He always grumbles when I wake him up, but he gets over it pretty quickly once he's actually awake and showered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809862 Sun, 26 May 2013 09:26:12 +0000 Ra 809862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: I should try this. I shouldn't feel bad waking him up as I am 372 times throughout the night to pee or try to get comfortable. No matter what, he gets more/better sleep than I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809839 Sun, 26 May 2013 09:06:03 +0000 blackbird 809839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While DH and I go to bed at the same time, I'm home during the week and I get one weekend day a week where he gets up with her, so I can be "off". It's only fair! </p> <p>It'd also be hard to do anythjng like go grocery shopping or our normal weekend things if we weren't both up by 7 or 8 (which is sleeping in for us). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809831 Sun, 26 May 2013 09:00:57 +0000 Pepper 809831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband looooooves to sleep in, he would definitely sleep til noon if I let him. So, in anticipation of the baby, I've been making him get up with me (around 8 or 9) on the weekends. I keep telling him he has to get used to it! I just talk his ear off and bribe him with breakfast until he gets up, haha. Bad wife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809828 Sun, 26 May 2013 08:59:57 +0000 singingbee 809828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: this is what my DH says about his sleep schedule. I teach, also, but DH works shift work out of town. So, when he is working ill be by myself. I'm hoping that when LO comes, DH will gradually change his sleeping habits so he can spend more time with LO and I won't have to do it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809827 Sun, 26 May 2013 08:58:19 +0000 Ra 809827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: So frustrating! Don't you feel like you waste your whole weekend waiting for him to get out of bed? I'm always up by 9, too. I want to go out and do stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809824 Sun, 26 May 2013 08:56:08 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 809824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have kids yet but my DH is the same. Yesterday he was in bed till almost 1. It drives me insane since I'm up by 9 on the weekends usually. </p> <p>ETA he's not on west coast time, he just is obsessed with sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809819 Sun, 26 May 2013 08:52:10 +0000 Ra 809819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm hoping my DH's schedule will naturally change, too. I will be a SAHM during the summers, so I know I will get resentful if I don't at least get a day to sleep in. </p> <p>He thinks I will appreciate his schedule because he can take care of night feedings (when DS can start taking a bottle of pumped milk). Maybe he's right about that aspect, but I'd like to share morning duties sometimes, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809814 Sun, 26 May 2013 08:42:49 +0000 hilsy85 809814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha my dh does this and he's not on west coast time, he just loves to sleep! I do get a bit resentful esp because I'm a sahm so I feel like weekend should be for equal parenting, which is hard if he sleeps in til noon. So he does get up earlier--usually around 10. And one weekend day I get to sleep in and he gets up for the day with the baby. I think since lo has arrived, his sleep schedule has shifted slightly earlier, he goes to bed earlier now with me since we're both usually tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-and-your-so-have-opposite-sleep-schedules#post-809805 Sun, 26 May 2013 08:39:02 +0000 Ra 809805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you handle sleep when the baby came?</p> <p>I teach, so during the school year I'm up at 5 am and asleep by 10 pm. My husband works on west coast time so he doesn't wake up until 10 or 11 am and goes to bed between 1-3 am. Waking him up any earlier than 10 am is a nightmare.</p> <p>During the week, I don't see it being too much of an issue. On the weekends, on the other hand, he won't get out of bed til noon. It already annoys me pre-baby because I feel like we waste so much of the day waiting for him to wake up. I worry I will really resent it when LO gets here.</p> <p>Does anyone else's SO try to sleep all day? How do you handle it? Did you try to force him/her to wake up earlier? Did you just take the baby to do things alone? </p>
