[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]

Yeah, I would take his side of the arrangement in a second. Hers?  It so much. Never getting to sleep in sucks.

If I got to sleep late, I would happily take the kids out in the afternoon. Getting an afternoon break is a distant second to getting to sleep late every weekend![/quote]
