Am I overreacting!?

Question

I’m so angry at my husband!! Last night I am nursing and changing the baby in the bedroom, since he sleeps in a bassinet next to us. My husband then wakes up and says “can’t you do that somewhere else!?”, I instantly became very angry! I know he has work every day but I am the one who wakes with the baby every 2-3 hours, god forbid he wakes up once in a while.  He then left for work angrily and without saying goodbye... I don’t know why he is mad! Ugh I am so mad, thanks for letting me vent!! Any advice?!

Answer

I'd probably ask in my 'careful how you reply' voice, "what do you suggest!?" 
If he can come up with a sensible solution then great, if not, he can find a sofa!

Answer

Ummm I would have probably lost it on him and then told him to sleep somewhere else!!

Answer

My husband has tried to act like it’s more important for him to get his sleep than me since he’s working and I stay home all day...so I asked him if he feels comfortable with a severely sleep deprived person caring for his daughter all day? I also reminded him that we are doing this together and I am not a single parent. He changed his behavior and now will get up and hold our daughter upright for 30 mins after she eats so I can get some sleep. I am breastfeeding so I still have to get up for all feedings but him helping out like this has been very helpful and I don’t resent him anymore. Communicate with your husband about how you’re feeling and hopefully he’ll change!

Answer

Idk how I would deal if my bf did this tbh! He wakes up willingly to care for bub in the middle of the night even though he wakes up at 4am for work, and he took care of the baby all afternoon while I slept for five entire magic hours. If he turned to me while I was sleep deprived and said this, there would be a body to bury!!!! Either that or we’d be in a huge fight until he stopped being such a selfish dickhead. He helped create this hungry baby, he better help with the solution.

Answer

My husband is always asking me 'well why didn't you wake me up? I can help at night you know!?' but everytime I've woken him up (sometimes the baby just needs a diaper change and dang-it I'm tired from waking up every 2 hours to feed him!) he gets extremely crabby and then I have to deal with a crying baby and a crabby husband all day 🙄 men. Can't live with em, can't live without em.

Answer

This is my second baby with my husband and I kicked him out of the bedroom until further notice for the sake of our marriage. He gets irritable and rude when the baby wakes up like I can magically fix that they are hungry... and wants me to nurse in the dark no lights no tv to help me stay awake. So he got relocated to the spare room (mattress in the living room) until she sleeps the night. 
First baby I was angry a lot and it made my life hell because it was all about my husband and not the baby. Made me so stressed. So this solution works for both of us and I’m thankful.

Answer

I feel you  my husband will tell me wake me up to help you when I do his the crankiest man on earth I swear so I don’t even bother him but I to end up waking him at 4:30am cause he wakes up at 5:00am anyways so he change his diaper and feed him but then hands him off to I just burp him and wait cause he won’t sleep till and 1 hour later but I guess all man are just get fussy cause they can sleep like before but us ladies are strong women that’s why the world can live without us.

Answer

I’m sorry! My husband hasn’t told us to leave but he has slept in the other room and he makes a fuss every time the baby cries, like I’m sorry you can’t handle a second when I have to spend all day and night with her! Anyway, I’m sorry again. You’re not alone
