Shock as DH is taking DD somewhere that needs an early start - I may go back to bed once they're on their way though.

sweetkitty · 30/12/2013 23:06

Custardo - you really do need some sleep

He think I'm unreasonable I should have gotten up with him this morning. His motto is "you can sleep when your dead" he sees sleep as a waste of time.

I have to wake the DDs most days for school sorry (they are 9, 7 and 5) DS is usually up between 7-7.30. After the breast feeding years of hell sleep they are all brilliant sleepers. I don't see the problem he wants to get up early so does DS they can keep each other company whilst we all snooze.

Dh got up at 6:30 am this morning and was working in the shed office by 7am.

I woke at 8am, and lolled in bed till dd (3) woke up and lolled with me, then ds (10) woke up at 9:30 and join us. I staggered out in search of coffee at 10 am, and left dcs in there.

Dh just found it very amusing. I get the feeling yours would not?

merryxmasyafilthyanimal · 30/12/2013 23:09

Ugh I HATE self righteous early risers! 'God, how can you lay in so late?' Usually said by people who then spend their whole day watching shit TV or playing Angry Birds. Fuck OFF you tedious cockbadger.

AnyBagsofOxfordFuckers · 30/12/2013 23:12

If he sees sleep as a waste of time, then he doesn't have to sleep loads, does he? How much other people want or need sleep has fuck all to do with him, however.

Tell the knobber that you're sleeping late (even though you're not!) because you're depressed because he keeps insulting you and depression makes people sleepy.

ItsIgginningToLookALotLikeXmas · 30/12/2013 23:12

I always think of "I'll sleep when I'm dead" as meaning you are too busy partying, having wild hot tub sex with rock stars and ingesting interesting substances. Not staying awake to take the feckin bins out.

Shhhh · 30/12/2013 23:13

Oh how I have missed mumsnet Grin

Replies to this thread are v funny !! ESP custardo's Grin

LaurieFairyCake · 30/12/2013 23:14

While I love Custys response mine would be -

Fuck off, you're not the boss dickhead.

Mabelface · 30/12/2013 23:15

I got up at 3pm today. Grin He'd hate me.

coppertop · 30/12/2013 23:17

Set his alarm for 4am and remind him that he can catch up on those missed hours of sleep when he's dead.

ItsTrueLefou · 30/12/2013 23:20

Me and the kids have been getting up at about 11ish during the hols.

DH has been working the whole time other than Xmas day.

This morning when he got up at 7 as usual I said I had a headache so he made me a cup of tea and brought me some pills.

Tell yours to sod off.

usualsuspect · 30/12/2013 23:20

MY DP always gets up early.He wouldn't fucking dare tell me when to get up.

FunkyBoldRibena · 30/12/2013 23:21

Yeah, my OH did this once. I reminded him that it was my holiday too and I'll get the fuck up when I want to and not a moment sooner. He didn't do it again. Our bins go out the night before they are collected which you have just reminded me, it tomorrow. So I am in the bath now and will call down to remind him as soon as I post this. Thanks. X

FunkyBoldRibena · 30/12/2013 23:22

I facetimed him and he is putting them out now. The wonders of modern technology.

FunkyBoldRibena · 30/12/2013 23:23

Mine gets up at stupid o'clock though when the cricket is on, but it means a good few hours stretchy time for me.

usualsuspect · 30/12/2013 23:25

My DP is obsessed with the bloody bins.

It's his hobby.
