How many of you out there have to wake you husband up in the morning like a little baby. I have to every morning I dont work, but I do need to get him up and make his coffee in the morning then get his kid up and ready for school. which i dont mind I just want to know how many husbands have to have there wife wake them up for work. Or how about having to have dinner ready or started by the time he gets home. (well I dont have to but thats the way he perfers it)

My husband's alamrm used to be on his side of the bed but I just couldn't deal with him hitting the snooze button all the time. Now I have the alarm on my side. I shut it off as soon as it goes off and kick him until he gets up. haha As for dinner, sometimes I have it ready when he gets home and other times I don't. He doesn't expect it of me and has never said anything to that effect. He is always appreciative when he comes home hungry and it is ready though.

Hi libertarianfreedom21, since had married I never have to wake my hubby up early the mornings as he always set the alarm clock before going to bed daily. He usually goes to work 20 minutes earlier than I am used to be. We normally take breakfast at the working place individually.

I have to get my husband up and make the coffee. He just doesn't hear the alarm clock and would never get up unless I woke him. If I am at work, then I have to call him on the phone and usually I have to call several times till he hears it. LOL I am naturally a early riser anyway, I usually wake before the alarm goes off so it's really not a problem for me. As for dinner at night, I usually work till 8 pm so having dinner ready for him is impossible unless I have a day off. I try to have something made though that he can heat up, or have something in the freezer that he can make like pizzas or burgers.

My wife wakes me up at 6am every weekday morning. It is easy for her...she just tickles my tummy, and let me tell you, it is very effective! LOL. She wakes me up so that I can accompany her for breakfast (even though it is rather early for me to have my breakfast), before she goes off to work. She's a teacher, so she has to leave the house by 6.30am. I have not failed to oblige her, and take breakfast with her. What are husbands for, right?

yea I wish I could make breakfast for everyone but its hard for me to get up too so thats why its hard to get him up to go to work since I dont work I dont really try to do anything in the morning other than what I have to do.

I wake my husband up every morning otherwise he would never wake up. I really dont mind much except some mornings when I am very tired and dont want to be bothered. Other than that I like it because I get to spend a few minutes with him every morning since the nights I work we dont see eachother since I work nights and he works days.

Well, that's how we were soon after we were married...I had to wake my husband up in the morning...and he needed his tea ready before he was up...but I couldn't cook and we would have arguments over that because he expected food to be ready when he got home. But we've learnt to co-exist. Now whoever gets up first makes tea...and sometimes I'm up first but have no time and he makes tea himself and helps to get our son ready for school. In fact, I find that he is the one who is up first most mornings....and about dinner, if I can't cook, I just order out and he's fine with that too...sometimes I ask him to pick up something on his way back home.

My hubby usualy gets up around 6 or 7am and I do not wake until our son gets up around 9 or even 10. I have rarely ever woken him up. He's pretty good about getting up on his own. Our dinner is around his schedule also. He tends to get off around 7pm so that's a good time for all of us to eat so I try to have it ready. Also it gets us into a routine for son to get his bath and head to bed. If he doesn't get off until 10 or after 7pm then son and I eat whenever and hubby will have a plate in the microwave for him to heat up when he gets home. Hubby can prefer whatever he wants but that doesn't mean he will get it.

LOL yea thats about how it is with our dinner but we have it at like 5:30 or 6. My hubby says if you want more money youll help me get up so I'm early and not late LOL. OH well I have to get up in like 30 min to 45 min after he gets up to get his son up and then I go back to bed after hes off to school.
