[quote=Anonymous]I get where you are coming from and would be mildly annoyed with DH, but also think this falls into the category of "people parent differently and that's okay". The kid is safe so it's not something to get too wound up about.

If it bugs you, I would totally say something to DH though. "Hey, Larla mentioned to me this morning when I was able to take her to the bus that she's kind of sad that you sleep in and she has to wake you up and doesn't have company in the morning. Maybe you could go to bed a little earlier so you can wake up when I leave to spend that time with her?"

If he bites, great. If not, know that she'll be okay and letting go of resentment is probably ultimately greater in the long run.

We kind of have this dynamic but opposite and with an older kid who needs to get herself up for a 4:30am swim carpool. DH always gets up with her. If he's away, I don't get up, under the belief that a high schooler should be able to manage this on their own (she can) and I because really need the sleep. I think DH is being unnecessarily accommodating and I get a little annoyed when he's exhausted later! DH probably thinks I'm being a little selfish not getting up. We both realize though that we don't need to agree on everything and both let it slide.

(I'd totally get up with a 9 year old though! especially a 7am!)[/quote]
