Do you get up with your partner

[LoveFridaynight]

Just that really. If the kids are asleep and your partner gets up early for work do you get up with them or do you wait until the children get up?
I was talking to a friend yesterday and she said she always gets up with her husband even if DC is asleep. I very rarely do the same as DH gets up at 5:0.
Just wondered what other SAHPs do.

Why would you? Presumably you are the one up if the kids need you overnight, so I'd be sleeping when the kids are

DH gets up at 6.30am, and I wake up the same time to bf DD, but I do that in bed so I don't get up. When DD stop bfing I probably will get up with DH as it would allow me to get myself ready while DCs sleep. But it would only be half an hour before DCs get up anyway. We live close to work so no need for a long commute for DH.

What?! Why? I get up when I’m done sleeping / I have to.

My ex MIL used to get up BEFORE her husband, to light the fire and make his pack up!! That's dedication to 'your man' 🤣

No, I wouldn't...but to be fair, when I was married, I was the one who had to get up first and my then husband would be snoring away! 🥴😬

I think if you're an early bird it could potentially be a nice time to connect before the day starts. Depends if it suits the couple.

I've never had children that didn't force waking up upon me so I wouldn't know! This has made not waking up before necessary very important in my house so would I get up with a partner to watch him get ready for work? Nope.

Why? Is it that you’re supposed to be being wifely as a SAHM, if you’re not yet on parent-mode? Did you ask this friend why she did it?

I wouldn't get up at 5am if I didn't need to. I actually do get up once a week at 5am for work and don't expect anyone else to get up. I prefer the peace to be honest plus I need to be quick to get ready.

I just mentioned something about getting up at 7 and she said why didn't I get up with DH. She likes to get up and make her DH a cup of tea and make his sandwiches. I expect my DH would like it if I got up and made him a cup of tea too but it's not going to happen (I do make him sandwiches but do it this night before

I mean if that's what she chooses to do that's up to her, but how rude to question why you don't do it op! Sounds like a passive aggressive criticism or a strange boast, who knows.

Also don't understand why the dh can't make their own sandwiches / cups of tea, especially if the dw is dealing with getting the dc up and ready for the day

Ha no way! He gets up at 5.30 though. I do get up before my child wakes most days to start getting ready (or catch up on my soaps)

I get up before him but not to sort him its always been like that even when i was working my job started early and I hated rushing 🤣 now my youngest is up before his alarm so I get up change her etc and make us a tea and coffee but its never been discussed hes certainly never asked for it, it just happened that way! Do what works for you! X

Does she know your DH gets up at 5am? If she knows that and thinks you should get up with him, that's weird.

No way, my ex used to have to get up early for work and I never got up with him.

I’m the early riser in our house and would hate having my mornings interrupted! I’ve got a routine that doesn’t involve speaking with people first thing!
