Husband misses getting to wake up next to one another in the morning?
So this morning the kids (4 year old boy, 11 month old girl) slept in! They didn’t wake up till 7! Usually they’re up between 5-5:30 which used to drive me absolutely insane, but I’ve gotten used to it lol. My husband is up early during the week for work but on the weekends he usually sleeps in till the 8-10 range. I knew I was gonna have to give that up for awhile when we had kids so it’s whatever for me. He’s a wonderful husband, helps me a lot with everything around the house and the kids, and works really hard to provide for his family as I’m a SAHM. As our little one was waking up (she currently spends the night in our bed a bit because she still nurses very frequently), our son walked in and I went to get up with them and my husband, who I thought was asleep, said it’s okay because he’s awake due to the noise (kids lol). So then he just quietly expressed that he really misses getting to sleep next to me, cuddle etc without a kid in our bed but that he mostly misses being able to wake up together after sleeping in on the weekend and the implied statement which he didn’t voice is that he misses morning sex too lol. Our sex life is great/fine, we average 7-10 times a week but the morning sex sadly is very hit or miss because of the kids wake times. Now I won’t lie- I miss that too!! It’s been such a long time since I’ve gotten to wake up with his arms around me and I miss that big time. But what can I do? I cannot force my kids to sleep in that late can I? I certainly tried to do that with our first and all it ever did was backfire on me. I told him I will be better about putting her back in her crib after her night feeds so we can at least be together at night (I loathe getting out of bed in the night lol), but I know it’s the morning that he misses the most and is it totally unrealistic of me to try and figure out a way to make that a reality again? Any tips/thoughts?? How long was it until your kids weren’t waking up before 7am?? My son still wakes up before 7 usually and he’s 4 years old 😅
