DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Question,

Do your husbands ever let you sleep in the morning on his days off? Or do you have to ask? Currently I'm a SAHM and my husband only gets up with the kids when I ask him, just curious what happens in the other homes?

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

IF and only IF I ask him. And then IF that IF happens, he goes right back to bed for hours once I wake up and then requires additional naps during the day

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

We both work and DH helps me in the mornings during the weekdays- feed her and get her ready so that I can finish getting dressed and pack up all her stuff to take her to the babysitter - but he gets up with her every saturday and feeds her and lets me sleep in. I am normally awake or wake up about a half an hour later but it is nice to just lay there with the dog and relax by myself for a bit.

ETA - we split sundays sometimes or we just all get up together

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

DH lets me sleep in on the weekends. I'm 8m pregnant though.

When I wasn't pregnant, I'd say it was 50-50. I'd get up one day and DH would get up the other. DH is used to waking up at 5:30 every morning so getting up at 6-7am on the weekends is not a big deal to him. Even when we were just dating, he'd wake up at 8am every weekend. He used to think I was so lazy for sleeping in on the weekends.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Yes, in fact this morning I slept in till 10! That hasn't happened though in awhile...usually he's working so I have to get up anyways for DD. He is used to getting up early though, so he'll get up anyways. I've tried to tell him to sleep in before and he slept in till 9...I def think he deserves to sleep in more often, but the few chances he gets, he doesn't let himself

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

I just told him this morning... we will be taking turns from now on on the weekends. One of us will get sat to sleep late and one of us will get sunday. I hope it works out!

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Yes and no.

DH is a really early riser, so yes in the sense that he is ALWAYS up first. He wakes up usually around 5. The baby doesn't wake up until around 7 usually which to me, is letting me sleep in. I tend to wake up around 6 anyway so that I can get the laundry done, make our supermarket list & shower and whatever before the baby gets up.

(I work during the week so this is just for weekends)

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

On his days off he gets up early with them and does a big breakfast. He works nights, and is sleeping when they get up most days so he likes to cook a nice big breakfast for them on his days off.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

every saturday and sunday DH lets me sleep til about 9-10am. DH physically can't sleep late (he automatically wakes up early).

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Nah, bc I have to get up to pump anyway. But he let's me go to sleep early if DD is still up lol even if its 8pm

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

I am usually the last one up on weekends. But I am usually up a half hour or so after DH and DD.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

always

We both work 8-5 M-F but if I'm dead to the world he lets me sleep, if he's out, I let him sleep.

Just a matter of whoever hears her first.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

it is so not worth it and sets me back in my day.

Sometimes I boycott...I won't wake and Josh comes in and asks dh for food.

I know in the hour that I slept, I will come downstairs to this:

baby's diaper isn't changed. she is in cloth so it is a big deal. it is like a wet towel.

house is a mess

last time josh's breakfast was pbj on a tortilla...not sure why, we had bread. josh did not eat a bite of it.

baby isn't fed

so at 9:30, I have changing and feeding to do. cleaning. that means people still in pjs at 10:30, which drives me crazy.

i don't know if it is his master plan...he says it isn't...but I can't imagine someone just being that incapable.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

jealous of you that have gotten to sleep in until 10!!!!
i had the bright idea of DD being potty trained through the night....now when shes up bright and early i have to spring out of bed and get her to the washroom

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Yes, during the week DH will often look after DS as he gets ready for work and gets me up when he has to leave. That's 2-3 times per week. (And DS is 2 so that doesn't require much on his part at this age.) On the weekends, he sleeps in on Saturdays, and I sleep in on Sundays.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

When I was home, I always got up with DD. When I went back to work, one of us gets to sleep in Saturday, and the other gets to sleep in Sunday. Tomorrow is my turn

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

I am a SAHM and I get up almost every day with the boys.

There may be a random time when DS only wants DH - so he will get up then.

He is waking up tomorrow though.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Um, I 'think' once on Mother's Day last year, but then the kids came in 5 minutes after they woke up anyway & woke me up.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

I work M-F 8-3 and he works M-F 4pm-midnight, so neither of us sleeps in during the week since he's home with our infant DS and I am out the door with our 4 year old DD.
Our deal is Saturdays are his day to sleep in and Sundays are my day to sleep in.
No asking necessary.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Once. I was up all night throwing up. Usually we both get up w/ DS though at 6:45 or 7.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

I am divorced now. But when we were married he never let me sleep in.

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Sometimes but I usually nurse DS and it is just easier for me to do it rather than DH get a bottle ready. I might nurse DS and go back to sleep until his next feeding though..

Re: DH ever lets you sleep in late??

Im a SAHM and DH let me sleep in all week. Well...at least until DD2 woke up. BUT...thats huge since DD1 usually wakes up around 6:30 for school and DD2 somewhere between 7:30-8:30. DH made DD1's breakfast, packed her bag, made her snack and lunch (healthy stuff to boot!) and even brushed her hair (she has her clothes laid out for the week so all she has to do is dress herself).
That extra 1-2 hours of sleep was HUGE for me.
Look like I'll have to be extra nice for our anniversary on the 22nd
