OK, my wife enjoys inflicting pain. It doesn't matter if its me or my grandkids. I should have guessed its why she became a nurse long ago. Causing pain and discomfort is just what they do.

I like to sleep, and so do the little ones. She feels like its OK to turn on the lights at 0630 on a Sunday. She must force them to go to church at 1100. Lots of sleep time in there and I'm done with it. The lights go off at night and the automatic timer can send all the power it wants out the cord, the switch stays off when I go to bed on Saturday night.

The little guys were staying with us this weekend and their custom is to sleep in the living room where it main light can arouse them. Never again. Maybe I'm just selfish and don't want to hear their groans of pain. I'm pretty sure if I bothered to pry my eyes open, I'd see her smiling. No reason to, I'm turning over a new leaf. The light switch goes off, not the timer on Saturday night.

Surprised you have grand kids, I wouldn't let that woman anywhere near my balls!

That would not go over well in my house.

It would only happen once

Yesterday was my seventh anniversary (and she is my best friend) and she only did this twice. You see, she gets up at 0530 to get ready for work by putting on makeup and whatnot. Takes her about 90 minutes to get ready and out the door when morning coffee routine is thrown in there.

I leave for work after her and need 20 minutes to get from bed to car - to include shower and coffee.


I noted she did this twice because the first time it happened, she thought my reaction was in jest.

Funny, the dichotomy of this.
(yeah, exceptions and all that are understood)

When I was active duty, most of the time I was up at 0530 and it took me 15 minutes to be in gear and driving away.
That was ShitShowerShave included.

I was able to do so quietly enough that I woke no one.

When I was on swings or mids, and she was getting up (before the younger was born and she still worked outside the home), it sounded like "General Quarters/Battle Stations", every light on, everything noisy turned up to 11, and dogs hidden under the bed so as not to be tossed overboard.

Man is a gentle breeze and quiet sleep, woman is a screech owl in a tornado.

This is funny!!! (maybe not) My wife and I are morning people. She normally gets up at 0300 and I get up at 0430 (no alarm clock). We both leave for work at 0600, so it's not too bad! Lately, we've been getting up around 0130 to get an hour's workout at the gym. Gee, the place is almost deserted and we have no problems with getting the machines we like. On weekends, we're both up by 0530 the latest!

Grandsons, when they stay over, get up as soon as they smell breakfast!!!! LOL

Twas ever thus. My ex would take an hour to get ready to roll and it took me 15 minutes.
Then she would complain we going to be late.

My wife generally gets up earlier than I do by a half hour or so. My beef is she likes the snooze button. I can go back to sleep once usually but that second buzz chaffs my ass.

And Banshees, running a vacumn cleaner at 8 am.

Mine has her faults, but she's always been considerate of my sleep. I spent 30 years on rotating shifts, so that's a real good thing. On the other hand, if she shouts for me to wake up, I know something is wrong and I am up!

In almost 40 years of night call, my wife never once complained of being awakened in the middle of the night.
