Douchey or No?

Question

So for the passed week I have been totally sleep deprived because my 5 month old is going through a sleep regression. My husband has been working pretty hard so even though I'm running on fumes and caffeine I've been making sure to clean up and stuff so he doesn't have to stress out about it when he gets home. However, today I am literally running on 2 hours of shitty sleep while my husband got another full nights sleep. I really, really need just a few hour nap this morning, but he acting like, "Oh well too bad." He doesn't plan on doing really anything today and I just really, really need some sleep. I'm breaking down in tears because I'm so tired and about to have a full on mental breakdown.

Answer

I am always so amazed when I see posts like this. I cannot imagine.  I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this.

Answer

set the baby on his lap and just run to the bed, he’s the father, parenting should be a team effort, I honestly don’t know what I would do if my SO was like this, when my son was a newborn to 6 months old my SO would be up as equally as me, sometimes more so I could sleep longer, until he had to go back to working all day, and even then he’ll still let me sleep in on his days off. You need sleep in order to be fully aware and ready to take care of your baby, it’s honestly a danger to be running on fumes and taking care of a baby all day, you could pass out or even fall asleep holding the baby. He needs to realize this.

Answer

I’m so baffled when I see post like these 🤦🏼‍♀️ this is his baby to and you need some sleep so he should take the baby so you can get slee or else you’ll eventually crash which could be bad for you and your baby my husband works hard he works at a steel plant factory and in this summer heat his building can get up to a 1000 degrees and he has to wear long sleeves and jeans he comes home and is exhausted and will still help cook and help with the baby but during the week I let him sleep as much as possible but on weekends he usually takes out baby half way through the night so I can sleep like last night he took her at 2 this morning and I slept in til 9 if I were you I’d make him step up and be a father

Answer

Lack of sleep literally causes your body to start breaking down, he needs to step the fuck up and let you sleep

Answer

Hand him the baby, go into the bedroom, lock the door and get some sleep. You are not the only parent. He needs to step up and start acting like an adult.

Answer

I’m sorry 😭 the sleep deprivation is so hard. You have to have help and there’s no reason he can’t take the baby for a few hours so you can rest.

Answer

1) tell him to be a father and stop being the baby
2) parenting is a team effort
3) stop worrying about cleaning the house etc. If you need sleep, sleep
Good luck xx

My hubby went back to work a month ago. And i was trying to do everything on my own with my 6 week old. After 3 to 4 days this last week of running on 3 hours of sleep I started breaking down crying. He wouldnt lay down for naps, so I wasnt getting any sleep at all. My SO took the night shift last night and i feel sooo much better. You need to talk to him. Cry in front of him. And if he isnt sympathetic enough, then just hand him the baby and leave. You have to take care of yourself. He decided to take the kid on the weekends till I go back to work in 3 weeks then we are splitting the nights.

Answer

He can take responsibility for his own child on his day off. Assuming he works Monday-Friday he gets another day off tomorrow. You’re not even asking for a whole day off from your responsibilities, just a few hours to sleep. Time for him to step up and parent.

Answer

Do you have any family? My sons dad was like that too. We ended up breaking up because of it. My mom would always have to step in
