OK am I just losing it or is this a "normal" response?

OK, normally, I am irritated slightly when I am getting up with the kids on the weekends. But today was just more than irritation for me. I am due June 4th, and I have been getting up between 5 a.m.-6 a.m. Monday-Friday. Normally during the week the kids don't get up til about 8-9 a.m. But today the kids got up at 8 a.m. and I got up with them. DH slept until two hours ago. Now it is 12:36 p.m. and he is laying back down again. Normally during the week I don't care that he takes a nap during his break, before he has to go deal with 150 some odd kids. But really 1. its the weekend and 2. I am just fed up with dealing the the kids constant fighting and arguing! Also the constant complaining about every little thing.

Is it a normal reaction after a while or have I just completely lost it?

Two are mine and one is his. But my daughter who is 5 and his son who is 9 will fight and argue non stop, unless DH is awake.

My husband and I both get up early during the week. Neither of us want to get up early in the weekend as well. But, we have a child. So every day that we have free, the night before we decide who will get up with the baby.

It's not fair that you do it every weekend day. I'd lose it myself. Unless you're taking it easy and actually able to go to bed at 9pm and getting lots of good sleep, you need your energy for you. And to gestate.
