It's your marriage not ours. However I would not tolerate my husband calling me names daily. It doesn't mean divorce .My dad was a submarine captain and a tyrant but he never offended my mom. |

??? Yeah, my DH doesn't call me names daily. I said we have a disagreement, not that he flips the mattress over every morning at 05:00 swearing at me to get my lazy @$$ to work.

Ha he wouldn't like being married to me OP. I NEED sleep.
Pre kids I would wake up at 8:45ish, shower in the car to work by 9:15 and there by 9:45-10. Kid #1, DH is an early riser so once we got to STTN phase (12 weeks) he would get up with her around 7 and they'd have a little routine, I would get up at 8 and take care of her while he showered and got ready for work, he'd take her to daycare and then I'd shower and get ready and get out the door. So he would be ready and leaving at around 8:45 so same ish. Kid #2 is changing things a big. During the week kid #1 will get up and come down around 6:45/7 and baby will wake up between 7-7:30. DH will get up with DD and I will cuddle and play with baby in bed for awhile. DH will let me sleep in a few times a week but I do ALL lingering night wake ups. Baby still gets up for one bottle around 4/5am and if DD wakes up I go do that too unless its been a really bad night so it works out. On weekends DH will get up with DD and baby and let me sleep till 8-9 then I will get up and DH will go back to bed for an hour or two. Our house PRIORITIZES sleep lol. |

| I have tried to get myself up earlier to get some things done in the quiet (work, working out) but it doesn't come naturally. We have two kids (4 and 8) and it's a new thing for me the past year. DH sleeps til the kids get up during the week, and after on the weekends. Honestly, most people I know don't get up early.... |

+1. I have a friend who gets up after her two ES kids and husband leave (5th and K, bus comes 7:30). Husband does breakfast and packs lunches. She insists this does not bother him. I SAH too and have always gotten up with the kids (unless I’m sick) and can’t imagine my husband being ok with this (nor should he be!) |

| I used to have to get up at 5:45 to drive DD to high school. But now that she's in college I can stay in bed till 7:30 since I work close to home. Bliss. |

I own my own biz and work from home a lot so I have fairly full control my own schedule and I still get up at 5am every morning just as I did when I had a traditional work for someone else behind a desk job. Why do I still get up at 5am? Because I still want to work out before my day gets away from me, I need that quiet time before the house wakes to do me (read style blogs, update my calendar, update household chore lists, schedule/email re: playdates, grocery lists, meal planning, weekly budget updates, etc.). I do this in the early morning because the evenings go like this - 6pm DD home from aftercare and or DD evening sport activity, 7/7:30pm dinner, DD bed 8:30pm. So pretty much evenings are reserved for family time and time with my DH after my DD goes to bed. Plus my bedtime is 10pm  I'd love to know how else to get it all done and be able to sleep in until 7am!!!!!

When I had kids, 6 am
weekends 9 am Now I rarely get up before noon. Yesterday I slept until 3:30 pm. My husband doesn't care. I keep a clean home, clean clothes, we have lots of food and husband can feed himself, pets watered, fed, clean space. I do finances daily, I keep myself clean, shop from home if needed. What more can you ask for ? If my husband judged me I'd tell him to suck a d. He's not my daddy. |

| Really productive people like President Obama get up early. But dude also looks old now. Trade offs. |

| That's weird, OP. I get up between 5:30 and 6:00. It's just when I wake up regardless of when I go to bed. (Haven't used an alarm clock since middle school.) My husband almost never gets up before 8:00 when I do him the favor of waking him! |

| I WOH and get up at 5:30 or 6, before the kids. When I used to SAH, there is no way I was getting up before the kids. That was usually 6:30 or 7. |
