At weekends we take it in turns to have a lie in, I'm a very deep sleeper so when it's dp's turn to get up I get a decent lie in until 10am (unless we need to get ready and go out) when it's his turn for a lie in he has to wake me up because I'm such a deep sleeper then when I come down with dd's (admittidly not straight away usually because I try to encourage dd2 to have another 10 mins ) this fails and I get up but by this time dp is wide awake and it takes him ages to go back off, he's an extremely light sleeper so I do my best to keep dd's quiet which fails because they are quite loud (giggling, arguing, dd2 is just 3 and still having tantrums which inc screaming etc) eventually dp gets up and moans at me for not letting him have his lie in. Occasionally I get up and get dd's ready and take them out then he does get a good sleep but I can't do this every week.
I feel bad this is how it is, I know I can stop the trying to get dd to sleep a bit more (as it's pointless tbh) so I will try harder to get up straight away. What else can I do? I do try and keep dd's entertained so they don't argue/ tantrum/ be too loud but I can't keep them silent and he really is a ridiculously light sleeper.
I have suggested he ask pil to have dd's on saturday night this week so we can both catch up on some sleep as the past few weeks have been quite taxing on us both and I think we could both do with a break.
