Flick, yea, he works earlier than I do, but we work the same hours, doing the same job. So I have zero sympathy for him! I can't believe yours is still asleep
How does one even sleep until 12:30? I haven't done that since my college days, and even then it was more like 11.
The rule in our house has always been - whoever wakes up with the baby/kids in the MOTN gets to sleep in the next morning. Of course this only applies to weekends, but it promotes a shared responsibility for the baby, plus some extra sleep for everyone.
Man I could dream. I've tried that before but he can't seem to figure out that she might be crying because of her diaper/needing burped/ play with her. It's always that she must be starving so he wakes me up because OMG she's so hungry but she won't eat. No, dipshit her diaper is fucking leaking out. JFC.

nchauhan sounds like you need to leave him alone for bedtime so he can learn to figure it out
But I guess I'll give credit where it's due and say that DH has been awesome with taking DB so I can rest or go out. But I also forced him to do bedtime together for the first couple months so he at least saw exactly what I do.

Idk if Hacienda is an Indiana thing or what but you guys need to try it. They make this really great housemade ranch and I mix that with their salsa. Sounds weird but it's the shizz.
I fail today. This morning, I decided to iron a sheet that I use as a backdrop for E's pictures sometimes. He was playing on the floor and I was feeling sweetly domestic, ironing and chatting with my baby. The sheet is really big and even just at half takes up all the ironing board's space, so I was setting the iron on the couch while I moved the sheet. The iron fell forward and I didn't think anything of it because the couch is cloth, no big deal, right? I never stopped to think that it's probably treated with all kinds of flame retardants and is likely half plastic. Here is my couch cushion now.
Luckily I can turn it over so it doesn't show! I don't think DH will mind too much since the couch was free and he is always saying it's too small for us. Still an absolute fail on my part though.

Also mirage86 sorry about your couch but I definitely giggled. Mom brain strikes again!
gigi3126 he does it all fucking night. Then his knees start to fall and he'll swing them back up. It pulls the blanket and wakes me up. I've started knocking his legs down at night.

Working hard does not justify sleeping until 1. Tell him to grow up and be a responsible adult. He has a child now, he can't be pulling stuff like that. You need some "me time" too!
+1 DH works 45 hrs a week, and was up with T at 6am (because I had been up since 4 and needed a break). He is now outside with a pile of logs and a chainsaw, and later will undoubtedly cook dinner.
However, if I told him he could stay up til 2am gaming and sleep in til 1, it might even trump sex. The middle-school mentality never really dies!

Flick I feel your pain. MH also sleeps late into the afternoon on weekends. This might be a FFSatC, but I'll purposely bring LO into the room so he'll wake up. "Oh sorry! "

Glad I could give you a reason to! Hopefully your SO will start shaping up. I agree with PP (and you) I'd be furious!
