Spring break woes

Advice

I have two SKs 14m and 14f yes they are twins. DH wants to wake up and leave the house on the weekends when both kids are still sleeping. I don't like waking them up nor do I like being the one that has to lay out their weekend chores every Saturday. He says I don't have to engage with them and let him deal with it when he gets home hours later. If they are not told to get dressed, eat food, or drink water, they will just play video games all day. I have been living with SKs for ten years. We know each other well. Now we have them for all of spring break and I also have the week off. I know my husband will be working all week. How do I handle getting them up and being present human beings. They talk back and refuse to do much of anything I say. Its been thus way for awhile. I am trying to nacho but I cant sit back and let these kids be lumps not doing anything for a week straight.
