[quote=Anonymous]I pity your husband.

He's missing out on their childhood. You, on the other hand (although tired and feeling resentful), can embrace and live in the moment with your kids.
 Yes, the initial slog of waking up with kids every single morning is tough - no doubt - but the tradeoff off is some of my (and my kids') best memories are the silly games, pillow forts, crafts, etc we came up with  during those mornings.
Meanwhile, husband was upstairs snoozing away and missing out for all those years. 
He missed out, too, when he plunked himself on the couch all day long (sometimes with his rowdy friends) for all those years watching college and NFL football or hockey or the Nats game. Meanwhile, I stopped moping and wasting mental energy on resentment and took the kids to fall festivals, really fun outings, new playgrounds, etc.

You get the picture Op. 
Our kids are older now and self sufficient so there's no need to have to wake up with them or be quite so hands-on as when they were little.

But husband will not know how fun it was to build those pilliw forts or know the origin of this goofy song me and the kids will sometimes sing, and the list goes on. Sad really.
