I will never understand 🤦🏼‍♀️

I truly will never understand how my husband can just sleep through or tune out our son crying.

It’s mind boggling to me that in the middle of the night if he cries and I hear it on the monitor I’m looking at it right away and my husband immediately turns his body or head the other way like a reflex. Or if he’s crying during the day and I’m in another room doing something he just tunes it out and I’m like “HELLOOOOO”

Please tell me I’m not the only one.

* and to note, my husband is an amazing dad it just literally blows my mind every time and gets on my nerve 😂

The first time they bathed the baby in the hospital and he was screaming bloody murder I looked over at my husband who was SNORING through the whole thing. I think I threw something at him lol. Also almost every morning when he gets up he’s like omg did the baby not wake up? I’m like he did....it must be a man superpower or something not to hear a baby cry. It’s incredible the skills men have 🙄

Dads couldn’t care less. They don’t have any sort of instinct.

Your husband must be a light sleeper. Mine doesn’t wake up. I’m a heavy sleeper, but since having kids, I can hear them. It’s instinctual and fathers usually don’t have that instinct.

My partner wakes up every single time, he gives him a cuddle while i do his bottle or go for a wee quick before feeding him and then will go back to sleep once we are back asleep and wakes up before us in the morning to make me tea Every single day

My hubby can sleep through the cries at night. I am a very light sleeper and cannot! Plus I’m the mom and my brain has been trained 💁🏽‍♀️

To be honest this is me. I sleep thru everything and I do mean everything. I sleep thru a smoke alarm which I’ve gotten fined for in college multiple times. My husband wakes me up when our son would cry at night. Luckily he sleeps thru the night now but my husband is a super light sleeper. I feel bad but nothing I can do about it. I have my alarm on the loudest setting so I can get up.

I can tune my kids out and go back to sleep. But other times I wake up and he doesn't. I also have narcolepsy so that might have something to do with it. I tune out my toddler more since we just let him cry now at night, my mind knows to listen for the baby and not the toddler.
