Mad at the man 😬😢
So, our daughter will be 6 months in 3 weeks and my husband is rushing her out of our bedroom. I've tried telling him that I'm not ready. I have no doubts that she'll sleep normally in her crib in her room bc she's always been a good sleeper especially at night. But she's still waking up 2x a night to feed and it's so much easier to have her and a bottle within arm's reach at 2am. My plan was to wait until she was sleeping through the night again (she WAS but we had to start walking her up bc she was underweight and now she wakes up for her bottles on her own) I mostly worry that 1 I won't wake up to the monitor, 2 I won't be able to sleep at all (most likely outcome), and 3 if she did die due to sids I would never forgive my husband for forcing me into something I wasn't ready for in the first place. It's horrible to even think about but it is a factor for me.
His argument is that he wants the bedroom back but she doesn't affect his side at all. And she's a quiet baby, he's always still snoring even when she does cry louder. I know I'll be the one to suffer if he gets his way.
The thing that REALLY pisses me off though is that he doesn't do ANY of the hard stuff like doctor visits, baths, clipping nails, gigantic blow outs, middle of the night waking, handling teething pains. Hell, he really doesn't do ANYTHING at all especially now that I'm sahm so why should he be able to make that decision? And I'm so sick of him telling me he's tired. Dude, you got at least 6 hours uninterrupted and it was your choice to stay up late. I haven't had uninterrupted sleep in about a year but certainly not in the last 5.5 months. 😠and I don't even complain to him about it!
Thanks for letting me vent!
