[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have kids and my husband does this.  I spent years trying to get him to take his turns on getting up with the kids.  He would do it for a while, then stop.  The problem is that when he did get up, he was inevitably so cranky and awful that it pretty much ruined the day for everyone else.

I finally resigned myself (bitterly, I won't lie) that I have to get up with the kids but when he gets up he's on total kid duty and often takes them out somewhere for a few hours  so I can do what I want, including napping.  It's not fair, but it's the best I could do.  Now the kids are older - 7 & 10 - that they don't need someone to actually get up right when they do.  I sleep in for a while (still not as late as he does) so it's better but not through any help from my husband.  He's still takes them out in the early afternoon for a while though because I need time to myself.[/quote]

I actually think that’s fair since he takes them out so you get alone time. [/quote]

You are responding to me and no, it's not fair.  Fair would be if I got to sleep in too sometimes (I could then take them out in the afternoon so he could get along time to be fair).  I do not always want to wake up in the mornings.  The hour between 8-9 on a saturday am is more precious than the hour of noon -1.  But, it's better than fighting with him when he wakes up cranky as hell so it's the best I could do after years of trying for fairness.[/quote]

I feel ya sister. The last time my DH said he would get up with DS on a saturday, DS was in my room about 10 times between 6:30-8, at which point I finally gave up. I was PISSED.  Now I just hand DS his tablet on Saturday and Sunday mornings and sleep until 8 or 9.  DH hides in bed (sleeping or I don't know what) until I finally get fed up and go yell at him (between 11-1pm).  Oh, and then DH has the gall to complain that DS gets too much screen time.   :evil: Every so often DH falls asleep inexplicably at random times.  Like the other day he picked up DS from school and brought him home and just went upstairs at fell asleep at 6pm.  That left me trying to make dinner, while DS was bugging the sh*t out of me.  Of course DH woke up and tried to eat some of the dinner, but I literally told him he could not, that I was going to eat it all.  I felt very evil, but justified.  [/quote]
