Oooh Nic! He'll change! Tell him my DH was up at 6am this morning to take Verity to Little Athletics and he sooo didn't want to! And when he gets home from that he'll have to take over looking after the boys AS WELL because I need a break from them. Maybe don't attack him, just calmly point out that no father gets to sleep in on a Saturday (well, maybe on Father's Day if they are lucky!) LOL Sounds like he just needs to speak to more dads to gain a bit of persepctive

ETA: I don't really mean to imply he's being a bad Dad though... as I said, maybe he needs to go online and read about how much sleep other dads are missing out on! What would he do if you went back to work? Actually.... you ARE working! I really feel for you... I know how tired BFing makes you... they just don't get it hey? Actually they do get it when you leave them alone with the kids for a day or 2... but I know it's hard when they are so young.... I was like that with verity when she was a baby... until my DH was more experienced I worried that he wouldn't take care of her well enough to leave them alone together... but the only way your Dh is going to realise is to make sure he does as much as possible... just make sure you let him make mistakes (as long as they aren't life threatening) I know it can be hard to let go but make sure you don't create a rod for your own back. Sorry I'm lecturing now... it's taken my DH a decade to understand the full nature of selflessless that comes with being a dad... my DH seems to need a hell of a lot of sleep on the week ends too... it IS a bloke thing. Still, I know it's good for everyone that I get out by myself for at least half a day on the weekends... if when I return the house is a mess and Niall is dressed totally inappropriately it doesn't really matter... gotta see the big picture and choose your battles i guess.... a few weeks ago I spent all Saturday afternoon at Savers LOL and at about 4.30pm Verity rang me on my mobile and said "dad and Wade are asleep... Niall has woken up... should I wake dad or give him a bottle myself?" I told her how to make a bottle (she kinda already knew from watching DH) ... anyhow I was mildly freaked out but you gotta let go... and all was well when I got home...

Oh and sorry... I forgot about you going away Nic... we might have to make it for when you get back then... it'd be good if we all can make it
