Am I wrong?

Am I wrong to want my husband to wake up early when his son is here. My ss7 wakes up pretty early in the morning , I don't think I should have to be the only one awake with him, I want my husband to wake up to. My ss7 always even though I've told him a thousand times to read or play quitely if he wakes up first wakes up mine and my husbands daughter who is only 10mths old. So if I have to be up and taking care of our daughter because his child woke her up, he should be up caring for his son. Is that wrong?

Yesterday I watched his kid, my ss7 all day while he was at work. My daughter was cranky all evening because she couldn't take a nap, every time she fell asleep he would do something loud to wake her up. He will go and read on his own sometimes just quietly read for like an hour so why when I ask him to do it so that his half sister can take a nap is that so impossiable? My husband still isn't up so I'm in charge of both kids right now, I banished ss7 to his room for the time being and have given my daughter her cup in her highchair with her cereal and come on here to vent so I don't go hit my husband with something. I stay up late to make him dinner even though he gets of work at 11 every night, but he gets a home cooked meal anyway why can't he wake up and help me out?

Did you ask him to get up or are you assuming he won't? Ask. If you did & he didn't get up, Tell dad it's his turn to take care of HIS children & flip the damn mattress.

I asked him to get up, his response "I'm tired" oh and I am not tired apparently, it took him over an hour to get up after I asked.

Thats my problem one of the kids is ours together, so when I tell him to get up hes thinking I'm already up watching our kid so why shouldn't I watch his. I don't want to tell him, 'because your kid is a pain in the ass that woke up our kid so if it wasn't for yours I wouldn't be up anyway'

I like that idea, I need the walk so it would be a good thing for me to do anyway. Plus it would get him up and taking his responsibility.

My problem would be he probably would volinteer to help and I try to keep him away from his sister as much as possiable. I just don't trust him with her, they are certintly never alone. When he woke her up today I made him stay in his room till his dad woke up and he hated that. I'm hoping that will work in the future
