My husband thinks I’m overreacting, am I?
So we have an almost 2 year old who doesn’t sleep though the night for shit lol. She wakes up 1-3 times a night. I get up with her during the weekdays bc my husband wakes up early for work and I don’t have an issue with it. On the weekends, normally he gets up with her but I let him sleep in, so I get up whenever she’s ready for the day but he gets up to put her back to bed at night. However, he took Friday off last week, so he had a 3 days weekend basically and I let him sleep Friday like normal. I tried to make him get up with her Saturday night and he didn’t. I have to wake him up bc he sleeps through her crying. He acted like he was getting up but didn’t and went back to sleep so I just did. Same thing the next day. So I didn’t get to sleep all weekend, not one day. Then, yesterday, he came home from work and the house was a mess, I am also pregnant and feel shitty in the morning so I don’t start cleaning till around lunch time, mind you I’m still making her breakfast and changing her and what not, but cleaning didn’t get done over the weekend so it was bad. I also made dinner yesterday. But when he got home he wanted to go to target and I agreed bc there were a few things we needed but when we were there he just wanted to kill time so we got home like an hour before her bed time. I need to wash her bed stuff so I put it in the washer, which is outside of the house, and I tried to eat something but I had to go switch her stuff to the dryer so I put my food aside and went and did that, all while he sat on his phone. I was frustrated bc he saw me trying to eat but couldn’t just offer to go switch the stuff for me so I could just finish, not like i can ever eat a meal in peace anyway, I didn’t say anything, but when I came back he was on FaceTime with his parents while I was trying to pick up around the house. Then once he got off FaceTime, he wanted to like skip out daughters bedtime routine and just put her to bed? But I try to be strict with her routine since she already isn’t the best sleeper. I told him I was upset bc of him not helping me out this last weekend and I felt like he could have been more helpful around the house and it seemed like he wanted to do anything but just be home with our daughter and even when we were home he sat on his phone the whole time. He got mad and said he doesn’t know where this is coming from and that I made him feel like he is useless. He said I implied that he doesn’t do anything, which was not what I meant.  Do you think these things are unreasonable for me to be upset about? it just seem like he had the whole weekend to relax and sleep and then even when this week came around he didn’t really help me with anything. this isn’t a common issue, it’s not something that happens all the time but when it does, I feel it and I was just trying to tell him that. Maybe I’m just feeling sensitive? Idk.
