Speak as Sue
Sue: I usually wake up around 10 or 11 on the weekend.
Mike: 10 or 11? That is so late.
Sue: I don't have children, and I am not married. So, I can sleep as long as I like on the weekend. What time do you usually get up on the weekend?
Mike: Well, I have two young children, so I usually get up around 6 a.m. on the weekend. I basically have to get up whenever my children get up, and they usually wake up very early.
Sue: I don't know how you do it! I need to sleep a lot on the weekend to recover from work.
Mike: Once you become a parent, you get used to never sleeping.
Sue: I don't know if I could ever get used to that.
Mike: Trust me. If you have kids, it will happen to you. It happens to everybody.
