Husband getting up
Everyday I have to wake up my husband like a little kid to either help me or take our oldest to school if I don’t he will sleep till who knows when.
He always tells me to wake him up but tbh I feel like he should just do it on his own he’s a grown man. Then I feel like I annoy him and he’s in a bad mood when I wake him up. But if I don’t he says it’s my fault being overwhelmed with the kids because I didn’t wake him up. It’s like a lose lose battle for me.
But I’m curious in how others are? Is it just my husband or are others sleeping in too? Do you have to wake them up or do they wake on their own?
Also 10m pp and haven’t slept in since we had our toddler 2 years ago so crankyAF and jealous he can sleep in and I can’t 😒

He has alarms during the week and gets himself up. On a weekend I leave him to it. Go wake him if he's not up by like 9 (daughter is usually up between 6.30&7)
I gave up on getting my (soon to be ex) husband up a long time ago. He'll sleep in until like 1 most weekends, but I'm usually up with our daughter between 6:30 and 7:30. On weekdays, we're usually leaving for daycare/work before he's even gotten up.
Have you talked to your husband about this?
Depends on the day really.
We’ve had full years where I was his alarm clock even when he had to be up at 5am for work. We’ve also had a lot of other years where he sets his own alarms and handles it all on his own.
On his days off he’s up before anybody else, but then sometimes he thinks he’s entitled to a nap that’s not in sync with anybody else’s nap time & that pisses me off
Most of the time he up on his own, but on occasions I have to wake him up for work.
Yeah I totally get that.
I'd personally suggest he gets checked out at the GP cos if he's struggling that much even with alarms going off he may be deficient in a specific vitamin.
It's not okay for it all to be one sided though and if the difficulty waking is due to going to bed ready late personally when the alarm goes off if he doesn't wake up I'd let him miss texting in and switch the alarm off.
It's not your responsibility.
We both have a lay in day each at the weekend, even though i am ALWAYS the first one awake, even before my toddler, I just lay in bed until 930am onna saturday unless weve got somewhere to be. He does the same on sundays. He never sleeps longer than 9am, hes an adult and sets an alarm.
Through the week hes usually left the house at 6am for work
why is he napping so much… lol. i get if he wants you to wake him up as like an act of kindness or a way to contribute to his day, but not if he has an attitude about it.? he should definitely be able to wake up without you and not give you problems about needing him up
I have to wake my partner up and it’s the biggest bane of my existence…
