DP calls me lazy cos I get up at 8 am in the holidays

[sweetkitty]

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!

I'm glad it's not just me that gets up later in the holidays! My children sometimes go back to sleep and we don't get up til 9-9.30.

If he's up why do you have to be up? Why can't he let you sleep?

^^ "fuck off you tedious cockbadger". That is the best thing I have ever seen written on a screen. Thank you, I will make very good use of that.

DH and I have become old. We had a long, smug conversation earlier about how good it was that our bin schedule had not been disrupted by Xmax this year. I mean that our binmen have been on their normal days, we don't have some kind of weird personal bin schedule of binning things.

Sorry OP, wasn't ignoring you. He is being a Twunt. Kip away, as late as you wish.

Oh no. You have made the critical mistake of partnering with an Early Bird. I checked by living with mine before I married him that he was not a member of this bunch of deviants. It would never have worked otherwise.

I think lie-ins are one of the great joys in life, I love it when I go to bed at night and the alarm is unset (tonight is one of those nights ) I would be very cross if anyone woke me up unnecessarily.

Im another who got up at 11am today but i had no kids last night and up most night poorly thats my excuse anyway. I think he needs to spend a day in your shoes, cheeky sod. I get up at 5.30am most mornings on school day purely because i like to get ready before kids wake up and OH is still here so can help out when the baby wakes abot 6ish. During this holiday ive not been getting up until about 7ish, When OHs been up for work hes done babies bottle and change nappy etc then put her in our room when he goes work, the other 3 have been lazy bones and not been waking up until after 7 so big shock to the routine for us all next week

Custard - I actually Laughed out loud at the Scott of the Antarctic comment ... Now I'm coughing. See what you've done !

Oh and I went to work today . Urgh

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.

Yes, this.

I feel sad for him that he doesn't know the solid joy a snuggly, delicious lie-in can give. But that's his loss - why's he trying to make it yours? He needs to get a grip and accept some people actually LIKE sleep. Especially sleeping in.

Jealous as hell of kids you have to wake. Mine is up at 6 most days. He's 5 and we have a baby on the way as well. I'm probably not going to see another lie-in this side of 50.

Does he ever eat when u r not hungry?
Tell him he is greedy to eat when u r not hungry.
That'd b equally reasonable!

Actually I'm inclined to agree with custardo. I stayed in bed till 10 this morning (although dc were in and out the whole time). Tis one of the pleasures of the christmas hols

'Fuck off you tedious cockbadger' has just been carefully and gleefully stored away for future reference

He'd fucking hate me then, I dragged myself out the bed at 11.45 yesterday morning and 10.30 this morning. I'm planning a long lie in tomorrow too. I never understand people who enjoy getting up early. People who insist on others getting up early too are just insane.

YES! THIS ^^^

My dp up at 6.30 for work at 7.30.
Me and baby up at 10.30, ds up at 11.30.
dp drops home for lunch, im still in dressing gown running myself a nice bath watching the railway children.
Dp never even batted an eyelash and thats very unusual for me im always up and ready and rarely put the tv on during the day.
But its the blooming holidays, tell him to wind his neck in !!!

My DH wouldn't give a damn what time I got up, and we have 3 dc's. Is you DH normally this anxious about your get up times. Is he stressed at work and this is a one off or more an every holiday occurrence? I'm asking as mine would only get stroppy if stressed with something.

He'd hate us, the whole family have laid in until at least 9 on our days off. Unfortunately I'm now on nights so wonderful dh gets up at 8 so I can crawl into bed when Ig home.

The joy of the Christmas holidays is the lay ins!

I don't actually think I have gotten out of be since boxing day. Apart from showering and using the toilet. I haven't cooked just snacked. I might get up about 2pm tomorrow though. I want to see the new year with clean beddings etc.

Bed

I'm an early bird who needs little sleep (this explains why I'm wide awake on MN at 4:45am). I love mornings. I love to get everything I need to do done so I can then relax the rest if the day and be carefree.

My hubby likes to lay in. He then gets up and sees me sat in my arse watching telly or reading whilst he's doing his jobs.

I've learnt to please myself in the mornings and have no expectations of him. He's learnt to fuck right off rather than expecting me to help him do his jobs and to appreciate I've earnt the right to be sat on my arse as I was working whilst he was laid on his!

It took a while to get to this stage though as we both used to resent the preferences if the other. Now I've learnt to relax and ignore him when I'm trying to relax and he's learnt that if he tries to get me to do what I need to later in the day I can't relax and turn into an over tired bitch from hell! We've both realised we both function best if we do what suits us.

I'd say what Custardo said. Only I'd be ruder.

Honey, you just send him right over to my mum's house. She would give him the business for not helping her sort the ducks and goats out by 4:45 am.

You come to our house, 4:45 means we have another 6 hours until breakfast!

Could he be worried about something? Usually when otherwise reasonable people pick on something small its because of something bigger that they find it hard to talk about. Money concerns maybe, especially after Christmas expenses?? Talk to him.
