Just wondering if anyone else waits till their baby wakes up before they get out bed in the morning? Or am I the only lazy one who doesn't get up until my baby wakes up between 7.30-8....sometimes 9?
I guess this doesn't count if you have to do school drop offs....

Hehe no you're not alone. I always wait until C wants to be up for the day, and even then I'll play with him in bed for a while before getting up at some point after 8.

I don't get up until my kids wake up... but then again they wake between 6-7am.  I'd love to sleep in until 9am though, and unless I had a particular appointment to get to, I would probably sleep until then too!

I stay in bed till Isla wakes up too. But she normally wakes at 7-7.30ish so it's not exactly much of a sleep in. Although some mornings she will go back to sleep after her feed so I'll put her back to bed and I'll just into bed for a few more hours too

No, I am the total opposite  I figured out quite early on that the only way that I would get a good shower and a few moments peace and quiet whilst I ate my breakfast was to get up just after my DH and head straight into the shower. This became even more important with two monsters So I get up just after 6. Some days it is really hard but i am always glad that I do later on when the morning chaos is in full swing

Oh, I should have said that this is just during the week, we all try and sleep in on the weekend, but I always feel a bit behind and rushed on the weekend mornings

nope, I sleep in until after DD has woken, she generally just plays on us and climbs everywhere and reads her books etc. We turn the tv on and she watches that on and off then sits on DPs head haha.
I'm not a morning person so really struggle when I have to get up early

I usually stay in bed till DS wakes up and calls out to me. On a normal day that's some time just after 7 so that works well with when we (DH) need to get up anyway. Today he slept in till after 8 which was great because I've been awake since 4am
Before I got pregnant again I would get out of bed before C if he woke late and use the time to have a cup of tea in peace and get dressed! But at the moment I am happy to have a slow start to the morning. Will all change in a few weeks so I am making the most of it.

i get up when they do - mainly because the first one awake is 5am at the mo. God i'm so jealous of you 8am ladies. I'd be happy with ds1's wake up time of 7 but 5 is just killing me!

I get up once DH has left for work, anytime from 7am..I do the lunches as soon as I get up and have a coffee. I'm luckily enough to be able to have a shower in peace around 8 then we leave for school around 830.
Weekends we have turns sleeping in, my day is Saturday and I usually get up around 9.

our kids stay in bed til 7.30 DS learnt real early anything before that was treated as 'night waking' so he plays in his cot. work both ways though. if for some reason he isnt awake at 730 we go and get him up. lol. all 4 of us get up at 730 but in the weekend if the kids are happy sleeping or playing we will stay in bed til they want to get up

I'm out of bed at 6am on the dot every day except saturday which is my sleep in day. I have washing on, kitchen cleaned etc before either of them wake up usually - sometimes the baby is awake at the same time as me. Thomas gets up at 7am.

I do , unless we need to be somewhere in the morning. And most of the time I leave him in his cot for at least half an hour after waking, just while I wake up. Love it when he sleeps till 9am.

I wait until Kaelin wakes up - between 7 and 7.30 usually but if she sleeps longer i just read for longer.
I would love to get up when i wake up (around 6) and do housework...but im too lazy in the mornings

I wait until Lily wakes at about 7-7.30am each day! No point for me to get up sooner! hehe

I never get up before the boys but then the eldest starts rumbling about 5.45am and his younger brother isn't far behind If they slept later then so would I!!

I used to be like jaycee and get up 30mins before DS so I could have a shower, but then 6.30 became too early. So I just get up at 7am when DS wakes up, usually I let him play for 15mins before I actually get up.
And I just have a really quick shower before DH leaves for work.
Has anyone figured out why toddlers/babies don't know to sleep in on the weekends?

I do now that I'm pg but I used to catch an early morning shower. These days it's good time for me and DH to have a few minutes by ourselves when we're not tired and cranky!
