Does your spouse ever let you sleep in?

Question

My husband works full time. I work part time (24 hours a week) but I actually get to have my son (2)with me while I'm working so I ALWAYS have my son. So I'm kind of like a SAHM but I do work. I have my son 24/7 365. Nobody baby sits. The most alone time I get is once a week I have therapy for an hour and my husband has him then.
Like all moms, im permanently exhausted. My sons always ends up in my bed which is fine but sometimes I don't get the best sleep. I also suffer from chronic migraines (several a week), and with a toddler and work I'm just plain tired. I hate to admit it but I wake up some days and fight tears because I'm just so tired.
On weekends my husband doesn't work, but he's so tired from working a week so I always feel guilty asking him to get up at 630 with our son so I can sleep a little more. Sometimes he will, but after a half hour he will open my bedroom door so my son will wake me. Or if I eep an hour he will just go on and on about how he let me sleep in and its so irritating, like it's this huge favor and makes me feel guilty. He will say oh sure ask me anytime but then will act like it's an inconvenience or talk about how tires he is too and it makes it not even worth it for me because It just feels like he's intentionally trying to guilt me about it because he also works. 
Do your spouses ever give you time to sleep in a little ? How do you guys make  alone time in general work for your family while keeping it 'fair'?

Answer

You could make a deal where one day of the weekend you sleep in, one day of the weekend, your husband sleeps in?

Answer

I get Sunday’s, he gets Saturday’s.  Easy peasy.

Answer

Nope. But for the first 2 years I would take my daughter to the gym daycare on Saturdays while I worked out, so it wasn’t a big deal. And for a while I did get to sleep in until like 7 on Sundays (which is sleeping in when normally I get up at 5:15 for work) so I didn’t really mind much.
But now with the pandemic I’m not going to the gym, and I have to wake up at 6 on weekends so I can get my workout in before my daughter wakes up. Life sucks right now, and I am more tired than every.

Answer

I am sleeping in right now lol. You should be able to too.

Answer

I get Saturdays and he gets sundays and I'm a sahm btw! Our daughter doesn't get up till 8 though so some days neither of us feels the need to sleep in lol but before she was sleeping through the night he would let me sleep in both of his days off! She used to wake up ALOT though so i really needed the sleep catch up but he was more then happy to do it and really enjoyed his one on one time with her.

Answer

It’s just a dick move to complain about it. Nothing is more annoying than when someone offers to do something and then whines about it. Would he invite friends over for dinner and then whine to them about how he spent soooo much time cooking and he’s going to have to wash ALL of the dishes and food is expensive?? NO. My husband let’s me sleep in whenever I can, which, unfortunately, is not that often. And that’s not his fault. I haven’t slept in 18 months, so I’m really really tired. He would never suggest that it was such an inconvenience that he had to keep him for an hour. Keep him all night and then I will happily be the one who gets up with him in the morning.

Answer

Right now I’m not working and my husband is only working 2 days a week from home, so we split everything. He even let me sleep in one day and held the baby during a phone meeting. 
Once I go back to work and he starts up full time again we will tweak it a bit but still split it. He will be working from home and staying with the baby while I work in person. 
You should really sit down and talk with him about how you feel and tell him that you are exhausted and need him to do his part. 
I don’t even like to say that husbands need to “help” because that implies it’s the woman’s job to take care of the children... you’re both parents so you both need to take care of them.

Answer

I stay home but I’m pregnant with our 3rd in 3 years so obviously slightly tired! Lol. My husband and I just get up together! If one of us is sick, or something happened where one of us stayed up late the night before, we let the other one sleep in!

Answer

You both made the child. He’s the father. You should get at least one day a week to sleep in or even take a nap. My husband works full time and he helps any way he can even if its me shoving him to wake up to her 😂 it’s 50/50 in my book. SAHM is a full time job as well as you working part time. You’re obviously tired too. You need to make it known you need a break here and there!

Answer

I feel so bad for some of you ladies. We both work. He has more of physical job, but I have the earlier one so he gets the kids ready in the morning. During the week, of either one of us asks for a nap when we get home, we let each other (within reason) If I ask him to put the kids to bed so I can go to bed early, he does. On the weekends, I let him sleep in as long as he wants, but he usually let's me nap in the afternoon. 
 In my first trimester of this pregnancy, I practically slept all day on Saturdays and he took care of the 2 kids like a champ. He wouldn't let me apologize, and said I needed the rest for baby growing.
