What Time Do You Get up on the Weekends?

I used to sleep in until the babies got up, around 7 but recently have begun waking up at normal time (5:30) so that I can get a few minutes to myself, get showered and unload the dishwasher do any minor picking up that might have been left unfinished from the night before.

Wondering what everybody else does!

Re: What Time Do You Get up on the Weekends?

  • I get up around 7am.  Either because the kids are up or I just wake up on my own.  During the week it's usually around 8am.

  • I used to get up on my own but not anymore.  Now I just wait for Parker to get me up, which is normally between 6:30-7:30

    Wow, 5:30 am!  I just couldn't do it.  I've always had a hard time getting up in the mornings even when I had get up for work.  Are you a natural morning person or is 5:30 am hard for you? DD is a light sleeper in the mornings so if I was up and doing things she'd wake up too.

    Now on to your question, I get up at the same time I do on the weekdays.  I wait for Mila to get up which is around 8:00 - 8:30 am.  For a while after we got back from our vacation I was getting up about 30 minutes before she did to get things done.  It was nice but it didn't last long before she heard me & was getting up earlier too.

  • Same time as during the week.  These boys almost never sleep past 6:30.  By six someone is usually up and in our room.  

    I dream about being able to sleep in until my body wakes up on it's own.  Even when DH tries to let me sleep in the boys come and find me.

  • Today, I got up at 9am. Kids were up around 8am, I think, but they don't come and wake us. They'll play together in their rooms until we get them (I know we are VERY lucky to have this arrangement).

    Normally, I wake at 7am and get ready. Just like any other day.

  • Today was my day to sleep in but I was still up by 8:30.  Tomorrow DH gets to sleep in so I'll get up with the kids, that could be anytime between 7 and 8:30.

    On our sleep in days, we are up by 10am at the latest.  Usually, its around 9.

  • I'm embarrassed to reply...It's 10:04. DH just rolled out of bed & is listening to music & making coffee. I'm still lounging in bed.  DD is still asleep - she will wakeup any minute. This isn't quite the norm (although not totally crazy).  We usually all get up around 9.
  • Baby gets up between 7 and 8 all week so that's when I get up. I don't set an alarm. If DH is up earlier it will usually awaken her. Luckily he doesn't usually get up until 10 minutes before he needs to leave, haha.

  • I'm the other end of crazy - crazy early.  I get up around 4am on weekdays and weekends are normally no different.  Sometimes I'll sleep until 5:30 if we went out at night, but otherwise, my body wakes up as early as I do during the week.  I get up this early so I can exercise, shower, and have some me time before getting the kiddies between 6:30 and 7.  I go to bed around 9, though.

  • No matter what time DS goes to bed he does not get up before 9:30 unless I wake him up. He could go to bed at 6 p.m. and won't wake up until 9:30. On the weekdays, I like to get up before him and have a little time to myself, usually to exercise. On the weekends, I just sleep until he gets up.

  • I get up when the girls wake up, usually 7:00-7:30. It's the same for me every day of the week.

  • Since I now have a newborn, I get up when he gets up usually 630am, but before him I got up around 730am as DD gets up then.  I use to get up earlier before DD got up to have some "me" time.  I will most likely be doing that again, once DS gets a schedule going.  Plus, I want to hit the gym early in the AM on DH's days off or before he goes to work, much easier when I go by myself!

  • The boys usually get up around 7 or 7:30.  DH usually gets up with them, hangs out and takes them to the Farmers Market downtown (April-November).  I usually get up around 8:30 or 9 which is when they are leaving for the market.

  • Olivia wakes up to eat at around 6:15, usually.  She goes back to sleep but she takes about 45 minutes to eat and go back to bed and by 7, Jackson's up so if I want to shower and have a cup of coffee, 5:30 is the time to be up.  I'm not naturally a morning person, at all.  I just can't seem to wake up today, in fact.  Kinda' in a fog.

  • Today I woke up at 9am, when DD woke me up.  Usually we wake up around 8am, but DD was sick 2 nights ago and still not back to her normal schedule.

    DH and I alternate sleeping in on the weekends and it's awesome.  Usually the latest we'll sleep is around 10am, maybe 10:30.

  • I get up between 6:30 and 7:00 every day of the week. My son wakes up around 6:30 and plays in his room until I get him. My daughter wakes a little past 7, so I usually will read in bed until she gets up.
  • Me and DH used to get up for work about 6 am before LO was even a thought. I miss that! I had so much more time in the day lol. No amount of coffee can allow me to do that now though, so I am super jealous.

    We usually wake up about 7:30 during the week, so I can change and feed LO before DH gets up at 8. Sundays is usually my sleep in day but I'm up at 8 and will sometimes just keep my eyes closed in bed until 9:30 or 10. But if they're up I hate to waste my time with them in bed by myself.

  • DH and I take turns sleeping in on the weekend.  So it's usually 6 a.m. (my usual weekday time) on Saturday, then 9 a.m. on Sunday.  DD gets up between 6:30 and 7:00.

  • 7-7:30.  DH is usually up by 6:30 because of his internal alarm clock.  He gets up by 5:30 during the work week.

  • I get up the same time every day 7:00.

  • DH and I alternate nights with Ben, so I get to sleep in on Saturday morning.  As long as we don't have plans that I need to get up early for, I sleep in until 9:00-9:30 and DH sleeps in on Sunday mornings until about the same time.  The day that it's our turn to get up with Ben, we wake up when he wakes up...which can be anywhere from 4:30 to 7:30am.
