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

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 an early riser, always have been.

Now I have forced early risings they wear a bit thin and if I was having a rare lie in (and I managed until 8) and someone woke me up I'd pull their spine out through their face xx

Ignore kisses, been sending texts and I've had wine

SweetSeraphim · 31/12/2013 20:53

That might be a leetle bit harsh Jengnr

God, I would kill for a lie in. Actually, literally.

Liara · 31/12/2013 21:14

Tell him that the whole point of marrying an early riser is so you have someone to do all the early morning jobs while you sleep.

Dh gives me a lie in every day. It's my favourite thing about him in the whole world (in my defence I do the nights and my two are shocking sleepers).

MsAspreyDiamonds · 31/12/2013 21:26

I got up at 10:30 today & felt that I didn't get enough sleep...Your dh would love me!

Tell him to chill out, we all work hard through the year & need some rest & recuperation during the holidays.

Onefewernow · 31/12/2013 21:33

Can't DS come into you, with a book or (whispers) a computer game?

DH isn't your dad.

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 31/12/2013 22:05

Wait til DS is a teenager. He won't be up before midday.
Is he going to be in a strop about that? It's what they do.

Your DH needs to know nobody is telling him to get up, and bagpuss wasn't real.

As in "when bagpuss is awake! everyone is awake".

EllaFitzgerald · 31/12/2013 22:15

Send him to stay at my house for the weekend. He'll soon realise what side his bread is buttered and will be bringing you tea and toast in bed at 8am.

Chottie · 31/12/2013 22:40

I'm another early riser, but I would never, ever expect everyone else to get up at the same time. I make myself a coffee, catch up with the news, do some sorting out and generally start the day gently. When DH makes sounds of stirring, I take him up a coffee in bed.

p.s. we take our bins out the day before, don't your neighbours get narked with your DP banging around the bins first thing in the morning?

thisismyYuleTimenickname · 31/12/2013 23:18

OP if he is up so early during the holidays - and if he will b tomorrow - ask him to take the opportunity to make a large romantic breakfast in bed for you?

No chance of breakfast in bed he'll be out for a run at 7am cos it's day 1 of marathon training!! I'm not a morning person I can't stomach food before 10! And also he likes to go early so it doesn't impact too much on our family time.

No I didn't have to wake the DCs for school, I wake them at 8am as they would take forever to get to sleep at night. School days I wake them at. 7.30am.

DPs not all that bad, he's not a control freak or my Dad, usually he's fine with me sleeping later. He just said that it would be nice for me to get up with him on his last day of his holidays and make the tea for a change, it's usually waiting for me, he usually makes the DCs breakfasts while I drink my tea and come to. And we forgot to take the bins out the night before (and they would have probably been half way down the street).

Anyway I've told him I disagree and he can bigger off so you can all rest easy

Michael McIntyre has a sketch where he says there is only two reasons to wake a mother having a lie on 1)someone has died or 2) it's snowing.
TBH I don't give a shit about snow, so the only reason to wake me is if someone has died. Even then it better be someone close. MIL for example wouldn't count

ErrolTheDragon · 01/01/2014 11:21

Lola - the point about snow is that it usually melts so soon that it's worth waking up for. Whereas the dead stay dead.

bigbrick · 01/01/2014 14:43

I need to be up early when it snows as would have to clear the parking & car if school, have everyone dressed in snow outfits & moonboots - just getting this on takes time
