Nah, I don't think OP is being unreasonable. I'm up at 5 every day anyway, your other half sounds like a lazy cow.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

She moans about your car potentially waking her up and you respond by being prepared to park your car at the top of the drive?
I hope this new endeavour will help your balls grow.

Spoiler I feel your pain man. I mean, women, they do know how to cop an attitude, don't they ?
Try this technique. Basically you need to show them who the boss is in the house. When you get up at 5 am give her a gold old kicking on the back side. That sorts out most of them.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

If you bring in enough money, are not a complete lazy sod around the house and your new hobby is sporting which means she knows where you are in an evening, then she shut the **** up.
Seriously she needs to count her blessings.
BTW if your new hobby is sporting and you take part in competitions then you need to "encourage" her to come and watch you. After watching you once she will be very happy to allow you to get up at 5am if she doesn't have to come and support you again.Last edited by SueEllen; 24 February 2011, 18:14."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

If the alarm's waking her up - try a silent alarm that'll only wake you up, like a glo pillow:
Or what about the bacon alarm clock?
Or a vibrating ring, as it were:
List of creative alarm clocks here.
I have one of these from Maplins - I can choose to wake up to a programmable level/colour of light (that comes on very gradually, over 30min), with or without buzzer or radio:

I am of the firm belief that there are wide variations in the amount of sleep people require. Her indoors is able to function on considerably less than me - and Mrs Thatcher apparently only needed 4 hours sleep (although her longer term health may have suffered). There is nothing big or clever about getting up at stupid o'clock.Comment

Liked the ring clock (got to type that carefully), shame it's only a concept.
Am still doing my new sporting pursuit, so it looks like I win this one (for now).Comment
