SAHM’s are you okay with your spouse sleeping in on weekends?

We take turns. Sunday is his day and Saturday is mine. That way it generally gives him 1 day to lie in
He sleeps in, but I take naps. The important thing is some kind of balance, you should definitely talk about trading off with him
Same as @Raqi . My husband always sleeps in. BUT my body never lets me sleep past 6:00am. So I’m up anyway. But I do usually take a nap. Works for us.
@Brittany I could probably force myself to lie in... Til like 7:30 😂
Mines older so I go to the gym while they all sleep in. My oh having a lie in didn’t last long anyway as they started to wake him up as well.
I'm on maternity leave atm. My partner is up at 5am Monday-Friday he's on his feet all day long, very physical job, and he still tells me to lie in on a weekend whilst he gets up with the kids, I had a lie in this morning until 9.30 he got up with our daughter at 7am, but before that we where both awake with our 6 week old baby at 5am and he still said to me stay in bed and have a lie in, tomorrow he can have a lie in because he deserves it just as much as I do. We take turns on a weekend 🥰
@Raqi why are we like this 😵💫
When my husband didn't work weekends he slept in one day and I slept in the next day. Then we switched the next weekend.
Thats a loaded question. I get him as much sleep as I can everyday which means either one to two hours after the kids wake up or longer if we go out for the morning. He works till midnight so I get it, but also no I'm not okay with it because I havent had a full night sleep in over three years at this point. If he makes a stupid comment about not having time to do anything after I know he woke up at 12pm I run out of sympathy. Nothing is fair when breastfeeding or pregnant.
@Becky what an actual sweetheart, I’m more inclined to let my spouse have all the lie ins he want on weekends if my spouse is this way but because he isn’t I’m like 😒
On weeks when I wake up at 4am for my job, I am the one to wake up early with the kids on weekends because I’m already used to waking up early. I’d suggest he consider doing the same, he’s actually hurting himself by messing up his sleep schedule and basically giving himself jet lag every single Monday. Everyone deserves to sleep in every once in awhile, but sleeping in Saturday and Sunday every week isn’t great for him
Why should he have two lay ins - one have a lay in sat and the other sun ?!
We take it in turns at the weekend unless someone is poorly then it’s all hands on deck 😂
Me and husband take in turns at the weekend. But even then I'm usually downstairs helping by 9am and he sleeps in until 10:30am at least

We take turns every Sunday as other half works Saturdays.
Saturday he sleeps in a and Sunday I sleep in
As long as there is a balance. My hubs works a very laborious job and very long hrs, so I strive to let him sleep in (sometimes his busy body and brain won’t let him sleep in)….its about balance and communication! We each take one day on the weekend, Saturday for him and Sunday for me, so I can start the week off with having had a restful day before….yall should def have a chat and try to find balance for the weekend schedule!
We've got the opposite my partner works the weekend so sleeps during the week and I don't mind as I join him too our son is at school so we can nap together
He let’s me sleep in on Saturday mornings because more often than not I was out late on the Friday night and he gives me an extra couple hrs in the morning before I wake up to attending to the family, he’ll sleep in a lil on Sundays but the whole fam gets ready at around 10-11 to meet my sisters/friends at the market we always go market on a Sunday. He lets me sleep in on Saturday if we don’t have to be up earlier for anything.
Personally I think a lay in is fine, 10am however is pushing it. 8am I’d be in the telling him wake up
I let my husband sleep in, and I get up with the kids, but then after I put the baby down for a nap, I go and take a nap, and my husband watches the other 2. That's what works for us. The baby breastfeeds so i wouldn't be able to sleep in anyway.
Well me and my baby usually sleeps in anyway because i have a very hyperactive FOMO baby so he doesnt wake up until 9-10. I like my man sleep in because he wakes up at 4:30 every morning to get to work by 6 and doesn’t leave work till 4:30 and he’s a mechanic. Im not a good napper but on the weekends he takes over more so i can get things done or just relax. Im not a big napper so thts not a thing for me lol.
My partner usually lies in. If I ask for a lay in then he will get up with them but generally I find I can’t sleep in for very long anyway so I don’t normally have a lay in, can’t remember the last time I had one 😂😅
I would allow him to sleep in on the weekend since he is making the money for the family. I would also take into account the quality of sleep we are both getting. If I know he hasnt been sleeping well I would do what I could to help him get some sleep. He would do the same for me.
We take it in turns for example I’ll have a lie in Saturday, he will have one Sunday. X
