Do you let you husband or partner sleep in on the weekend until 1-2pm? And not help with the kids

Question

I'm a stay at home mom(I love it) I make his lunch and cook a nice dinner 5 days out of the week and make sure the house is clean. I have a 20m old and a 4 week old. My husband is the soul provider and works to take care of us(very thankful for him).the only thing is he sleeps until 1:00pm sometimes 2 because he plays video games alllll night until 5am on the weekend, I wouldn't care if he did it one night then let me sleep in the next night but that doesn't happen. I never get to just sleep in and not have to take care of anyone not to mention I have mastitis and been sick all weekend.. idk sorry I'm just venting hes an asshole in the morning and its pointless to even trying asking him again

Answer

My husband gets to be on baby duty at night if he’s up playing video games. If he’s denying himself sleep he can let me sleep and take care of our son and play games.

Answer

Girl first of all KUDOS because I’m on my first kid as a SAHM and my husband has eaten fast food or frozen burritos since my son was born a month ago. I can barely keep up on vacuuming and laundry so a home cooked meal isn’t happening. 
My husband works from 3 am to 1 PM 5 days per week. On his days off he still wakes up at 3 and takes care of the baby so I can sleep in a little. My husband acknowledges that being a SAHM is very hard and he wouldn’t want to do it so he helps out as much as he can when he can. I still let him game most of his days off and don’t ask him to do a whole lot, but his days off are my days off too. Being a SAHM is a FULL TIME job. When I was working 50 hours per week I could pee and poop when I needed to, drink water when I was thirsty, and eat 3 meals per day. That’s all out the window now. 
The extra few hours of sleep and the occasional diaper change here and there makes all the difference.

Answer

My partner sleeps until about 1 or 2pm but because he finishes work at around 2am and takes over baby duty until 6 or 7am so I can sleep. It's teamwork looking after a baby so the man should help where he can. I really appreciate what mine does even though he's working as Mama's need rest

Answer

Have you tried talking to him about it? Explain that you're sick and would like it if he took care of the kids so you can get some rest. My husband works 12-14hr days while I'm on maternity leave right now and I let him sleep as much as u can. However, some weekends I tell him he's on baby duty so I can sleep. We're a team in this and we both need rest.

Answer

No way,  if he's up all night he can do some baby duty and give you a break.  My husband works nights and on his days (err nights..)  off he does what he can to let me sleep.

Answer

I said yes, BUT, I let him just sleep in, not until 1-2 but as long as he needs which us normally 9-930. He has been helping me a ton (especially at night because we have a teething 16 month old as well), he has been doing his masters (it’s the final semester and very time consuming for him now) plus works full time (but is home for a few weeks helping with everything). So if I can give him an extra 2 hours of peaceful sleep, I am doing it and have been everyday while he’s home..

Answer

I just want to ask how you do all that with a 20 month old and 4 week old. My kids are that age and my husband stays home and I hardly get time to cook or clean. Kudos to you. He needs to help out more!

Answer

My husband could never sleep that late he is up at 7 am lol! Now he will let me nap ever Saturday and Sunday 😬 usually a 2 hour nap

Answer

Yes but for me it’s because I’m a SAHM with a 5 weeks old. And he works 70-100 hours a week.

Answer

My husband works 10pm-7pm (sometimes 8pm) from Wednesday-Saturday. When he comes home, he turns his games on, but takes care of our son while doing so. He lets me sleep during this time. I’m very thankful because I barely get any sleep with my little guy and I understand he comes home tired from work. I’ll usually wake up around 12:30pm and if he wants to sleep, I’ll let him. I agree with everyone else that it’s a team effort. If he wants to play games, that’s fine, but he should also be helping out with your son. Being a SAHM is seriously a full time job
