Yeah I do get your point Bec, and you explained it really well. I shouldn't speak for Mum but she has spoken for me before lol so here goes. Mum and Dad are both morning people and so am I, so is everyone in our family actually as far as I know. Sleeping in until 8 am is late for me unless I'm really ill, I'm usually up at 6 am, and Mum and Dad before then! Additionally I'm not on medication so I'm not really difficult to wake up. So maybe Mum you don't relate so much because no one in our family is very hard to wake up?

Maybe though Jen, your husband is on meds? That might be why he has trouble? I know when I have been on stuff it's been a bitch to wake up. I don't even try. He is being stubborn though, you're right Bec. He should just let someone work for him in the mornings...
