What time do you consider a lie in at the weekends?

DH can sleep for Britain; he works long (medical) shifts and so I do 'let' him lie in as long as he wants on his days off.

I wish I *could* lie in sometimes - I'm an early riser by nature and the slightest noise will wake me - if it isn't the seagulls screaming it's the seagulls fighting with the jackdaws, or the harvesting machinery at the farm next door or the foghorn going off in the lighthouse.......whoever said living in the countryside was quiet?

ETA we've no kids so can please ourselves really.

A lie in is when ever I or OH choose to get up. about 11 for me and later for him.

I don't appreciate being woken up or annoyed out of bed because the person downstairs is bored when I'm offered a lie in I take it as an actual lie in until im ready to get out of bed, OH is the same. We alternate every sunday exept if he's working I get the monday morning off duty.

I can see both sides. I NEED my sleep and if I don't catch up with a lie in until at least 8.30/9am at the weekend then I tend to get ill. My husband is an early bird, but flags in the afternoon and likes to have a nap if we are home. My own childhood weekends were wasted waiting for my Dad to get up and do something with us. He was rarely up before lunch, and even then we would have to go up a couple of times and give him coffee to get him to stir. He always worked hard and was up early and late to bed. My Mum really resents the fact that we never did anything as a family. They are separated now. I guess you have to set a limit as to what is reasonable between yourselves.

Got a toddler and a 3 day old newborn. Any time after 5am feels like a lie in

Anything after 9am is a nice lie in for me. I don't like to waste all the morning in bed though. I work long hours in the week, so my weekend time is important to make the most off.

If I don't need to get up to do something I tend to get up around mid-day. In my teenage years the latest I woke was 6pm. I'm a deep sleeper. 've had folk do the hoovering, lights on, a firework display twenty yards away and slept through the lot of it.

I get by on 8 hours during the week, but naturally I wake after about 12 hours sleep.
