Just leave him in bed and do whatever you want to do. Housework, shopping or meetup with friends for coffee. Maybe avoid hoovering the bedroom though.

I love the days I can read and drink tea in bed, if my husband wants to be up and showered by 7 that’s fine and on mornings when I need to or want to be up and about that’s fine with me if he’s reading in bed.

Live and let live.

Me too. One of the great joys of retirement is no longer having to get up in time to catch the train. If that’s all you’ve got to complain about, you’re lucky. If I were him I would be complaining about your early rising. I would find it intensely annoying.

Sorry, but I sympathise with him. You sound like an early bird and I find them very annoying!

My DH like others of yours I imagine , has annoying habits .
But ,
his biggest is that he “ never” gets up early in the mornings !
It doesn’t matter if it is a weekday, holiday, workday 
it’s always the same .
I wake up early most mornings , I’ll make us both a drink & I may bring mine back to bed or I’ll stay up .When I say early , it could be anytime between 6:00 - 7:am of course I wouldn’t make him a drink at that time but I will get up put washing on etc & maybe bring my own drink upstairs .
Obvs in the dark days of winter it’s nice to stay a while cosied up,in bed TV news on & cuddles with the dogs . But not every day is winter & I am getting at the end of my wits now as he has recently retired ( age 68 ,he was working 3 days a week - more to keep him busy & out of bed at my suggestion đŸ€Ș)
With family coming over the last two days , yes it has been extremely busy & tiring , so a lie in is welcomed .
His mantra to me every morning after I have made coffee is “ I’ll just have 10 mins sleeep “and that is no matter what time asi may not of made Coffee until. 8 or later , for gods are you’ve just slept all night !,
He does it on holiday , the suns shining in whatever far flung place we’ve landed ( or it might be a rainy Cornwall or France for that matter ) it is just so annoying .
So for those of you who will say,
“ why does it bother you “ ?

My answer is “ IT DOES” he has been asleep all night, bar the odd bathroom trip .
When he was working he’d literally, get up 10 mins before he needed to leave the house ,shower & was gone .
If he was WFH , well that would be 2 mins !!!

That’s it rant over ,Tia for listening , I have more but will resist my urge & try and wake the grumpy one .
