DH not getting up in morning (rant)

We have DS1 who is 2.5 yo and DS2 who is 7 weeks. DH is supposed to get up at 7am and get DS1 ready for nursery and drop him off before going to work. However, 9 out of 10 mornings, I need to wake up DH because he snoozed his alarm. Then DS1 sees that I am up and wants me to come downstairs with them. So I miss out on sleep because DS2 usually wakes at 8am and I could lie in a bit. DS2 breastfeeds and wakes at least twice during the night. I feel DH behaves like a grumpy teenager and I behave like everyone's mother. I am really starting to get grumpy myself and am frankly disappointed in DH's behaviour. WWYD?

Stop waking him up, refuse to get out of bed. Even if you’re not asleep, just stay in bed (pretend to be asleep if it stops your 2yo asking you to go downstairs). Tell your husband in the evening that it’s really getting you down as you feel he’s not supporting you with lack of sleep, hopefully that will stop him snoozing his alarm.
But ultimately stop getting him up - let him get on with it, if he’s late because he’s missed his alarm that’s his problem!
